²³In those days I also saw the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab;
²⁴and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people.
²⁵I contended with them, cursed them, struck certain of them, plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.
²⁶Didn’t Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin.
²⁷Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?”
²⁸One of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I chased him from me.
²⁹Remember them, my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.

Ezra 10:6 calls the room that Ezra went into “the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib”. Nehemiah 12:10–11 says that Eliashib became the father of Joiada, Joiada of Jonathan, and Jonathan of Jaddua; 12:22 names the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua; and 12:23 names “Johanan the son of Eliashib”. Both editions write the three names differently: the Korean Revised Version reads 여호하난, 요나단 and 요하난, and WEB Jehohanan, Jonathan, and Johanan. The text does not say whether the Jehohanan of Ezra 10:6 is the Johanan of Nehemiah 12:23, whether this Johanan is the Jonathan of 12:11, whom 12:10–11 makes Eliashib’s grandson, or whether the Eliashib of Ezra 10:6 is the Eliashib of Nehemiah 12:10–23. This collection records the three apart under their own names, and decides none of this.
