## Nehemiah 13:23-24 in Context (Verses 20–27 KJV)
 
 [20 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/20) So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/21) Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do *so* again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no *more* on the sabbath.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/22) And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and *that* they should come *and* keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, *concerning* this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.*
 
 [23 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/23) ¶ In those days also saw I Jews *that* had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, *and* of Moab:*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/24) And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people.**
 
 [25 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/25) And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, *saying*, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.*
 
 [26 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/26) Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/27) Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
 
[Nehemiah 12](/kjv/nehemiah/12) [Esther 1](/kjv/esther/1)
