1 Kings 11:4-20

4For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 5For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.1 6And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1.2 7Then SolomonH8010 builtH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. 8And likewise didH6213 he for all his foreignH5237 wivesH802, who burnt incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 to their godsH430.

9And the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with SolomonH8010, because his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 from the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who had appearedH7200 to him twiceH6471, 10And had commandedH6680 him concerning this thingH1697, that he should not goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: but he keptH8104 not that which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680. 11Therefore the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not keptH8104 my covenantH1285 and my statutesH2708, which I have commandedH6680 thee, I will surelyH7167 rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 away from thee, and will giveH5414 it to thy servantH5650.3 12However in thy daysH3117 I will not doH6213 it for DavidH1732 thy father’sH1 sake: but I will rendH7167 it out of the handH3027 of thy sonH1121. 13YetH7535 I will not rend awayH7167 all the kingdomH4467; but will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121 for DavidH1732 my servant’sH5650 sake, and for Jerusalem’sH3389 sake which I have chosenH977.

14And the LORDH3068 stirred upH6965 an adversaryH7854 to SolomonH8010, HadadH1908 the EdomiteH130: he was of the king’sH4428 seedH2233 in EdomH123. 15For it came to pass, when DavidH1732 was in EdomH123, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 had gone upH5927 to buryH6912 the slainH2491, after he had smittenH5221 every maleH2145 in EdomH123; 16(For sixH8337 monthsH2320 did JoabH3097 remainH3427 there with all IsraelH3478, until he had cut offH3772 every maleH2145 in EdomH123:) 17That HadadH111 fledH1272, he and certainH582 EdomitesH130 of his father’sH1 servantsH5650 with him, to goH935 into EgyptH4714; HadadH1908 being yet a littleH6996 childH5288. 18And they aroseH6965 out of MidianH4080, and cameH935 to ParanH6290: and they tookH3947 menH582 with them from ParanH6290, and they cameH935 to EgyptH4714, to PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714; who gaveH5414 him an houseH1004, and appointedH559 him foodH3899, and gaveH5414 him landH776. 19And HadadH1908 foundH4672 greatH3966 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of PharaohH6547, so that he gaveH5414 him for a wifeH802 the sisterH269 of his own wifeH802, the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 the queenH1377. 20And the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 boreH3205 him GenubathH1592 his sonH1121, whom TahpenesH8472 weanedH1580 inH8432 Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004: and GenubathH1592 was in Pharaoh’sH6547 householdH1004 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of PharaohH6547.
