1
But kingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 strangeH5237 women,H802 together with the daughterH1323 of Pharaoh,H6547 women of the Moabites,H4125 Ammonites,H5984 Edomites,H130 Zidonians,H6722 and Hittites:H2850
2
Of the nationsH1471 concerning whichH834 the LORDH3068 saidH559 to the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 You shall not goH935 in to them, neitherH3808 shall they comeH935 in to you: for surelyH403 they will turnH5186 away your heartH3824 afterH310 their gods:H430 SolomonH8010 joinedH1692 to theseH1992 in love.H160
3
And he hadH1961 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wives,H802 princesses,H8282 and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubines:H6370 and his wivesH802 turnedH5186 away his heart.H3820
4
For it cameH1961 to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was old,H2209 that his wivesH802 turnedH5186 away his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 gods:H430 and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his God,H430 as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his father.H1
5
For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6252 the goddessH430 of the Zidonians,H6722 and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the Ammonites.H5984
6
And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORD,H3068 and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORD,H3068 as did DavidH1732 his father.H1
7
Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an highH1116 place for Chemosh,H3645 the abominationH8251 of Moab,H4124 in the hillH2022 that is beforeH5921 H6440 Jerusalem,H3389 and for Molech,H4432 the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of Ammon.H5983
8
And likewiseH3651 didH6213 he for allH3605 his strangeH5237 wives,H802 which burntH6999 incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 to their gods.H430
9
And the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with Solomon,H8010 becauseH3588 his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 from the LORDH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 which had appearedH7200 to him twice,H6471
10
And had commandedH6680 him concerningH5921 thisH2088 thing,H1697 that he should not goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 gods:H430 but he keptH8104 not that whichH834 the LORDH3068 commanded.H6680
11
Why the LORDH3068 saidH559 to Solomon,H8010 For as muchH3282 H834 as thisH2063 is done of you, and you have not keptH8104 my covenantH1285 and my statutes,H2708 whichH834 I have commandedH6680 you, I will surely rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 from you, and will giveH5414 it to your servant.H5650
12
NotwithstandingH389 in your daysH3117 I will not doH6213 it for DavidH1732 your father'sH1 sake:H4616 but I will rendH7167 it out of the handH3027 of your son.H1121
13
However,H7535 I will not rendH7167 away allH3605 the kingdom;H4467 but will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to your sonH1121 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake,H4616 and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sakeH4616 whichH834 I have chosen.H977
14
And the LORDH3068 stirredH6965 up an adversaryH7854 to Solomon,H8010 HadadH1908 the Edomite:H130 he was of the king'sH4428 seedH2233 in Edom.H123
15
For it cameH1961 to pass, when DavidH1732 was in Edom,H123 and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was goneH5927 up to buryH6912 the slain,H2491 after he had smittenH5221 everyH3605 maleH2145 in Edom;H123
16
(For sixH8337 monthsH2320 did JoabH3097 remainH3427 thereH8033 with allH3605 Israel,H3478 untilH5704 he had cutH3772 off everyH3605 maleH2145 in Edom:H123)
17
That HadadH1908 fled,H1272 he and certainH582 Edomites of his father'sH1 servantsH5650 with him, to goH935 into Egypt;H4714 HadadH1908 being yet a littleH6996 child.H5288
18
And they aroseH6965 out of Midian,H4080 and cameH935 to Paran:H6290 and they tookH3947 menH582 with them out of Paran,H6290 and they cameH935 to Egypt,H4714 to PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of Egypt;H4714 which gaveH5414 him an house,H1004 and appointedH559 him victuals,H3899 and gaveH5414 him land.H776
19
And HadadH1908 foundH4672 greatH3966 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of Pharaoh,H6547 so that he gaveH5414 him to wifeH802 the sisterH269 of his own wife,H802 the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 the queen.H1377
20
And the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 boreH3205 him GenubathH1592 his son,H1121 whom TahpenesH8472 weanedH1580 in Pharaoh'sH6547 house:H1004 and GenubathH1592 was in Pharaoh'sH6547 householdH1004 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of Pharaoh.H6547
21
And when HadadH1908 heardH8085 in EgyptH4714 that DavidH1732 sleptH7901 with his fathers,H1 and that JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was dead,H4191 HadadH1908 saidH559 to Pharaoh,H6547 Let me depart,H7971 that I may goH3212 to my own country.H776
22
Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 to him, But whatH4100 have you lackedH2638 with me, that, behold,H2009 you seekH1245 to goH3212 to your own country?H776 And he answered,H559 Nothing:H3808 however, let me goH7971 in any wise.
23
And GodH430 stirredH6965 him up another adversary,H7854 RezonH7331 the sonH1121 of Eliadah,H450 whichH834 fledH1272 from his lordH113 HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of Zobah:H6678
24
And he gatheredH6908 menH582 to him, and becameH1961 captainH8269 over a band,H1416 when DavidH1732 slewH2026 them of Zobah: and they wentH3212 to Damascus,H1834 and dwelledH3427 therein, and reignedH4427 in Damascus.H1834
25
And he was an adversaryH7854 to IsraelH3478 allH3605 the daysH3117 of Solomon,H8010 besideH854 the mischiefH7451 that HadadH1908 did: and he abhorredH6973 Israel,H3478 and reignedH4427 overH5921 Syria.H758
26
And JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of Nebat,H5028 an EphrathiteH673 of Zereda,H6868 Solomon'sH8010 servant,H5650 whose mother'sH517 nameH8034 was Zeruah,H6871 a widowH490 woman,H802 even he liftedH7311 up his handH3027 against the king.H4428
27
And thisH2088 was the causeH1697 that he liftedH7311 up his handH3027 against the king:H4428 SolomonH8010 builtH1129 Millo,H4407 and repairedH5462 the breachesH6556 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his father.H1
28
And the manH376 JeroboamH3379 was a mightyH1368 man of valor:H2428 and SolomonH8010 seeingH7200 the youngH5288 man that he was industrious,H6213 H4399 he madeH5414 him rulerH6485 over allH3605 the chargeH5447 of the houseH1004 of Joseph.H3130
29
And it cameH1961 to pass at that timeH6256 when JeroboamH3379 wentH3318 out of Jerusalem,H3389 that the prophetH5030 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 foundH4672 him in the way;H1870 and he had cladH3680 himselfH1931 with a newH2319 garment;H8008 and they twoH8147 were aloneH905 in the field:H7704
30
And AhijahH281 caughtH8610 the newH2319 garmentH8008 that was onH5921 him, and rentH7167 it in twelveH8147 H6240 pieces:H7168
31
And he saidH559 to Jeroboam,H3379 TakeH3947 you tenH6235 pieces:H7168 for thusH3541 saidH559 the LORD,H3068 the GodH430 of Israel,H3478 Behold,H2005 I will rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of the handH3027 of Solomon,H8010 and will giveH5414 tenH6235 tribesH7626 to you:
32
(But he shall haveH1961 oneH259 tribeH7626 for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake,H4616 and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake,H4616 the cityH5892 whichH834 I have chosenH977 out of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of Israel:H3478)
33
BecauseH3282 H834 that they have forsakenH5800 me, and have worshippedH7812 AshtorethH6252 the goddessH430 of the Zidonians,H6722 ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of the Moabites,H4124 and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the childrenH1121 of Ammon,H5983 and have not walkedH1980 in my ways,H1870 to doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in my eyes,H5869 and to keep my statutesH2708 and my judgments,H4941 as did DavidH1732 his father.H1
34
However, I will not takeH3947 the wholeH854 H3605 kingdomH4467 out of his hand:H3027 but I will make him princeH5387 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416 for David my servant'sH5650 sake,H4616 whomH834 I chose,H977 becauseH834 he keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutes:H2708
35
But I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 out of his son'sH1121 hand,H3027 and will giveH5414 it to you, even tenH6235 tribes.H7626
36
And to his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 oneH259 tribe,H7626 that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may haveH1961 a lightH5216 alwaysH3605 H3117 beforeH6440 me in Jerusalem,H3389 the cityH5892 whichH834 I have chosenH977 me to putH7760 my nameH8034 there.H8033
37
And I will takeH3947 you, and you shall reignH4427 according to allH3605 that your soulH5315 desires,H8378 and shall be kingH4428 overH5921 Israel.H3478
38
And it shall be, ifH518 you will listenH8085 to allH3605 that I commandH6680 you, and will walkH1980 in my ways,H1870 and doH6213 that is rightH3477 in my sight,H5869 to keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my commandments,H4687 as DavidH1732 my servantH5650 did;H6213 that I will be with you, and buildH1129 you a sureH539 house,H1004 as I builtH1129 for David,H1732 and will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 to you.
39
And I will for thisH2063 afflictH6031 the seedH2233 of David,H1732 but not for ever.H3605 H3117
40
SolomonH8010 soughtH1245 therefore to killH4191 Jeroboam.H3379 And JeroboamH3379 arose,H6965 and fledH1272 into Egypt,H4714 to ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of Egypt,H4714 and was in EgyptH4714 untilH5704 the deathH4194 of Solomon.H8010
41
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Solomon,H8010 and allH3605 that he did,H6213 and his wisdom,H2451 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the actsH1697 of Solomon?H8010
42
And the timeH3117 that SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 overH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478 was fortyH705 years.H8141
43
And SolomonH8010 sleptH7901 with his fathers,H1 and was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his father:H1 and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
