They were from nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites,“ You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love.

The Lord had warned Israel about women from other nations. He had said,“ You must not marry them. If you do, you can be sure they will turn your hearts toward their gods.” But Solomon continued to love them anyway. He wouldn’t give them up.

from the nations concerning which the Lord had said to the people of Israel,“ You shall not enter into marriage with them, neither shall they with you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love.

The Lord had clearly instructed the people of Israel,“ You must not marry them, because they will turn your hearts to their gods.” Yet Solomon insisted on loving them anyway.

from the nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites,“ You must not intermarry with them, and they must not intermarry with you, because they will turn your heart away to follow their gods.” To these women Solomon was deeply attached in love.

from the nations of which the Lord had said to the sons of Israel,“ You shall not associate with them, nor shall they associate with you; they will certainly turn your heart away to follow their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love.

and you then take his daughters for your sons, and when his daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will make your sons prostitute themselves to their gods as well.

You must not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,for they will turn your sons away from me to worship other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will erupt against you and he will quickly destroy you.

But if you ever turn away and make alliances with these nations that remain near you, and intermarry with them and establish friendly relations with them,know for certain that the LORD our God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. They will trap and ensnare you; they will be a whip that tears your sides and thorns that blind your eyes until you disappear from this good land the LORD your God gave you.

When Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to commit sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab.These women invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods; then the people ate and bowed down to their gods.When Israel joined themselves to Baal-peor, the anger of the LORD flared up against Israel.

“ You must make no covenant with them or with their gods.They must not live in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

Judah has become disloyal, and unspeakable sins have been committed in Israel and Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the holy things that the LORD loves and has turned to a foreign god!

Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness?And what agreement does Christ have with Beliar? Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever?And what mutual agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said,“ I will live in them and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”

But I have this against you: You have departed from your first love!

Do not be deceived:“ Bad company corrupts good morals.”

Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good.

Although they fully know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.

As if following in the sinful footsteps of Jeroboam son of Nebat were not bad enough, he married Jezebel the daughter of King Ethbaal of the Sidonians. Then he worshiped and bowed to Baal.He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal he had built in Samaria.Ahab also made an Asherah pole; he did more to anger the LORD God of Israel than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

He followed in the footsteps of the kings of Israel, just as Ahab’s dynasty had done, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did evil in the sight of the LORD.

That is why a man leaves his father and mother and unites with his wife, and they become a new family.

Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, from the descendants of Elam, addressed Ezra:“ We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the local peoples. Nonetheless, there is still hope for Israel in this regard.Therefore let us enact a covenant with our God to send away all these women and their offspring, in keeping with your counsel, my lord, and that of those who respect the commandments of our God. And let it be done according to the law.Get up, for this matter concerns you. We are with you, so be strong and act decisively!”So Ezra got up and made the leading priests and Levites and all Israel take an oath to carry out this plan. And they all took a solemn oath.Then Ezra got up from in front of the temple of God and went to the room of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. While he stayed there, he did not eat food or drink water, for he was in mourning over the infidelity of the exiles.A proclamation was circulated throughout Judah and Jerusalem that all the exiles were to be assembled in Jerusalem.Everyone who did not come within three days would thereby forfeit all his property, in keeping with the counsel of the officials and the elders. Furthermore, he himself would be excluded from the assembly of the exiles.All the men of Judah and Benjamin were gathered in Jerusalem within the three days.( It was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of that month.) All the people sat in the square at the temple of God, trembling because of this matter and because of the rains.Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them,“ You have behaved in an unfaithful manner by taking foreign wives! This has contributed to the guilt of Israel.Now give praise to the LORD God of your fathers, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the local residents and from these foreign wives.”All the assembly replied in a loud voice:“ We will do just as you have said!However, the people are numerous and it is the rainy season. We are unable to stand here outside. Furthermore, this business cannot be resolved in a day or two, for we have sinned greatly in this matter.Let our leaders take steps on behalf of all the assembly. Let all those in our towns who have married foreign women come at an appointed time, and with them the elders of each town and its judges, until the hot anger of our God is turned away from us in this matter.”Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah were against this, assisted by Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite.So the exiles proceeded accordingly. Ezra the priest separated out by name men who were leaders in their family groups. They sat down to consider this matter on the first day of the tenth month,and on the first day of the first month they finished considering all the men who had married foreign wives.

After this Samson fell in love with a woman named Delilah, who lived in the Sorek Valley.The rulers of the Philistines went up to visit her and said to her,“ Trick him! Find out what makes him so strong and how we can subdue him and humiliate him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred silver pieces.”So Delilah said to Samson,“ Tell me what makes you so strong and how you can be subdued and humiliated.”Samson said to her,“ If they tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I will become weak and be just like any other man.”So the rulers of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings which had not been dried and they tied him up with them.They hid in the bedroom and then she said to him,“ The Philistines are here, Samson!” He snapped the bowstrings as easily as a thread of yarn snaps when it is put close to fire. The secret of his strength was not discovered.Delilah said to Samson,“ Look, you deceived me and told me lies! Now tell me how you can be subdued.”He said to her,“ If they tie me tightly with brand new ropes that have never been used, I will become weak and be just like any other man.”So Delilah took new ropes and tied him with them and said to him,“ The Philistines are here, Samson!”( The Philistines were hiding in the bedroom.) But he tore the ropes from his arms as if they were a piece of thread.Delilah said to Samson,“ Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies. Tell me how you can be subdued.” He said to her,“ If you weave the seven braids of my hair into the fabric on the loom and secure it with the pin, I will become weak and be like any other man.”So she made him go to sleep, wove the seven braids of his hair into the fabric on the loom, fastened it with the pin, and said to him,“ The Philistines are here, Samson!” He woke up and tore away the pin of the loom and the fabric.She said to him,“ How can you say,‘ I love you,’ when you will not share your secret with me? Three times you have deceived me and have not told me what makes you so strong.”She nagged him every day and pressured him until he was sick to death of it.Finally he told her his secret. He said to her,“ My hair has never been cut, for I have been dedicated to God from the time I was conceived. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me; I would become weak, and be just like all other men.”When Delilah saw that he had told her his secret, she sent for the rulers of the Philistines, saying,“ Come up here again, for he has told me his secret.” So the rulers of the Philistines went up to visit her, bringing the silver in their hands.She made him go to sleep on her lap and then called a man in to shave off the seven braids of his hair. She made him vulnerable and his strength left him.She said,“ The Philistines are here, Samson!” He woke up and thought,“ I will do as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not realize that the LORD had left him.The Philistines captured him and gouged out his eyes. They brought him down to Gaza and bound him in bronze chains. He became a grinder in the prison.

They took the Canaanites’ daughters as wives and gave their daughters to the Canaanites; they worshiped their gods as well.The Israelites did evil in the LORD’s sight. They forgot the LORD their God and worshiped the Baals and the Asherahs.

O LORD, do I not hate those who hate you, and despise those who oppose you?

Therefore do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons, and do not take their daughters in marriage for your sons. Do not ever seek their peace or welfare, so that you may be strong and may eat the good of the land and may leave it as an inheritance for your children forever.’

the prophet Jehu son of Hanani confronted him; he said to King Jehoshaphat,“ Is it right to help the wicked and be an ally of those who oppose the LORD? Because you have done this the LORD is angry with you!
