Nehemiah 13:25-26
New King James Version
25 So I (A)contended with them and [a]cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them (B)swear by God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters as wives to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons or yourselves. 26 (C)Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, (D)who was beloved of his God; and God made him king over all Israel. (E)Nevertheless pagan women caused even him to sin.

Nehemiah 13:25-26
New International Version
25 I rebuked them and called curses down on them. I beat some of the men and pulled out their hair. I made them take an oath(A) in God’s name and said: “You are not to give your daughters in marriage to their sons, nor are you to take their daughters in marriage for your sons or for yourselves.(B) 26 Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him.(C) He was loved by his God,(D) and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.(E)
