1 Kings 11:4-20

4And it came to pass when SolomonH8010 wasH1961 oldH2209, [that] his wivesH802 turnedH5186 away his heartH3824 after otherH312 1godsH430; and his heartH3824 wasH1961 not perfectH8003 with Jehovah his 2GodH430, as the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.

5And SolomonH8010 went after Ashtoreth the 3goddess of the Zidonians, and after MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.

6And SolomonH8010 did evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, and followed not fully Jehovah, as DavidH1732 his fatherH1.

7ThenH227 did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 a highH1116 placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645 the abominationH8251 of the Moabites, on the hillH2022 that is before JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432 the abominationH8251 of the children of AmmonH5983.

8And so he did for all his foreignH5237 wivesH802, who burned incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 to their 4godsH430.

9And Jehovah was angryH599 with SolomonH8010, because his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 away from Jehovah the 5GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who had appearedH7200 to him twice,

10and had commandedH6680 him concerning this thingH1697, not to go after otherH312 6godsH430; but he keptH8104 not what Jehovah had commandedH6680.

11And Jehovah saidH559 to SolomonH8010, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not keptH8104 my covenantH1285 and my statutesH2708 which I commandedH6680 thee, I will certainly rend the kingdomH4467 from thee, and will giveH5414 it to thy servantH5650:

12notwithstanding in thy daysH3117 I will not do it, for DavidH1732 thy father's sakeH4616; I will rend it out of the handH3027 of thy sonH1121;

13onlyH7535, I will not rend awayH7167 all the kingdomH4467: I will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121, for DavidH1732 my servant's sakeH4616, and for Jerusalem's sakeH4616 which I have chosenH977.

14And Jehovah stirred up an adversaryH7854 to SolomonH8010, HadadH1908 the EdomiteH130; he was of the king's seedH2233 in EdomH123.

15Now it came to pass when DavidH1732 wasH1961 in EdomH123, when JoabH3097 the captain of the hostH6635 had goneH5927 up to buryH6912 the slain, after he had smitten every maleH2145 in EdomH123

16(for JoabH3097 abode there sixH8337 monthsH2320 with all IsraelH3478, until he had cutH3772 off every maleH2145 in EdomH123),

17that HadadH1908 fledH1272, he and certain EdomitesH130 of his father's servantsH5650 with him, to goH935 into EgyptH4714, HadadH1908 being yet a littleH6996 child.

18And they aroseH6965 out of MidianH4080, and cameH935 to ParanH6290, and tookH3947 menH376 with them out of ParanH6290, and they cameH935 to EgyptH4714, to PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714; who gaveH5414 him a houseH1004, and appointed him victuals, and gaveH5414 him landH776.

19And HadadH1908 foundH4672 great favour in the sight of PharaohH6547, and he gaveH5414 him as wifeH802 the sisterH269 of his ownH5869 wifeH802, the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 the queen.

20And the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 boreH3205 him GenubathH1592 his sonH1121; and TahpenesH8472 broughtH3205 him up in Pharaoh's houseH1004; and GenubathH1592 wasH1961 in Pharaoh's householdH1004, among the sonsH1121 of PharaohH6547.
