Now King
Solomon
loved
many
foreign
women
along with the daughter
of Pharaoh:
Moabite,
Ammonite,
Edomite,
Sidonian,
and Hittite
women
,
2
from the nations
concerning which
the LORD
had said
to the sons
of Israel,
"You shall not associate
with them, nor
shall they associate
with you, for they will surely
turn
your heart
away
after
their gods."
Solomon
held fast
to these
in love.
3
He had
seven
hundred
wives,
princesses,
and three
hundred
concubines,
and his wives
turned
his heart
away.
4
For when
Solomon
was old,
his wives
turned
his heart
away
after
other
gods;
and
his heart
was not wholly devoted
to the LORD
his God,
as the heart
of David
his father
had been.
5
For Solomon
went
after
Ashtoreth
the goddess
of the Sidonians
and
after
Milcom
the detestable idol
of the Ammonites.
6
Solomon
did
what was evil
in the sight
of
the LORD
,
and
did
not follow
the LORD
fully,
as David
his father
had done.
7
Then
Solomon
built
a high place
for Chemosh
the detestable
idol
of Moab,
on the mountain
which
is east
of Jerusalem,
and for Molech
the detestable
idol
of the sons
of Ammon.
8
Thus
also he did
for all
his foreign
wives,
who burned incense
and sacrificed
to their gods.
9
Now the LORD
was angry
with Solomon
because
his heart
was turned away
from the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
who had appeared
to him twice,
10
and had commanded
him concerning
this
thing,
that he should not go
after
other
gods;
but he did not observe
what
the LORD
had commanded.
11
So the LORD
said
to Solomon,
"Because
you have done
this,
and you have not kept
My covenant
and My statutes,
which
I have commanded
you, I will surely
tear
the kingdom
from you, and will give
it to your servant.
12
"Nevertheless
I will not do
it in your days
for the sake
of your father
David,
but I will tear
it out of the hand
of your son.
13
"However,
I will not tear away
all
the kingdom,
but I will give
one
tribe
to your son
for the sake
of My servant
David
and
for the sake
of Jerusalem
which
I have chosen."
14
Then the LORD
raised
up an adversary
to Solomon,
Hadad
the Edomite;
he was of the royal
line
in Edom.
15
For it came
about, when David
was
in Edom
,
and Joab
the commander
of the army
had gone
up to bury
the slain,
and had struck down
every
male
in Edom
16
(for Joab
and all
Israel
stayed
there
six
months,
until
he had cut off
every
male
in Edom),
17
that Hadad
fled
to Egypt,
he and certain
Edomites
of his father's
servants
with him, while Hadad
was a young
boy.
18
They arose
from Midian
and came
to Paran;
and they took
men
with them from Paran
and came
to Egypt,
to Pharaoh
king
of Egypt,
who gave
him a house
and assigned
him food
and gave
him land.
19
Now Hadad
found
great
favor
before
Pharaoh,
so that he gave
him in marriage
the sister
of his own wife,
the sister
of Tahpenes
the queen.
20
The sister
of Tahpenes
bore
his son
Genubath,
whom Tahpenes
weaned
in Pharaoh's
house
;
and Genubath
was
in Pharaoh's
house
among
the sons
of Pharaoh.
21
But when
Hadad
heard
in Egypt
that David
slept
with his fathers
and that Joab
the commander
of the army
was dead,
Hadad
said
to Pharaoh,
"Send me away,
that I may go
to my own country."
22
Then Pharaoh
said
to him, "But what
have you lacked
with me, that behold,
you are seeking
to go
to your own country?"
And he answered,
"Nothing;
nevertheless
you must surely
let me go."
23
God
also raised
up another adversary
to him, Rezon
the son
of Eliada,
who
had fled
from his lord
Hadadezer
king
of Zobah.
24
He gathered
men
to himself and became
leader
of a marauding band,
after David
slew
them of Zobah; and they went
to Damascus
and stayed
there, and reigned
in Damascus.
25
So he was an adversary
to
Israel
all
the days
of Solomon,
along with the evil
that Hadad
did; and he abhorred
Israel
and reigned
over
Aram.
26
Then Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat,
an Ephraimite
of Zeredah,
Solomon's
servant,
whose mother's
name
was Zeruah,
a widow,
also rebelled
against the king.
27
Now this
was the reason
why
he rebelled
against the king:
Solomon
built
the Millo,
and closed
up the breach
of the city
of his father
David.
28
Now the man
Jeroboam
was a valiant
warrior,
and when Solomon
saw
that the young man
was industrious,
he appointed
him over all
the forced labor
of the house
of Joseph.
29
It came
about at that time,
when Jeroboam
went
out of Jerusalem,
that the prophet
Ahijah
the Shilonite
found
him on the road.
Now
Ahijah
had clothed
himself with a new
cloak;
and both
of them were alone
in the field.
30
Then Ahijah
took hold
of the new
cloak
which
was on him and tore
it into twelve
pieces.
31
He said
to Jeroboam,
"Take
for yourself ten
pieces;
for thus
says
the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
'Behold,
I will tear
the kingdom
out of the hand
of Solomon
and give
you ten
tribes
32
(but he will have
one
tribe,
for the sake
of My servant
David
and
for the sake
of Jerusalem,
the city
which
I have chosen
from all
the tribes
of Israel),
33
because
they have forsaken
Me, and have worshiped
Ashtoreth
the god
dess
of the Sidonians,
Chemosh
the god
of Moab,
and Milcom
the god
of the sons
of Ammon;
and they have not walked
in My ways,
doing
what is right
in My sight
and observing My statutes
and My ordinances,
as his father
David
did.
34
'
Nevertheless I will not take
the
who
le
kingdom
out of his hand,
but I will make
him ruler
all
the days
of his life,
for the sake
of My servant
David
who
m
I chose,
who
observed
My commandments
and My statutes;
35
but I will take
the kingdom
from his son's
hand
and give
it to you, even ten
tribes.
36
'
But to his son
I will give
one
tribe,
that My servant
David
may have
a lamp
always
before
Me in Jerusalem,
the city
where
I have chosen
for Myself to put
My name.
37
'
I will take
you, and you shall reign
over
whatever
you desire,
and you shall be king
over
Israel.
38
'
Then it will be, that if
you listen
to all
that I command
you and walk
in My ways,
and do
what is right
in My sight
by observing
My statutes
and My commandments,
as My servant
David
did,
then I will be with you and build
you an enduring
house
as I built
for
David
,
and I will give
Israel
to you.
39
'
Thus I will afflict
the descendants
of David
for this,
but not always.'"
40
Solomon
sought
therefore to put
Jeroboam
to death;
but
Jeroboam
arose
and fled
to Egypt
to Shishak
king
of Egypt,
and he was in Egypt
until
the death
of
Solomon
.
41
Now the rest
of the acts
of Solomon
and whatever
he did,
and his wisdom,
are they not written
in the book
of the acts
of Solomon
?
42
Thus the time
that Solomon
reigned
in Jerusalem
over
all
Israel
was forty
years.
43
And Solomon
slept
with his fathers
and was buried
in the city
of his father
David,
and his son
Rehoboam
reigned
in his place.
