Contextual Overview

23 In those dayes also sawe I Iewes that maried wyues of Asdod, of Ammon, and of Moab, 24 And their children spake halfe in the speach of Asdod, and could not speake in the Iewes language, but according to the language of the one people and of the other people. 25 Then I reproued them, and cursed them, and smote certayne men of them, and made them bare: and toke an oth of them by God, Ye shall not geue your daughters vnto their sonnes, neither shall ye take their daughters vnto your sonnes, or for your selues. 26 Dyd not Solomon the king of Israel sinne by these thinges? and yet among many heathen was there no king like him, which was deare vnto his God, & God made hym king ouer all Israel: and yet neuerthelesse outlandishe women caused him to sinne. 27 Shall we then obey vnto you to do al this great euyll, and to transgresse against our God, and marie straunge wyues? 28 And one of the children of Iehoiada the sonne of Eliasib the hye priest, was the sonne in law of Sanaballat the Horonite: but I chased him from me. 29 O my God, thinke thou vpon them that defile the presthod, and the couenaunt of the presthod and of the Leuites. 30 Thus clensed I them from all such as were outlandishe, and appoynted the courses of the priestes and Leuites, euery one in his office: 31 And to offer the wood at times appoynted, and the first fruites: Thinke thou vpon me O my God for the best.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Remember them, O my God,.... The priests, and punish them: because they have defiled the priesthood; by marrying strange wives, and rendering themselves unfit to officiate in it:

and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites; made with Levi, Aaron, and Phinehas, see Numbers 24:11, of the corruption of which, complaint is made, Malachi 2:4.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 29. Because they have defiled the priesthood — God, therefore, will remember their iniquities against them, and punish them for their transgressions. These words of Nehemiah are to be understood declaratively.
