1 # But king <04428> Solomon <08010> loved <0157> (8804) many <07227> strange <05237> women <0802> , together with the daughter <01323> of Pharaoh <06547>, women of the Moabites <04125>, Ammonites <05984>, Edomites <0130>, Zidonians <06722>, and Hittites <02850>;
2 Of the nations <01471> concerning which the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8804) unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, Ye shall not go in <0935> (8799) to them, neither shall they come in <0935> (8799) unto you: for surely <0403> they will turn away <05186> (8686) your heart <03824> after <0310> their gods <0430>: Solomon <08010> clave <01692> (8804) unto these in love <0157> (8800).
3 And he had seven <07651> hundred <03967> wives <0802>, princesses <08282>, and three <07969> hundred <03967> concubines <06370>: and his wives <0802> turned away <05186> (8686) his heart <03820>.
4 For it came to pass, when <06256> Solomon <08010> was old <02209>, that his wives <0802> turned away <05186> (8689) his heart <03824> after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430>: and his heart <03824> was not perfect <08003> with the LORD <03068> his God <0430>, as was the heart <03824> of David <01732> his father <01>.
5 For Solomon <08010> went <03212> (8799) after <0310> Ashtoreth <06253> the goddess <0430> of the Zidonians <06722>, and after <0310> Milcom <04445> the abomination <08251> of the Ammonites <05984>.
6 And Solomon <08010> did <06213> (8799) evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and went not fully <04390> (8765) after <0310> the LORD <03068>, as did David <01732> his father <01>.
7 Then did Solomon <08010> build <01129> (8799) an high place <01116> for Chemosh <03645>, the abomination <08251> of Moab <04124>, in the hill <02022> that is before <06440> Jerusalem <03389>, and for Molech <04432>, the abomination <08251> of the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>.
8 And likewise did <06213> (8804) he for all his strange <05237> wives <0802>, which burnt incense <06999> (8688) and sacrificed <02076> (8764) unto their gods <0430>.
9 # And the LORD <03068> was angry <0599> (8691) with Solomon <08010>, because his heart <03824> was turned <05186> (8804) from the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, which had appeared <07200> (8738) unto him twice <06471>,
10 And had commanded <06680> (8765) him concerning this thing <01697>, that he should not go <03212> (8800) after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430>: but he kept <08104> (8804) not that which the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> (8765).
11 Wherefore the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Solomon <08010>, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept <08104> (8804) my covenant <01285> and my statutes <02708>, which I have commanded <06680> (8765) thee, I will surely <07167> (8800) rend <07167> (8799) the kingdom <04467> from thee, and will give <05414> (8804) it to thy servant <05650>.
12 Notwithstanding in thy days <03117> I will not do <06213> (8799) it for David <01732> thy father's <01> sake: but I will rend <07167> (8799) it out of the hand <03027> of thy son <01121>.
13 Howbeit <07535> I will not rend away <07167> (8799) all the kingdom <04467>; but will give <05414> (8799) one <0259> tribe <07626> to thy son <01121> for David <01732> my servant's <05650> sake, and for Jerusalem's <03389> sake which I have chosen <0977> (8804).
14 # And the LORD <03068> stirred up <06965> (8686) an adversary <07854> unto Solomon <08010>, Hadad <01908> the Edomite <0130>: he was of the king's <04428> seed <02233> in Edom <0123>.
15 For it came to pass, when David <01732> was in Edom <0123>, and Joab <03097> the captain <08269> of the host <06635> was gone up <05927> (8800) to bury <06912> (8763) the slain <02491>, after he had smitten <05221> (8686) every male <02145> in Edom <0123>;
16 (For six <08337> months <02320> did Joab <03097> remain <03427> (8804) there with all Israel <03478> , until he had cut off <03772> (8689) every male <02145> in Edom <0123>:)
17 That Hadad <0111> fled <01272> (8799), he and certain <0582> Edomites <0130> of his father's <01> servants <05650> with him, to go <0935> (8800) into Egypt <04714>; Hadad <01908> being yet a little <06996> child <05288>.
18 And they arose <06965> (8799) out of Midian <04080>, and came <0935> (8799) to Paran <06290>: and they took <03947> (8799) men <0582> with them out of Paran <06290>, and they came <0935> (8799) to Egypt <04714> , unto Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>; which gave <05414> (8799) him an house <01004>, and appointed <0559> (8804) him victuals <03899>, and gave <05414> (8804) him land <0776>.
19 And Hadad <01908> found <04672> (8799) great <03966> favour <02580> in the sight <05869> of Pharaoh <06547>, so that he gave <05414> (8799) him to wife <0802> the sister <0269> of his own wife <0802>, the sister <0269> of Tahpenes <08472> the queen <01377>.
20 And the sister <0269> of Tahpenes <08472> bare <03205> (8799) him Genubath <01592> his son <01121> , whom Tahpenes <08472> weaned <01580> (8799) in <08432> Pharaoh's <06547> house <01004>: and Genubath <01592> was in Pharaoh's <06547> household <01004> among <08432> the sons <01121> of Pharaoh <06547>.
21 And when Hadad <01908> heard <08085> (8804) in Egypt <04714> that David <01732> slept <07901> (8804) with his fathers <01>, and that Joab <03097> the captain <08269> of the host <06635> was dead <04191> (8804), Hadad <01908> said <0559> (8799) to Pharaoh <06547>, Let me depart <07971> (8761), that I may go <03212> (8799) to mine own country <0776>.
22 Then Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> (8799) unto him, But what hast thou lacked <02638> with me, that, behold, thou seekest <01245> (8764) to go <03212> (8800) to thine own country <0776>? And he answered <0559> (8799), Nothing: howbeit let me go <07971> (8762) in any wise <07971> (8763).
23 And God <0430> stirred him up <06965> (8686) another adversary <07854>, Rezon <07331> the son <01121> of Eliadah <0450>, which fled <01272> (8804) from his lord <0113> Hadadezer <01909> king <04428> of Zobah <06678>:
24 And he gathered <06908> (8799) men <0582> unto him, and became captain <08269> over a band <01416>, when David <01732> slew <02026> (8800) them of Zobah: and they went <03212> (8799) to Damascus <01834>, and dwelt <03427> (8799) therein, and reigned <04427> (8799) in Damascus <01834>.
25 And he was an adversary <07854> to Israel <03478> all the days <03117> of Solomon <08010>, beside the mischief <07451> that Hadad <01908> did: and he abhorred <06973> (8799) Israel <03478>, and reigned <04427> (8799) over Syria <0758>.
26 # And Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Nebat <05028>, an Ephrathite <0673> of Zereda <06868>, Solomon's <08010> servant <05650>, whose mother's <0517> name <08034> was Zeruah <06871>, a widow <0490> woman <0802>, even he lifted up <07311> (8686) his hand <03027> against the king <04428>.
27 And this was the cause <01697> that he lifted up <07311> (8689) his hand <03027> against the king <04428>: Solomon <08010> built <01129> (8804) Millo <04407>, and repaired <05462> (8804) the breaches <06556> of the city <05892> of David <01732> his father <01>.
28 And the man <0376> Jeroboam <03379> was a mighty man <01368> of valour <02428>: and Solomon <08010> seeing <07200> (8799) the young man <05288> that he was industrious <06213> (8802) <04399>, he made him ruler <06485> (8686) over all the charge <05447> of the house <01004> of Joseph <03130>.
29 And it came to pass at that time <06256> when Jeroboam <03379> went out <03318> (8804) of Jerusalem <03389>, that the prophet <05030> Ahijah <0281> the Shilonite <07888> found <04672> (8799) him in the way <01870>; and he had clad <03680> (8693) himself with a new <02319> garment <08008>; and they two <08147> were alone in the field <07704>:
30 And Ahijah <0281> caught <08610> (8799) the new <02319> garment <08008> that was on him, and rent <07167> (8799) it in twelve <08147> <06240> pieces <07168>:
31 And he said <0559> (8799) to Jeroboam <03379>, Take <03947> (8798) thee ten <06235> pieces <07168>: for thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, Behold, I will rend <07167> (8802) the kingdom <04467> out of the hand <03027> of Solomon <08010>, and will give <05414> (8804) ten <06235> tribes <07626> to thee:
32 (But he shall have one <0259> tribe <07626> for my servant <05650> David's <01732> sake, and for Jerusalem's <03389> sake, the city <05892> which I have chosen <0977> (8804) out of all the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>:)
33 Because that they have forsaken <05800> (8804) me, and have worshipped <07812> (8691) Ashtoreth <06253> the goddess <0430> of the Zidonians <06722>, Chemosh <03645> the god <0430> of the Moabites <04124>, and Milcom <04445> the god <0430> of the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>, and have not walked <01980> (8804) in my ways <01870>, to do <06213> (8800) that which is right <03477> in mine eyes <05869>, and to keep my statutes <02708> and my judgments <04941>, as did David <01732> his father <01>.
34 Howbeit I will not take <03947> (8799) the whole kingdom <04467> out of his hand <03027>: but I will make <07896> (8799) him prince <05387> all the days <03117> of his life <02416> for David <01732> my servant's <05650> sake, whom I chose <0977> (8804), because he kept <08104> (8804) my commandments <04687> and my statutes <02708>:
35 But I will take <03947> (8804) the kingdom <04410> out of his son's <01121> hand <03027>, and will give <05414> (8804) it unto thee, even ten <06235> tribes <07626>.
36 And unto his son <01121> will I give <05414> (8799) one <0259> tribe <07626>, that David <01732> my servant <05650> may have a light <05216> alway <03117> before <06440> me in Jerusalem <03389>, the city <05892> which I have chosen <0977> (8804) me to put <07760> (8800) my name <08034> there.
37 And I will take <03947> (8799) thee, and thou shalt reign <04427> (8804) according to all that thy soul <05315> desireth <0183> (8762), and shalt be king <04428> over Israel <03478>.
38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken <08085> (8799) unto all that I command <06680> (8762) thee, and wilt walk <01980> (8804) in my ways <01870>, and do <06213> (8804) that is right <03477> in my sight <05869>, to keep <08104> (8800) my statutes <02708> and my commandments <04687>, as David <01732> my servant <05650> did <06213> (8804) ; that I will be with thee, and build <01129> (8804) thee a sure <0539> (8737) house <01004>, as I built <01129> (8804) for David <01732>, and will give <05414> (8804) Israel <03478> unto thee.
39 And I will for this afflict <06031> (8762) the seed <02233> of David <01732>, but not for ever <03117>.
40 Solomon <08010> sought <01245> (8762) therefore to kill <04191> (8687) Jeroboam <03379>. And Jeroboam <03379> arose <06965> (8799), and fled <01272> (8799) into Egypt <04714>, unto Shishak <07895> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, and was in Egypt <04714> until the death <04194> of Solomon <08010>.
41 # And the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Solomon <08010>, and all that he did <06213> (8804), and his wisdom <02451>, are they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the acts <01697> of Solomon <08010>?
42 And the time <03117> that Solomon <08010> reigned <04427> (8804) in Jerusalem <03389> over all Israel <03478> was forty <0705> years <08141>.
43 And Solomon <08010> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>, and was buried <06912> (8735) in the city <05892> of David <01732> his father <01>: and Rehoboam <07346> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
