1 Kings 11

1NowH7227 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 strange womenH802, together with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547, womenH802 of the MoabitesH4125, AmmonitesH5984, EdomitesH130, Zidonians, and HittitesH2850; 2of the nationsH1471 concerning whichH834 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye shall notH3808 goH935 among them, neitherH3808 shall they comeH935 among youH834: for surelyH403 they will turnH5186 awayH5186 your heartH3824 afterH310 their godsH430: SolomonH8010 clave unto theseH1992 in loveH160. 3And he had sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802, princessesH8282, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370: and his wivesH802 turnedH5186 awayH5186 his heartH3820. 4For it cameH1961 to passH1961, when SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turnedH5186 awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was notH3808 perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 5For SolomonH8010 went afterH310 Ashtoreth the goddessH430 of the Zidonians, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984. 6And SolomonH8010 didH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and went notH3808 fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068, as didH6213 DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 7Then didH834 SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an highH1116 placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645 the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the mountH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432 the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. 8And soH3651 didH6213 he for allH3605 his strange wivesH802, whichH802 burntH6999 incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 unto their godsH430. 9And the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with SolomonH8010, becauseH3588 his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 awayH5186 from the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which had appearedH7200 unto him twiceH6471, 10and had commandedH6680 him concerning this thingH1697, that he should notH3808 go afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: but he keptH8104 notH3808 that whichH834 the LORDH3068 commandedH6680. 11Wherefore the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SolomonH8010, Forasmuch as this is doneH1961 of thee, and thou hast notH3808 keptH8104 my covenantH1285 and my statutesH2708, whichH834 I have commandedH6680 thee, I will surelyH5414 rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 from thee, and will giveH5414 it to thy servantH5650. 12Notwithstanding in thy daysH3117 I will notH3808 doH6213 it, for DavidH1732 thy father’sH1 sakeH4616: but I will rendH7167 it outH3027 of the handH3027 of thy sonH1121. 13Howbeit I will notH3808 rendH7167 awayH7167 allH3605 the kingdomH4467; but I will giveH5414 one tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121, for DavidH1732 my servant’sH5650 sakeH4616, and for Jerusalem’sH3389 sakeH4616 whichH834 I have chosenH977. 14And the LORDH3068 raisedH6965 upH6965 an adversaryH7854 unto SolomonH8010, HadadH1908 the EdomiteH130: he was of the king’sH4428 seedH2233 in EdomH123. 15For it cameH1961 to passH1961, when DavidH1732 was in EdomH123, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was goneH5927 upH5927 to buryH6912 the slainH5221, and had smittenH5221 everyH3605 maleH2145 in EdomH123; 16(for JoabH3097 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 remainedH3427 there sixH8337 monthsH2320, untilH5704 he had cutH3772 offH3772 everyH3605 maleH2145 in EdomH123;) 17that HadadH1908 fledH1272, he and certainH376 EdomitesH130 of his father’sH1 servantsH5650 with him, to goH935 intoH935 EgyptH4714; HadadH1908 being yet a littleH6996 childH5288. 18And they aroseH6965 outH413 of MidianH4080, and cameH935 to ParanH6290: and they tookH3947 menH376 with them outH413 of ParanH6290, and they cameH935 to EgyptH4714 unto PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714; whichH3899 gaveH5414 him an houseH1004, and appointedH5414 him victuals, and gaveH5414 him landH776. 19And HadadH1908 foundH4672 greatH3966 favour in the sightH5869 of PharaohH6547, soH5414 that he gaveH5414 him to wifeH802 the sisterH269 of his ownH5869 wifeH802, the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 the queenH1377, 20And the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 bare him GenubathH1592 his sonH1121, whom TahpenesH8472 weanedH1580 in Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004: and GenubathH1592 was in Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004 among the sonsH1121 of PharaohH6547. 21And when HadadH1908 heardH8085 in EgyptH4714 that DavidH1732 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and that JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was deadH4191, HadadH1908 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, LetH7971 meH413 depart, that I may goH7971 to mineH5973 ownH5973 countryH776. 22Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto him, But whatH4100 hast thou lackedH2638 with meH413, that, beholdH2005, thou seekest to goH7971 to thine ownH5973 countryH776? And he answeredH559, NothingH3808: howbeit letH7971 meH413 depart in anyH3588 wise. 23And GodH430 raisedH6965 upH6965 another adversaryH7854 unto him, RezonH7331 the sonH1121 of EliadaH450, whichH834 had fledH1272 from his lordH113 HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678: 24And he gatheredH6908 menH376 unto him, and becameH1961 captainH8269 over a troopH1416, when DavidH1732 slewH2026 them of Zobah: and they wentH376 to DamascusH1834, and dweltH3427 therein, and reignedH4427 in DamascusH1834. 25And he was an adversaryH7854 to IsraelH3478 allH3605 the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010, besideH5921 the mischief that HadadH1908 didH834: and he abhorredH6973 IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 over SyriaH758. 26And JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, an EphraimiteH673 of ZeredahH6868, a servantH5650 of SolomonH8010, whoseH1121 mother’sH517 nameH8034 was ZeruahH6871, a widowH490 womanH802, he also liftedH7311 upH7311 his handH3027 againstH4480 the kingH4428. 27And this was the causeH1697 that he liftedH7311 upH7311 his handH3027 againstH3027 the kingH4428: SolomonH8010 builtH1129 MilloH4407, and repaired the breachH6556 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 28And the manH376 JeroboamH3379 was a mightyH1368 manH376 of valour: and SolomonH8010 sawH7200 the youngH5288 manH376 that he was industrious, and he gaveH6213 him chargeH6485 over allH3605 the labour of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130. 29And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at that time, when JeroboamH3379 wentH3318 outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, that the prophetH5030 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 foundH4672 him in the wayH1870; nowH1961 AhijahH281 had clad himselfH1931 with a newH2319 garmentH8008; and they twoH8147 were aloneH905 in the fieldH7704. 30And AhijahH281 laid holdH8610 of the newH2319 garmentH8008 that was on him, and rent it in twelveH6240 piecesH7168. 31And he saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, TakeH3947 thee tenH6235 piecesH7168: for thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, BeholdH2005, I will rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 outH3027 of the handH3027 of SolomonH8010, and will giveH5414 tenH6235 tribesH7626 to thee: 32(but he shall have one tribeH7626, for my servantH5650 David’sH1732 sakeH4616, and for Jerusalem’sH3389 sakeH4616, the cityH5892 whichH834 I have chosenH977 outH3605 of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478:) 33becauseH3282 that they have forsaken meH3808, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddessH430 of the Zidonians, ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of MoabH4124, and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983; and they have notH3808 walkedH1980 in my waysH1870, to doH6213 that whichH834 is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and to keepH6213 my statutesH2708 and my judgmentsH4941, as didH6213 DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 34Howbeit I will notH3808 takeH3947 the wholeH3605 kingdomH4467 outH3605 of his handH3027: but I will makeH7896 him princeH5387 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH3117, for DavidH1732 my servant’sH5650 sakeH4616, whomH834 I choseH977, becauseH3588 he keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708: 35but I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 outH3027 of his son’sH1121 handH3027, and will giveH5414 it unto thee, evenH853 tenH6235 tribesH7626. 36And unto his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 one tribeH7626, that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may have a lampH5216 alway beforeH6440 meH5414 in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 whichH834 I have chosenH977 meH5414 to putH5414 my nameH8034 there. 37And I will takeH3947 thee, and thou shalt reignH4427 accordingH5921 to allH3605 that thy soulH5315 desireth, and shalt be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478. 38And it shall be, ifH518 thou wilt hearken unto allH3605 that I commandH6680 thee, and wilt walkH1980 in my waysH1870, and doH6213 that whichH834 is rightH3477 in mineH5973 eyesH5869, to keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, as DavidH1732 my servantH5650 didH6213; that I will be with thee, and will buildH1129 thee a sureH539 houseH1004, as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 unto thee. 39And I will for this afflictH6031 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732, but notH3808 for over. 40SolomonH8010 soughtH1245 therefore to killH4191 JeroboamH3379: but JeroboamH3379 aroseH6965, and fledH1272 intoH413 EgyptH4714, unto ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and was in EgyptH4714 untilH5704 the deathH4191 of SolomonH8010. 41Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010, and allH3605 that he didH6213, and his wisdomH2451, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010? 42And the time that SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 over allH3605 IsraelH3478 was fortyH705 yearsH8141. 43And SolomonH8010 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478.
