I Kings 11 (kjv)

But king^H4428 Solomon^H8010 loved^H157 many^H7227 strange^H5237 women^H802, together with the daughter^H1323 of Pharaoh^H6547, women of the Moabites^H4125, Ammonites^H5984, Edomites^H130, Zidonians^H6722, and Hittites^H2850;²Of the nations^H1471 concerning which the LORD^H3068 said^H559 unto the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, Ye shall not go in^H935 to them, neither shall they come in^H935 unto you: for surely^H403 they will turn away^H5186 your heart^H3824 after^H310 their gods^H430: Solomon^H8010 clave^H1692 unto these in love^H157.³And he had seven^H7651 hundred^H3967 wives^H802, princesses^H8282, and three^H7969 hundred^H3967 concubines^H6370: and his wives^H802 turned away^H5186 his heart^H3820.

⁴For it came to pass, when^H6256 Solomon^H8010 was old^H2209, that his wives^H802 turned away^H5186 his heart^H3824 after^H310 other^H312 gods^H430: and his heart^H3824 was not perfect^H8003 with the LORD^H3068 his God^H430, as was the heart^H3824 of David^H1732 his father^H1.⁵For Solomon^H8010 went^H3212 after^H310 Ashtoreth^H6253 the goddess^H430 of the Zidonians^H6722, and after^H310 Milcom^H4445 the abomination^H8251 of the Ammonites^H5984.⁶And Solomon^H8010 did^H6213 evil^H7451 in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, and went not fully^H4390 after^H310 the LORD^H3068, as did David^H1732 his father^H1.⁷Then did Solomon^H8010 build^H1129 an high place^H1116 for Chemosh^H3645, the abomination^H8251 of Moab^H4124, in the hill^H2022 that is before^H6440 Jerusalem^H3389, and for Molech^H4432, the abomination^H8251 of the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983.⁸And likewise did^H6213 he for all his strange^H5237 wives^H802, which burnt incense^H6999 and sacrificed^H2076 unto their gods^H430.

⁹And the LORD^H3068 was angry^H599 with Solomon^H8010, because his heart^H3824 was turned^H5186 from the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478, which had appeared^H7200 unto him twice^H6471,¹⁰And had commanded^H6680 him concerning this thing^H1697, that he should not go^H3212 after^H310 other^H312 gods^H430: but he kept^H8104 not that which the LORD^H3068 commanded^H6680.¹¹Wherefore the LORD^H3068 said^H559 unto Solomon^H8010, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept^H8104 my covenant^H1285 and my statutes^H2708, which I have commanded^H6680 thee, I will surely^H7167 rend^H7167 the kingdom^H4467 from thee, and will give^H5414 it to thy servant^H5650.¹²Notwithstanding in thy days^H3117 I will not do^H6213 it for David^H1732 thy father's^H1 sake: but I will rend^H7167 it out of the hand^H3027 of thy son^H1121.¹³Howbeit^H7535 I will not rend away^H7167 all the kingdom^H4467; but will give^H5414 one^H259 tribe^H7626 to thy son^H1121 for David^H1732 my servant's^H5650 sake, and for Jerusalem's^H3389 sake which I have chosen^H977.

¹⁴And the LORD^H3068 stirred up^H6965 an adversary^H7854 unto Solomon^H8010, Hadad^H1908 the Edomite^H130: he was of the king's^H4428 seed^H2233 in Edom^H123.¹⁵For it came to pass, when David^H1732 was in Edom^H123, and Joab^H3097 the captain^H8269 of the host^H6635 was gone up^H5927 to bury^H6912 the slain^H2491, after he had smitten^H5221 every male^H2145 in Edom^H123;¹⁶(For six^H8337 months^H2320 did Joab^H3097 remain^H3427 there with all Israel^H3478, until he had cut off^H3772 every male^H2145 in Edom^H123:)¹⁷That Hadad^H111 fled^H1272, he and certain^H582 Edomites^H130 of his father's^H1 servants^H5650 with him, to go^H935 into Egypt^H4714; Hadad^H1908 being yet a little^H6996 child^H5288.¹⁸And they arose^H6965 out of Midian^H4080, and came^H935 to Paran^H6290: and they took^H3947 men^H582 with them out of Paran^H6290, and they came^H935 to Egypt^H4714, unto Pharaoh^H6547 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714; which gave^H5414 him an house^H1004, and appointed^H559 him victuals^H3899, and gave^H5414 him land^H776.¹⁹And Hadad^H1908 found^H4672 great^H3966 favour^H2580 in the sight^H5869 of Pharaoh^H6547, so that he gave^H5414 him to wife^H802 the sister^H269 of his own wife^H802, the sister^H269 of Tahpenes^H8472 the queen^H1377.²⁰And the sister^H269 of Tahpenes^H8472 bare^H3205 him Genubath^H1592 his son^H1121, whom Tahpenes^H8472 weaned^H1580 in^H8432 Pharaoh's^H6547 house^H1004: and Genubath^H1592 was in Pharaoh's^H6547 household^H1004 among^H8432 the sons^H1121 of Pharaoh^H6547.²¹And when Hadad^H1908 heard^H8085 in Egypt^H4714 that David^H1732 slept^H7901 with his fathers^H1, and that Joab^H3097 the captain^H8269 of the host^H6635 was dead^H4191, Hadad^H1908 said^H559 to Pharaoh^H6547, Let me depart^H7971, that I may go^H3212 to mine own country^H776.²²Then Pharaoh^H6547 said^H559 unto him, But what hast thou lacked^H2638 with me, that, behold, thou seekest^H1245 to go^H3212 to thine own country^H776? And he answered^H559, Nothing: howbeit let me go^H7971 in any wise^H7971.

²³And God^H430 stirred him up^H6965 another adversary^H7854, Rezon^H7331 the son^H1121 of Eliadah^H450, which fled^H1272 from his lord^H113 Hadadezer^H1909 king^H4428 of Zobah^H6678:²⁴And he gathered^H6908 men^H582 unto him, and became captain^H8269 over a band^H1416, when David^H1732 slew^H2026 them of Zobah: and they went^H3212 to Damascus^H1834, and dwelt^H3427 therein, and reigned^H4427 in Damascus^H1834.²⁵And he was an adversary^H7854 to Israel^H3478 all the days^H3117 of Solomon^H8010, beside the mischief^H7451 that Hadad^H1908 did: and he abhorred^H6973 Israel^H3478, and reigned^H4427 over Syria^H758.

²⁶And Jeroboam^H3379 the son^H1121 of Nebat^H5028, an Ephrathite^H673 of Zereda^H6868, Solomon's^H8010 servant^H5650, whose mother's^H517 name^H8034 was Zeruah^H6871, a widow^H490 woman^H802, even he lifted up^H7311 his hand^H3027 against the king^H4428.²⁷And this was the cause^H1697 that he lifted up^H7311 his hand^H3027 against the king^H4428: Solomon^H8010 built^H1129 Millo^H4407, and repaired^H5462 the breaches^H6556 of the city^H5892 of David^H1732 his father^H1.²⁸And the man^H376 Jeroboam^H3379 was a mighty man^H1368 of valour^H2428: and Solomon^H8010 seeing^H7200 the young man^H5288 that he was industrious^{H6213 H4399}, he made him ruler^H6485 over all the charge^H5447 of the house^H1004 of Joseph^H3130.²⁹And it came to pass at that time^H6256 when Jeroboam^H3379 went out^H3318 of Jerusalem^H3389, that the prophet^H5030 Ahijah^H281 the Shilonite^H7888 found^H4672 him in the way^H1870; and he had clad^H3680 himself with a new^H2319 garment^H8008; and they two^H8147 were alone in the field^H7704:³⁰And Ahijah^H281 caught^H8610 the new^H2319 garment^H8008 that was on him, and rent^H7167 it in twelve^{H8147 H6240} pieces^H7168:³¹And he said^H559 to Jeroboam^H3379, Take^H3947 thee ten^H6235 pieces^H7168: for thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478, Behold, I will rend^H7167 the kingdom^H4467 out of the hand^H3027 of Solomon^H8010, and will give^H5414 ten^H6235 tribes^H7626 to thee:³²(But he shall have one^H259 tribe^H7626 for my servant^H5650 David's^H1732 sake, and for Jerusalem's^H3389 sake, the city^H5892 which I have chosen^H977 out of all the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478:)³³Because that they have forsaken^H5800 me, and have worshipped^H7812 Ashtoreth^H6253 the goddess^H430 of the Zidonians^H6722, Chemosh^H3645 the god^H430 of the Moabites^H4124, and Milcom^H4445 the god^H430 of the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983, and have not walked^H1980 in my ways^H1870, to do^H6213 that which is right^H3477 in mine eyes^H5869, and to keep my statutes^H2708 and my judgments^H4941, as did David^H1732 his father^H1.³⁴Howbeit I will not take^H3947 the whole kingdom^H4467 out of his hand^H3027: but I will make^H7896 him prince^H5387 all the days^H3117 of his life^H2416 for David^H1732 my servant's^H5650 sake, whom I chose^H977, because he kept^H8104 my commandments^H4687 and my statutes^H2708:³⁵But I will take^H3947 the kingdom^H4410 out of his son's^H1121 hand^H3027, and will give^H5414 it unto thee, even ten^H6235 tribes^H7626.³⁶And unto his son^H1121 will I give^H5414 one^H259 tribe^H7626, that David^H1732 my servant^H5650 may have a light^H5216 alway^H3117 before^H6440 me in Jerusalem^H3389, the city^H5892 which I have chosen^H977 me to put^H7760 my name^H8034 there.³⁷And I will take^H3947 thee, and thou shalt reign^H4427 according to all that thy soul^H5315 desireth^H183, and shalt be king^H4428 over Israel^H3478.³⁸And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken^H8085 unto all that I command^H6680 thee, and wilt walk^H1980 in my ways^H1870, and do^H6213 that is right^H3477 in my sight^H5869, to keep^H8104 my statutes^H2708 and my commandments^H4687, as David^H1732 my servant^H5650 did^H6213; that I will be with thee, and build^H1129 thee a sure^H539 house^H1004, as I built^H1129 for David^H1732, and will give^H5414 Israel^H3478 unto thee.³⁹And I will for this afflict^H6031 the seed^H2233 of David^H1732, but not for ever^H3117.⁴⁰Solomon^H8010 sought^H1245 therefore to kill^H4191 Jeroboam^H3379. And Jeroboam^H3379 arose^H6965, and fled^H1272 into Egypt^H4714, unto Shishak^H7895 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714, and was in Egypt^H4714 until the death^H4194 of Solomon^H8010.

⁴¹And the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Solomon^H8010, and all that he did^H6213, and his wisdom^H2451, are they not written^H3789 in the book^H5612 of the acts^H1697 of Solomon^H8010?⁴²And the time^H3117 that Solomon^H8010 reigned^H4427 in Jerusalem^H3389 over all Israel^H3478 was forty^H705 years^H8141.⁴³And Solomon^H8010 slept^H7901 with his fathers^H1, and was buried^H6912 in the city^H5892 of David^H1732 his father^H1: and Rehoboam^H7346 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427 in his stead.
