Verse 26 is found in chapter 13 of Nehemiah. Nehemiah discovers that some leaders have permitted marriages that compromise the identity of the community, even within a priestly family. He confronts those responsible, recalls Solomon’s precedent, and acts to correct the situation. The book ends by insisting that the restoration of the city has meaning only if the faithfulness of the people is also protected.

Salomone, dissi io, re d’Israele, non peccò egli in questo, benchè fra molte nazioni non sia stato re pari a lui, e ch’egli fosse amato dall’Iddio suo, e che Iddio l’avesse costituito re sopra tutto Israele? E pur le donne straniere lo fecero peccare.
Porventura não pecou nisto Salomão, rei de Israel, não havendo entre muitas nações rei semelhante a ele, e sendo ele amado de seu Deus, e pondo-o Deus rei sobre todo o Israel? E contudo as mulheres estrangeiras o fizeram pecar.
