Commentary on Deuteronomy 7:3

Theological / Devotional

Marriages with them. Intimate association with idolaters as in the home would affect not only the individual but the nation (see Ex. 34:15, 16). Solomon violated this principle, with untold personal and national loss as a result (1 Kings 11:1). There is no happiness or safety in making alliances with those who neither love nor serve God (1 Cor. 6:14-17). The tragic experiences of Esau (Gen. 26:34, 35), Samson (Judges 14:1), and others are eloquent in their witness favoring the admonition to remain separate.
