The Book of 2 Samuel Chapters 09 & 10 ESV Version.

Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of 2 Samuel. This is episode #05 chapters 09 & 10. 2 Samuel Chapter 9, The leaders told Ezra that many of the people of Israel did not keep themselves pure by separating from neighboring peoples and their horrible practices, like the ones from the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Moabites, Jebusites, Ammonites, and Egyptians. Some had even married their daughters and have combined the sacred race with other peoples who are around them. 2 Samuel Chapter 10, When Ezra was confessing and praying to God, many Israelites had gathered around him. They also wept with Ezra. Shekaniah (Jehiel’s son) said it was time to make a covenant with God, to banish the foreign women they had married and their children. It was to be done in accordance to the law.
