(F)And I made them take an oath in the name of God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves. 26 (G)Did not Solomon king of Israel sin on account of such women? (H)Among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was (I)beloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless, foreign women made even him to sin. 27 Shall we then listen to you and do all this great evil and (J)act treacherously against our God by marrying foreign women?”
