1But king4428 Solomon8010 loved157 many7227 strange5237 women802, together with the daughter1323 of Pharaoh6547, women of the Moabites4125, Ammonites5984, Edomites130, Zidonians6722, and Hittites2850;
2Of the nations1471 concerning which the LORD3068 said559 unto the children1121 of Israel3478, Ye shall not go in935 to them, neither shall they come in935 unto you: for surely403 they will turn away5186 your heart3824 after310 their gods430: Solomon8010 clave1692 unto these in love157.
3And he had seven7651 hundred3967 wives802, princesses8282, and three7969 hundred3967 concubines6370: and his wives802 turned away5186 his heart3820.
4For it came to pass, when6256 Solomon8010 was old2209, that his wives802 turned away5186 his heart3824 after310 other312 gods430: and his heart3824 was not perfect8003 with the LORD3068 his God430, as was the heart3824 of David1732 his father1.
5For Solomon8010 went3212 after310 Ashtoreth6253 the goddess430 of the Zidonians6722, and after310 Milcom4445 the abomination8251 of the Ammonites5984.
6And Solomon8010 did6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, and went not fully4390 after310 the LORD3068, as did David1732 his father1.
7Then did Solomon8010 build1129 an high place1116 for Chemosh3645, the abomination8251 of Moab4124, in the hill2022 that is before6440 Jerusalem3389, and for Molech4432, the abomination8251 of the children1121 of Ammon5983.
8And likewise did6213 he for all his strange5237 wives802, which burnt incense6999 and sacrificed2076 unto their gods430.
9And the LORD3068 was angry599 with Solomon8010, because his heart3824 was turned5186 from the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478, which had appeared7200 unto him twice6471,
10And had commanded6680 him concerning this thing1697, that he should not go3212 after310 other312 gods430: but he kept8104 not that which the LORD3068 commanded6680.
11Wherefore the LORD3068 said559 unto Solomon8010, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept8104 my covenant1285 and my statutes2708, which I have commanded6680 thee, I will surely7167 rend7167 the kingdom4467 from thee, and will give5414 it to thy servant5650.
12Notwithstanding in thy days3117 I will not do6213 it for David1732 thy father's1 sake: but I will rend7167 it out of the hand3027 of thy son1121.
13Howbeit7535 I will not rend away7167 all the kingdom4467; but will give5414 one259 tribe7626 to thy son1121 for David1732 my servant's5650 sake, and for Jerusalem's3389 sake which I have chosen977.
14And the LORD3068 stirred up6965 an adversary7854 unto Solomon8010, Hadad1908 the Edomite130: he was of the king's4428 seed2233 in Edom123.
15For it came to pass, when David1732 was in Edom123, and Joab3097 the captain8269 of the host6635 was gone up5927 to bury6912 the slain2491, after he had smitten5221 every male2145 in Edom123;
16(For six8337 months2320 did Joab3097 remain3427 there with all Israel3478, until he had cut off3772 every male2145 in Edom123:)
17That Hadad111 fled1272, he and certain582 Edomites130 of his father's1 servants5650 with him, to go935 into Egypt4714; Hadad1908 being yet a little6996 child5288.
18And they arose6965 out of Midian4080, and came935 to Paran6290: and they took3947 men582 with them out of Paran6290, and they came935 to Egypt4714, unto Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt4714; which gave5414 him an house1004, and appointed559 him victuals3899, and gave5414 him land776.
19And Hadad1908 found4672 great3966 favour2580 in the sight5869 of Pharaoh6547, so that he gave5414 him to wife802 the sister269 of his own wife802, the sister269 of Tahpenes8472 the queen1377.
20And the sister269 of Tahpenes8472 bare3205 him Genubath1592 his son1121, whom Tahpenes8472 weaned1580 in8432 Pharaoh's6547 house1004: and Genubath1592 was in Pharaoh's6547 household1004 among8432 the sons1121 of Pharaoh6547.
21And when Hadad1908 heard8085 in Egypt4714 that David1732 slept7901 with his fathers1, and that Joab3097 the captain8269 of the host6635 was dead4191, Hadad1908 said559 to Pharaoh6547, Let me depart7971, that I may go3212 to mine own country776.
22Then Pharaoh6547 said559 unto him, But what hast thou lacked2638 with me, that, behold, thou seekest1245 to go3212 to thine own country776? And he answered559, Nothing: howbeit let me go7971 in any wise7971.
23And God430 stirred him up6965 another adversary7854, Rezon7331 the son1121 of Eliadah450, which fled1272 from his lord113 Hadadezer1909 king4428 of Zobah6678:
24And he gathered6908 men582 unto him, and became captain8269 over a band1416, when David1732 slew2026 them of Zobah: and they went3212 to Damascus1834, and dwelt3427 therein, and reigned4427 in Damascus1834.
25And he was an adversary7854 to Israel3478 all the days3117 of Solomon8010, beside the mischief7451 that Hadad1908 did: and he abhorred6973 Israel3478, and reigned4427 over Syria758.
26And Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat5028, an Ephrathite673 of Zereda6868, Solomon's8010 servant5650, whose mother's517 name8034 was Zeruah6871, a widow490 woman802, even he lifted up7311 his hand3027 against the king4428.
27And this was the cause1697 that he lifted up7311 his hand3027 against the king4428: Solomon8010 built1129 Millo4407, and repaired5462 the breaches6556 of the city5892 of David1732 his father1.
28And the man376 Jeroboam3379 was a mighty man1368 of valour2428: and Solomon8010 seeing7200 the young man5288 that he was industrious6213 4399, he made him ruler6485 over all the charge5447 of the house1004 of Joseph3130.
29And it came to pass at that time6256 when Jeroboam3379 went out3318 of Jerusalem3389, that the prophet5030 Ahijah281 the Shilonite7888 found4672 him in the way1870; and he had clad3680 himself with a new2319 garment8008; and they two8147 were alone in the field7704:
30And Ahijah281 caught8610 the new2319 garment8008 that was on him, and rent7167 it in twelve8147 6240 pieces7168:
31And he said559 to Jeroboam3379, Take3947 thee ten6235 pieces7168: for thus saith559 the LORD3068, the God430 of Israel3478, Behold, I will rend7167 the kingdom4467 out of the hand3027 of Solomon8010, and will give5414 ten6235 tribes7626 to thee:
32(But he shall have one259 tribe7626 for my servant5650 David's1732 sake, and for Jerusalem's3389 sake, the city5892 which I have chosen977 out of all the tribes7626 of Israel3478:)
33Because that they have forsaken5800 me, and have worshipped7812 Ashtoreth6253 the goddess430 of the Zidonians6722, Chemosh3645 the god430 of the Moabites4124, and Milcom4445 the god430 of the children1121 of Ammon5983, and have not walked1980 in my ways1870, to do6213 that which is right3477 in mine eyes5869, and to keep my statutes2708 and my judgments4941, as did David1732 his father1.
34Howbeit I will not take3947 the whole kingdom4467 out of his hand3027: but I will make7896 him prince5387 all the days3117 of his life2416 for David1732 my servant's5650 sake, whom I chose977, because he kept8104 my commandments4687 and my statutes2708:
35But I will take3947 the kingdom4410 out of his son's1121 hand3027, and will give5414 it unto thee, even ten6235 tribes7626.
36And unto his son1121 will I give5414 one259 tribe7626, that David1732 my servant5650 may have a light5216 alway3117 before6440 me in Jerusalem3389, the city5892 which I have chosen977 me to put7760 my name8034 there.
37And I will take3947 thee, and thou shalt reign4427 according to all that thy soul5315 desireth183, and shalt be king4428 over Israel3478.
38And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken8085 unto all that I command6680 thee, and wilt walk1980 in my ways1870, and do6213 that is right3477 in my sight5869, to keep8104 my statutes2708 and my commandments4687, as David1732 my servant5650 did6213; that I will be with thee, and build1129 thee a sure539 house1004, as I built1129 for David1732, and will give5414 Israel3478 unto thee.
39And I will for this afflict6031 the seed2233 of David1732, but not for ever3117.
40Solomon8010 sought1245 therefore to kill4191 Jeroboam3379. And Jeroboam3379 arose6965, and fled1272 into Egypt4714, unto Shishak7895 king4428 of Egypt4714, and was in Egypt4714 until the death4194 of Solomon8010.
41And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Solomon8010, and all that he did6213, and his wisdom2451, are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the acts1697 of Solomon8010?
42And the time3117 that Solomon8010 reigned4427 in Jerusalem3389 over all Israel3478 was forty705 years8141.
43And Solomon8010 slept7901 with his fathers1, and was buried6912 in the city5892 of David1732 his father1: and Rehoboam7346 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.
