But king <H4428> Solomon <H8010> loved <H0157> many <H7227> strange <H5237> women, <H0802> together with the daughter <H1323> of Pharaoh, <H6547> women of the Moabites, <H4125> Ammonites, <H5984> Edomites, <H0130> Zidonians, <H6722> [and] Hittites; <H2850>
2
Of the nations <H1471> [concerning] which the LORD <H3068> said <H0559> unto the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> Ye shall not go in <H0935> to them, neither shall they come in <H0935> unto you: [for] surely <H0403> they will turn away <H5186> your heart <H3824> after <H0310> their gods: <H0430> Solomon <H8010> clave <H1692> unto these in love. <H0157>
3
And he had seven <H7651> hundred <H3967> wives, <H0802> princesses, <H8282> and three <H7969> hundred <H3967> concubines: <H6370> and his wives <H0802> turned away <H5186> his heart. <H3820>
4
For it came to pass, when <H6256> Solomon <H8010> was old, <H2209> [that] his wives <H0802> turned away <H5186> his heart <H3824> after <H0310> other <H0312> gods: <H0430> and his heart <H3824> was not perfect <H8003> with the LORD <H3068> his God, <H0430> as [was] the heart <H3824> of David <H1732> his father. <H0001>
5
For Solomon <H8010> went <H3212> after <H0310> Ashtoreth <H6253> the goddess <H0430> of the Zidonians, <H6722> and after <H0310> Milcom <H4445> the abomination <H8251> of the Ammonites. <H5984>
6
And Solomon <H8010> did <H6213> evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> and went not fully <H4390> after <H0310> the LORD, <H3068> as [did] David <H1732> his father. <H0001>
7
Then did Solomon <H8010> build <H1129> an high place <H1116> for Chemosh, <H3645> the abomination <H8251> of Moab, <H4124> in the hill <H2022> that [is] before <H6440> Jerusalem, <H3389> and for Molech, <H4432> the abomination <H8251> of the children <H1121> of Ammon. <H5983>
8
And likewise did <H6213> he for all his strange <H5237> wives, <H0802> which burnt incense <H6999> and sacrificed <H2076> unto their gods. <H0430>
9
And the LORD <H3068> was angry <H0599> with Solomon, <H8010> because his heart <H3824> was turned <H5186> from the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> which had appeared <H7200> unto him twice, <H6471>
10
And had commanded <H6680> him concerning this thing, <H1697> that he should not go <H3212> after <H0310> other <H0312> gods: <H0430> but he kept <H8104> not that which the LORD <H3068> commanded. <H6680>
11
Wherefore the LORD <H3068> said <H0559> unto Solomon, <H8010> Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept <H8104> my covenant <H1285> and my statutes, <H2708> which I have commanded <H6680> thee, I will surely <H7167> rend <H7167> the kingdom <H4467> from thee, and will give <H5414> it to thy servant. <H5650>
12
Notwithstanding in thy days <H3117> I will not do <H6213> it for David <H1732> thy father's <H0001> sake: [but] I will rend <H7167> it out of the hand <H3027> of thy son. <H1121>
13
Howbeit <H7535> I will not rend <H7167> away all the kingdom; <H4467> [but] will give <H5414> one <H0259> tribe <H7626> to thy son <H1121> for David <H1732> my servant's <H5650> sake, and for Jerusalem's <H3389> sake which I have chosen. <H0977>
14
And the LORD <H3068> stirred up <H6965> an adversary <H7854> unto Solomon, <H8010> Hadad <H1908> the Edomite: <H0130> he [was] of the king's <H4428> seed <H2233> in Edom. <H0123>
15
For it came to pass, when David <H1732> was in Edom, <H0123> and Joab <H3097> the captain <H8269> of the host <H6635> was gone up <H5927> to bury <H6912> the slain, <H2491> after he had smitten <H5221> every male <H2145> in Edom; <H0123>
16
(For six <H8337> months <H2320> did Joab <H3097> remain <H3427> there with all Israel, <H3478> until he had cut off <H3772> every male <H2145> in Edom:) <H0123>
17
That Hadad <H0111> fled, <H1272> he and certain <H0582> Edomites <H0130> of his father's <H0001> servants <H5650> with him, to go into <H0935> Egypt; <H4714> Hadad <H1908> [being] yet a little <H6996> child. <H5288>
18
And they arose <H6965> out of Midian, <H4080> and came <H0935> to Paran: <H6290> and they took <H3947> men <H0582> with them out of Paran, <H6290> and they came <H0935> to Egypt, <H4714> unto Pharaoh <H6547> king <H4428> of Egypt; <H4714> which gave <H5414> him an house, <H1004> and appointed <H0559> him victuals, <H3899> and gave <H5414> him land. <H0776>
19
And Hadad <H1908> found <H4672> great <H3966> favour <H2580> in the sight <H5869> of Pharaoh, <H6547> so that he gave <H5414> him to wife <H0802> the sister <H0269> of his own wife, <H0802> the sister <H0269> of Tahpenes <H8472> the queen. <H1377>
20
And the sister <H0269> of Tahpenes <H8472> bare <H3205> him Genubath <H1592> his son, <H1121> whom Tahpenes <H8472> weaned <H1580> in <H8432> Pharaoh's <H6547> house: <H1004> and Genubath <H1592> was in Pharaoh's <H6547> household <H1004> among <H8432> the sons <H1121> of Pharaoh. <H6547>
21
And when Hadad <H1908> heard <H8085> in Egypt <H4714> that David <H1732> slept <H7901> with his fathers, <H0001> and that Joab <H3097> the captain <H8269> of the host <H6635> was dead, <H4191> Hadad <H1908> said <H0559> to Pharaoh, <H6547> Let me depart, <H7971> that I may go <H3212> to mine own country. <H0776>
22
Then Pharaoh <H6547> said <H0559> unto him, But what hast thou lacked <H2638> with me, that, behold, thou seekest <H1245> to go <H3212> to thine own country? <H0776> And he answered, <H0559> Nothing: howbeit let me go <H7971> in any wise. <H7971>
23
And God <H0430> stirred him up <H6965> [another] adversary, <H7854> Rezon <H7331> the son <H1121> of Eliadah, <H0450> which fled <H1272> from his lord <H0113> Hadadezer <H1909> king <H4428> of Zobah: <H6678>
24
And he gathered <H6908> men <H0582> unto him, and became captain <H8269> over a band, <H1416> when David <H1732> slew <H2026> them [of Zobah]: and they went <H3212> to Damascus, <H1834> and dwelt <H3427> therein, and reigned <H4427> in Damascus. <H1834>
25
And he was an adversary <H7854> to Israel <H3478> all the days <H3117> of Solomon, <H8010> beside the mischief <H7451> that Hadad <H1908> [did]: and he abhorred <H6973> Israel, <H3478> and reigned <H4427> over Syria. <H0758>
26
And Jeroboam <H3379> the son <H1121> of Nebat, <H5028> an Ephrathite <H0673> of Zereda, <H6868> Solomon's <H8010> servant, <H5650> whose mother's <H0517> name <H8034> [was] Zeruah, <H6871> a widow <H0490> woman, <H0802> even he lifted up <H7311> [his] hand <H3027> against the king. <H4428>
27
And this [was] the cause <H1697> that he lifted up <H7311> [his] hand <H3027> against the king: <H4428> Solomon <H8010> built <H1129> Millo, <H4407> [and] repaired <H5462> the breaches <H6556> of the city <H5892> of David <H1732> his father. <H0001>
28
And the man <H0376> Jeroboam <H3379> [was] a mighty <H1368> man of valour: <H2428> and Solomon <H8010> seeing <H7200> the young man <H5288> that he was industrious, <H6213> <H4399> he made him ruler <H6485> over all the charge <H5447> of the house <H1004> of Joseph. <H3130>
29
And it came to pass at that time <H6256> when Jeroboam <H3379> went out <H3318> of Jerusalem, <H3389> that the prophet <H5030> Ahijah <H0281> the Shilonite <H7888> found <H4672> him in the way; <H1870> and he had clad <H3680> himself with a new <H2319> garment; <H8008> and they two <H8147> [were] alone in the field: <H7704>
30
And Ahijah <H0281> caught <H8610> the new <H2319> garment <H8008> that [was] on him, and rent <H7167> it [in] twelve <H8147> <H6240> pieces: <H7168>
31
And he said <H0559> to Jeroboam, <H3379> Take <H3947> thee ten <H6235> pieces: <H7168> for thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> the God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> Behold, I will rend <H7167> the kingdom <H4467> out of the hand <H3027> of Solomon, <H8010> and will give <H5414> ten <H6235> tribes <H7626> to thee:
32
(But he shall have one <H0259> tribe <H7626> for my servant <H5650> David's <H1732> sake, and for Jerusalem's <H3389> sake, the city <H5892> which I have chosen <H0977> out of all the tribes <H7626> of Israel:) <H3478>
33
Because that they have forsaken <H5800> me, and have worshipped <H7812> Ashtoreth <H6253> the goddess <H0430> of the Zidonians, <H6722> Chemosh <H3645> the god <H0430> of the Moabites, <H4124> and Milcom <H4445> the god <H0430> of the children <H1121> of Ammon, <H5983> and have not walked <H1980> in my ways, <H1870> to do <H6213> [that which is] right <H3477> in mine eyes, <H5869> and [to keep] my statutes <H2708> and my judgments, <H4941> as [did] David <H1732> his father. <H0001>
34
Howbeit I will not take <H3947> the whole kingdom <H4467> out of his hand: <H3027> but I will make <H7896> him prince <H5387> all the days <H3117> of his life <H2416> for David <H1732> my servant's <H5650> sake, whom I chose, <H0977> because he kept <H8104> my commandments <H4687> and my statutes: <H2708>
35
But I will take <H3947> the kingdom <H4410> out of his son's <H1121> hand, <H3027> and will give <H5414> it unto thee, [even] ten <H6235> tribes. <H7626>
36
And unto his son <H1121> will I give <H5414> one <H0259> tribe, <H7626> that David <H1732> my servant <H5650> may have a light <H5216> alway <H3605> <H3117> before <H6440> me in Jerusalem, <H3389> the city <H5892> which I have chosen <H0977> me to put <H7760> my name <H8034> there.
37
And I will take <H3947> thee, and thou shalt reign <H4427> according to all that thy soul <H5315> desireth, <H0183> and shalt be king <H4428> over Israel. <H3478>
38
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken <H8085> unto all that I command <H6680> thee, and wilt walk <H1980> in my ways, <H1870> and do <H6213> [that is] right <H3477> in my sight, <H5869> to keep <H8104> my statutes <H2708> and my commandments, <H4687> as David <H1732> my servant <H5650> did; <H6213> that I will be with thee, and build <H1129> thee a sure <H0539> house, <H1004> as I built <H1129> for David, <H1732> and will give <H5414> Israel <H3478> unto thee.
39
And I will for this afflict <H6031> the seed <H2233> of David, <H1732> but not for ever. <H3605> <H3117>
40
Solomon <H8010> sought <H1245> therefore to kill <H4191> Jeroboam. <H3379> And Jeroboam <H3379> arose, <H6965> and fled <H1272> into Egypt, <H4714> unto Shishak <H7895> king <H4428> of Egypt, <H4714> and was in Egypt <H4714> until the death <H4194> of Solomon. <H8010>
41
And the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Solomon, <H8010> and all that he did, <H6213> and his wisdom, <H2451> [are] they not written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of the acts <H1697> of Solomon? <H8010>
42
And the time <H3117> that Solomon <H8010> reigned <H4427> in Jerusalem <H3389> over all Israel <H3478> [was] forty <H0705> years. <H8141>
43
And Solomon <H8010> slept <H7901> with his fathers, <H0001> and was buried <H6912> in the city <H5892> of David <H1732> his father: <H0001> and Rehoboam <H7346> his son <H1121> reigned <H4427> in his stead.
