1 Kings 11:4-20

4And it came to pass when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other 1gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his 2God, as the heart of David his father.

5And Solomon went after Ashtoreth the 3goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

6And Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed not fully Jehovah, as David his father.

7Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, on the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

8And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their 4gods.

9And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah the 5God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

10and had commanded him concerning this thing, not to go after other 6gods; but he kept not what Jehovah had commanded.

11And Jehovah said to Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I commanded thee, I will certainly rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant:

12notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake; I will rend it out of the hand of thy son;

13only, I will not rend away all the kingdom: I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

14And Jehovah stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the king's seed in Edom.

15Now it came to pass when David was in Edom, when Joab the captain of the host had gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom

16(for Joab abode there six months with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom),

17that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.

18And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran, and took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt; who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.

19And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, and he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

20And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son; and Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household, among the sons of Pharaoh.
