1 Kings 11:1
|
|
But king Solomon loved many strange women, together
with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians,
and Hittites: |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:2 |
|
Of the nations concerning which the LORD said
unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come
in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon
clave unto these in love. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:3 |
|
And he had seven hundred wives, princesses,
and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:4 |
|
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that
his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect
with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:5 |
|
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess
of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:6 |
|
And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD,
and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:7 |
|
Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh,
the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech,
the abomination of the children of Ammon. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:8 |
|
And likewise did he for all his strange wives,
which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:9 |
|
And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because
his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him
twice, |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:10 |
|
And had commanded him concerning this thing,
that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:11 |
|
Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch
as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which
I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give
it to thy servant. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:12 |
|
Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it
for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:13 |
|
Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom;
but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's
sake which I have chosen. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:14 |
|
And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon,
Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:15 |
|
For it came to pass, when David was in Edom,
and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten
every male in Edom; |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:16 |
|
(For six months did Joab remain there with all
Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:) |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:17 |
|
That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of
his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:18 |
|
And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran:
and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh
king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him
land. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:19 |
|
And Hadad found great favour in the sight of
Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of
Tahpenes the queen. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:20 |
|
And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath
his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's
household among the sons of Pharaoh. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:21 |
|
And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept
with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to
Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:22 |
|
Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou
lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he
answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:23 |
|
And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon
the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah: |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:24 |
|
And he gathered men unto him, and became captain
over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt
therein, and reigned in Damascus. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:25 |
|
And he was an adversary to Israel all the days
of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned
over Syria. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:26 |
|
And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite
of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even
he lifted up his hand against the king. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:27 |
|
And this was the cause that he lifted up his
hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city
of David his father. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:28 |
|
And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour:
and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over
all the charge of the house of Joseph. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:29 |
|
And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam
went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the
way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the
field: |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:30 |
|
And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on
him, and rent it in twelve pieces: |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:31 |
|
And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces:
for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out
of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee: |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:32 |
|
(But 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:) |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:33 |
|
Because that they have forsaken me, and have
worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites,
and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to
do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments,
as did David his father. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:34 |
|
Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out
of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my
servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes: |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:35 |
|
But I will take the kingdom out of his son's
hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:36 |
|
And unto his son will I give one tribe, that
David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which
I have chosen me to put my name there. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:37 |
|
And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according
to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:38 |
|
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto
all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my
sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that
I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will
give Israel unto thee. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:39 |
|
And I will for this afflict the seed of David,
but not for ever. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:40 |
|
Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And
Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt
until the death of Solomon. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:41 |
|
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all
that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:42 |
|
And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem
over all Israel was forty years. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 11:43 |
|
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was
buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. |
