Nehemiah 13
It amazes me how much the people had strayed that the priest at the temple would appoint a room in the temple courts for a friend of his who served one of the gods common to that area. He obviously had no concept of there being a single God apart from the many other false concepts of God.
I also like the way Nehemiah cites the example of Solomon who was favored of God in a very special way and who still was drawn away to idolotry by his marriages to women who were not Israelites.
