1 Kings 11:4-20

4For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and 1his heart was not 2wholly devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 5For Solomon went after 3Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and after 45Milcom the detestable idol of the Ammonites. 6Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not follow the Lord fully, as David his father had done. 7Then Solomon built a high place for 6Chemosh the detestable idol of Moab, on the mountain which is 7east of Jerusalem, and for 8Molech the detestable idol of the sons of Ammon. 8Thus also he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9Now 9the Lord was angry with Solomon 10because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, 11who had appeared to him twice, 10and 12had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not observe what the Lord had commanded. 11So the Lord said to Solomon, “Because 13you have done this, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, 14I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant. 12Nevertheless I will not do it in your days for the sake of your father David, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13However, 15I will not tear away all the kingdom, but 16I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and 17for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.”

14Then the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the 18royal line in Edom. 15For it came about, 19when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had 20struck down every male in Edom 16(for Joab and all Israel stayed there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom), 17that Hadad fled 21to Egypt, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, while Hadad was a young boy. 18They arose from Midian and came to 22Paran; and they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and assigned him food and gave him land. 19Now Hadad found great favor 23before Pharaoh, so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. 20The sister of Tahpenes bore his son Genubath, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh.
