Athaliah, a daughter of evil King Ahab (and a daughter of Jezebel), almost succeeded in wiping out the Royal Line of King David - the line of Christ, Himself. But God through His providence saved one son through a priest, Jehoida - a real hero for the LORD.
King Jehoshaphat had his son marry Athaliah. This royal marriage between children of the kings of Israel and Judah was done to keep peace between the kingdoms. However, this ungodly union almost led to the demise of the line of Christ. Again, the Bible warns us about the possible consequences of being unequally yoked - this consequence was generations later and almost affected all of humanity.
The people of God are called to be godly - an aspect of godliness is to be equally yoked with other godly people of God.
