11BUT KING Solomon [defiantly] loved many foreign women--the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites.H4428H8010H157H7227H5237H802H1323H6547H4125H5984H130H6722H2850 2They were of the very nations of whom the Lord said to the Israelites, You shall not mingle with them, neither shall they mingle with you, for surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods. Yet Solomon clung to these in love.H1471H3068H559H1121H3478H935H935H403H5186H3824H310H430H8010H1692H157 3He had 700 wives, princesses, and 300 concubines, and his wives turned away his heart from God.H7651H3967H802H8282H7969H3967H6370H802H5186H3820 4For when Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect (complete and whole) with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.H6256H8010H2209H802H5186H3824H310H312H430H3824H8003H3068H430H3824H1732H1 5For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abominable idol of the Ammonites!H8010H3212H310H6253H430H6722H310H4445H8251H5984 6Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as David his father did.H8010H6213H7451H5869H3068H4390H310H3068H1732H1 7Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abominable idol of Moab, on the hill opposite Jerusalem, and for Molech the abominable idol of the Ammonites.H8010H1129H1116H3645H8251H4124H2022H6440H3389H4432H8251H1121H5983 8And he did so for all of his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.H6213H5237H802H6999H2076H430 9And the Lord was angry with Solomon because his heart was turned from the Lord, the God of Israel, Who had appeared to him twice,H3068H599H8010H3824H5186H3068H430H3478H7200H6471 10And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods, but he did not do what the Lord commanded.H6680H1697H3212H310H312H430H8104H3068H6680 11Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, Because you are doing this and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely rend the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant!H3068H559H8010H8104H1285H2708H6680H7167H7167H4467H5414H5650 12However, in your days I will not do it, for David your father's sake. But I will rend it out of the hand of your son!H3117H6213H1732H1H7167H3027H1121 13However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but will give one tribe to your son for David My servant's sake and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.H7535H7167H4467H5414H259H7626H1121H1732H5650H3389H977 14The Lord stirred up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of royal descent in Edom.H3068H6965H7854H8010H1908H130H4428H2233H123 15For when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of Israel's army went up to bury the slain, he slew every male in Edom.H1732H123H3097H8269H6635H5927H6912H2491H5221H2145H123 16For Joab and all Israel remained there for six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom.H8337H2320H3097H3427H3478H3772H2145H123 17But Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants, to Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.H111H1272H582H130H1H5650H935H4714H1908H6996H5288 18They set out from Midian and came to Paran, and took men with them out of Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave [young] Hadad a house and land and ordered provisions for him.H6965H4080H935H6290H3947H582H6290H935H4714H6547H4428H4714H5414H1004H559H3899H5414H776 19Hadad found great favor with Pharaoh, so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife Tahpenes the queen.H1908H4672H3966H2580H5869H6547H5414H802H269H802H269H8472H1377 20The sister of Tahpenes bore Hadad Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.H269H8472H3205H1592H1121H8472H1580H8432H6547H1004H1592H6547H1004H8432H1121H6547 21But when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers and that Joab the commander of Israel's army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.H1908H8085H4714H1732H7901H1H3097H8269H6635H4191H1908H559H6547H7971H3212H776 22Then Pharaoh said to him, But what have you lacked with me that now you want to go to your own country? He replied, Nothing. However, let me go anyhow.H6547H559H2638H1245H3212H776H559H7971H7971 23God raised up for [Hadad] another adversary, Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah.H430H6965H7854H7331H1121H450H1272H113H1909H4428H6678 24Rezon gathered men about him and became leader of a marauding band after the slaughter by David. They went to Damascus and dwelt and made [Rezon] king in Damascus.H6908H582H8269H1416H1732H2026H3212H1834H3427H4427H1834 25And Rezon was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad did. Rezon abhorred Israel and reigned over Syria.H7854H3478H3117H8010H7451H1908H6973H3478H4427H758 26Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, rebelled against the king--H3379H1121H5028H673H6868H8010H5650H517H8034H6871H490H802H7311H3027H4428 27And for this reason: Solomon built the Millo and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.H1697H7311H3027H4428H8010H1129H4407H5462H6556H5892H1732H1 28The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of courage. Solomon, seeing that the young man was industrious, put him in charge over all the [forced] labor of the house of Joseph.H376H3379H1368H2428H8010H7200H5288H6213H4399H6485H5447H1004H3130 29At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the way. Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and they were alone in the field.H6256H3379H3318H3389H5030H281H7888H4672H1870H3680H2319H8008H8147H7704 30Ahijah caught the new garment he wore and tore it into twelve pieces.H281H8610H2319H8008H7167H8147H6240H7168 31He said to Jeroboam, You take ten pieces, for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I will tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and will give you ten tribes.H559H3379H3947H6235H7168H559H3068H430H3478H7167H4467H3027H8010H5414H6235H7626 32But he shall have one tribe, for My servant David's sake and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel,H259H7626H5650H1732H3389H5892H977H7626H3478 33Because they have forsaken Me and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and have not walked in My ways, to do what is right in My sight, keeping My statutes and My ordinances as did David his father.H5800H7812H6253H430H6722H3645H430H4124H4445H430H1121H5983H1980H1870H6213H3477H5869H2708H4941H1732H1 34However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; but I will make him ruler all the days of his life for David My servant's sake, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and My statutes.H3947H4467H3027H7896H5387H3117H2416H1732H5650H977H8104H4687H2708 35But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and give it to you, ten tribes.H3947H4410H1121H3027H5414H6235H7626 36Yet to his son I will give one tribe, that David My servant may always have a light before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen to put My Name.H1121H5414H259H7626H1732H5650H5216H3117H6440H3389H5892H977H7760H8034 37And I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires; and you shall be king over Israel.H3947H4427H5315H183H4428H3478 38And if you will hearken to all I command you and will walk in My ways and do right in My sight, keeping My statutes and My commandments, as David My servant did, I will be with you and build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.H8085H6680H1980H1870H6213H3477H5869H8104H2708H4687H1732H5650H6213H1129H539H1004H1129H1732H5414H3478 39And I will for this afflict the descendants of David, but not forever.H6031H2233H1732H3117 40Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until Solomon died.H8010H1245H4191H3379H3379H6965H1272H4714H7895H4428H4714H4714H4194H8010 41The rest of the acts of Solomon--and all that he did, and his wisdom (skill)--are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?H3499H1697H8010H6213H2451H3789H5612H1697H8010 42The time Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.H3117H8010H4427H3389H3478H705H8141 43And Solomon slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father. Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.H8010H7901H1H6912H5892H1732H1H7346H1121H4427
