BRIEF INSIGHT
THE CRUEL NESINIM
Rashi maintains that the prohibition for Nesinim to marry into Klal Yisrael is mid'Rabanan, and it was David ha'Melech who decreed that the Nesinim may not marry into Klal Yisrael (because he found them to be lacking the three basic attributes that mark a member of Klal Yisrael: merciful, modest, and kind). Tosfos asks that the Gemara in Yevamos says that the Nesinim are forbidden Min ha'Torah from marrying into Klal Yisrael. The Ran answers that Min ha'Torah only the Nesinim who were Megayer are forbidden, but their children are permitted to marry into Klal Yisrael. David ha'Melech decreed that even the children are prohibited.
QUICK HALACHAH
THE SEVEN NATIONS
A Ger from the Seven Nations is not forbidden Min ha'Torah from marrying into Klal Yisrael. It is well-known that the only ones who Megayer were the Giv'onim, and Yehoshua bin Nun decreed that they are forbidden to marry into Klal Yisrael, both the males and the females. He prohibited them only during the times of the Beis ha'Mikdash. David ha'Melech subsequently prohibited them forever, even after the Beis ha'Mikdash was destroyed. Why did David ha'Melech and his Beis Din prohibit them? He saw their brazenness and cruelty at the time that they sought to kill the seven sons of Shaul without showing any mercy. (Rambam, Hilchos Isurei Bi'ah 12:22-24)
