                      married  wives of    Joiada,  the  son

                      Ashdod, of Ammon,    of  Eliashib  the

                      [and] of Moab:       high      priest,

                      13:24   And their    [was]  son in law

                      children    spake    to  Sanballat the

                      half    in    the    Horonite:

                      speech of Ashdod,    therefore       I

                      and   could   not    chased  him  from

                      speak    in   the    me. 

                      Jews'   language,    13:29    Remember

                      but  according to    them,  O  my God,

                      the  language  of    because they have

                      each people.         defiled       the

                      13:25      And  I    priesthood,   and

                      contended    with    the  covenant  of

                      them,  and cursed    the   priesthood,

                      them,  and  smote    and     of    the

                      certain  of them,    Levites. 

                      and  plucked  off    13:30        Thus

                      their  hair,  and    cleansed  I  them

                      made  them  swear    from          all

                      by God, [saying],    strangers,    and

                      Ye shall not give    appointed     the
