1 Kings 11:1-13

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.
