1 Kings 11:1-40

11:1
But king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
loved
<0157> (8804)
many
<07227>
strange
<05237>
women
<0802>_,
together with the daughter
<01323>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
women of the Moabites
<04125>_,
Ammonites
<05984>_,
Edomites
<0130>_,
Zidonians
<06722>_,
[and] Hittites
<02850>_;
{together...: or, beside}
11:2
Of the nations
<01471>
[concerning] which the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Ye shall not go in
<0935> (8799)
to them, neither shall they come in
<0935> (8799)
unto you: [for] surely
<0403>
they will turn away
<05186> (8686)
your heart
<03824>
after
<0310>
their gods
<0430>_:
Solomon
<08010>
clave
<01692> (8804)
unto these in love
<0157> (8800)_.
11:3
And he had seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
wives
<0802>_,
princesses
<08282>_,
and three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
concubines
<06370>_:
and his wives
<0802>
turned away
<05186> (8686)
his heart
<03820>_.
11:4
For it came to pass, when
<06256>
Solomon
<08010>
was old
<02209>_,
[that] his wives
<0802>
turned away
<05186> (8689)
his heart
<03824>
after
<0310>
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_:
and his heart
<03824>
was not perfect
<08003>
with the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_,
as [was] the heart
<03824>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_.
11:5
For Solomon
<08010>
went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
Ashtoreth
<06253>
the goddess
<0430>
of the Zidonians
<06722>_,
and after
<0310>
Milcom
<04445>
the abomination
<08251>
of the Ammonites
<05984>_.
{Milcom: also called, Molech}
11:6
And Solomon
<08010>
did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and went not fully
<04390> (8765)
after
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>_,
as [did] David
<01732>
his father
<01>_.
{went...: Heb. fulfilled not after}
11:7
Then did Solomon
<08010>
build
<01129> (8799)
an high place
<01116>
for Chemosh
<03645>_,
the abomination
<08251>
of Moab
<04124>_,
in the hill
<02022>
that [is] before
<06440>
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and for Molech
<04432>_,
the abomination
<08251>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_.
11:8
And likewise did
<06213> (8804)
he for all his strange
<05237>
wives
<0802>_,
which burnt incense
<06999> (8688)
and sacrificed
<02076> (8764)
unto their gods
<0430>_.
11:9
And the LORD
<03068>
was angry
<0599> (8691)
with Solomon
<08010>_,
because his heart
<03824>
was turned
<05186> (8804)
from the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
which had appeared
<07200> (8738)
unto him twice
<06471>_,
11:10
And had commanded
<06680> (8765)
him concerning this thing
<01697>_,
that he should not go
<03212> (8800)
after
<0310>
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_:
but he kept
<08104> (8804)
not that which the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)_.
11:11
Wherefore the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Solomon
<08010>_,
Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept
<08104> (8804)
my covenant
<01285>
and my statutes
<02708>_,
which I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee, I will surely
<07167> (8800)
rend
<07167> (8799)
the kingdom
<04467>
from thee, and will give
<05414> (8804)
it to thy servant
<05650>_.
{is done...: Heb. is with thee}
11:12
Notwithstanding in thy days
<03117>
I will not do
<06213> (8799)
it for David
<01732>
thy father's
<01>
sake: [but] I will rend
<07167> (8799)
it out of the hand
<03027>
of thy son
<01121>_.
11:13
Howbeit
<07535>
I will not rend away
<07167> (8799)
all the kingdom
<04467>_;
[but] will give
<05414> (8799)
one
<0259>
tribe
<07626>
to thy son
<01121>
for David
<01732>
my servant's
<05650>
sake, and for Jerusalem's
<03389>
sake which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_.
11:14
And the LORD
<03068>
stirred up
<06965> (8686)
an adversary
<07854>
unto Solomon
<08010>_,
Hadad
<01908>
the Edomite
<0130>_:
he [was] of the king's
<04428>
seed
<02233>
in Edom
<0123>_.
11:15
For it came to pass, when David
<01732>
was in Edom
<0123>_,
and Joab
<03097>
the captain
<08269>
of the host
<06635>
was gone up
<05927> (8800)
to bury
<06912> (8763)
the slain
<02491>_,
after he had smitten
<05221> (8686)
every male
<02145>
in Edom
<0123>_;
11:16
(For six
<08337>
months
<02320>
did Joab
<03097>
remain
<03427> (8804)
there with all Israel
<03478>_,
until he had cut off
<03772> (8689)
every male
<02145>
in Edom
<0123>:)
11:17
That Hadad
<0111>
fled
<01272> (8799)_,
he and certain
<0582>
Edomites
<0130>
of his father's
<01>
servants
<05650>
with him, to go
<0935> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_;
Hadad
<01908>
[being] yet a little
<06996>
child
<05288>_.
11:18
And they arose
<06965> (8799)
out of Midian
<04080>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Paran
<06290>_:
and they took
<03947> (8799)
men
<0582>
with them out of Paran
<06290>_,
and they came
<0935> (8799)
to Egypt
<04714>_,
unto Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
which gave
<05414> (8799)
him an house
<01004>_,
and appointed
<0559> (8804)
him victuals
<03899>_,
and gave
<05414> (8804)
him land
<0776>_.
11:19
And Hadad
<01908>
found
<04672> (8799)
great
<03966>
favour
<02580>
in the sight
<05869>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
so that he gave
<05414> (8799)
him to wife
<0802>
the sister
<0269>
of his own wife
<0802>_,
the sister
<0269>
of Tahpenes
<08472>
the queen
<01377>_.
11:20
And the sister
<0269>
of Tahpenes
<08472>
bare
<03205> (8799)
him Genubath
<01592>
his son
<01121>_,
whom Tahpenes
<08472>
weaned
<01580> (8799)
in
<08432>
Pharaoh's
<06547>
house
<01004>_:
and Genubath
<01592>
was in Pharaoh's
<06547>
household
<01004>
among
<08432>
the sons
<01121>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_.
11:21
And when Hadad
<01908>
heard
<08085> (8804)
in Egypt
<04714>
that David
<01732>
slept
<07901> (8804)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and that Joab
<03097>
the captain
<08269>
of the host
<06635>
was dead
<04191> (8804)_,
Hadad
<01908>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Pharaoh
<06547>_,
Let me depart
<07971> (8761)_,
that I may go
<03212> (8799)
to mine own country
<0776>_.
{Let...: Heb. Send me away}
11:22
Then Pharaoh
<06547>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, But what hast thou lacked
<02638>
with me, that, behold, thou seekest
<01245> (8764)
to go
<03212> (8800)
to thine own country
<0776>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Nothing: howbeit let me go
<07971> (8762)
in any wise
<07971> (8763)_.
{Nothing: Heb. Not}
11:23
And God
<0430>
stirred him up
<06965> (8686)
[another] adversary
<07854>_,
Rezon
<07331>
the son
<01121>
of Eliadah
<0450>_,
which fled
<01272> (8804)
from his lord
<0113>
Hadadezer
<01909>
king
<04428>
of Zobah
<06678>_:
11:24
And he gathered
<06908> (8799)
men
<0582>
unto him, and became captain
<08269>
over a band
<01416>_,
when David
<01732>
slew
<02026> (8800)
them [of Zobah]: and they went
<03212> (8799)
to Damascus
<01834>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
therein, and reigned
<04427> (8799)
in Damascus
<01834>_.
11:25
And he was an adversary
<07854>
to Israel
<03478>
all the days
<03117>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
beside the mischief
<07451>
that Hadad
<01908>
[did]: and he abhorred
<06973> (8799)
Israel
<03478>_,
and reigned
<04427> (8799)
over Syria
<0758>_.
11:26
And Jeroboam
<03379>
the son
<01121>
of Nebat
<05028>_,
an Ephrathite
<0673>
of Zereda
<06868>_,
Solomon's
<08010>
servant
<05650>_,
whose mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Zeruah
<06871>_,
a widow
<0490>
woman
<0802>_,
even he lifted up
<07311> (8686)
[his] hand
<03027>
against the king
<04428>_.
11:27
And this [was] the cause
<01697>
that he lifted up
<07311> (8689)
[his] hand
<03027>
against the king
<04428>_:
Solomon
<08010>
built
<01129> (8804)
Millo
<04407>_,
[and] repaired
<05462> (8804)
the breaches
<06556>
of the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_.
{repaired: Heb. closed}
11:28
And the man
<0376>
Jeroboam
<03379>
[was] a mighty man
<01368>
of valour
<02428>_:
and Solomon
<08010>
seeing
<07200> (8799)
the young man
<05288>
that he was industrious
<06213> (8802) <04399>_,
he made him ruler
<06485> (8686)
over all the charge
<05447>
of the house
<01004>
of Joseph
<03130>_.
{was industrious: Heb. did work} {charge: Heb. burden}
11:29
And it came to pass at that time
<06256>
when Jeroboam
<03379>
went out
<03318> (8804)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
that the prophet
<05030>
Ahijah
<0281>
the Shilonite
<07888>
found
<04672> (8799)
him in the way
<01870>_;
and he had clad
<03680> (8693)
himself with a new
<02319>
garment
<08008>_;
and they two
<08147>
[were] alone in the field
<07704>_:
11:30
And Ahijah
<0281>
caught
<08610> (8799)
the new
<02319>
garment
<08008>
that [was] on him, and rent
<07167> (8799)
it [in] twelve
<08147> <06240>
pieces
<07168>_:
11:31
And he said
<0559> (8799)
to Jeroboam
<03379>_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
thee ten
<06235>
pieces
<07168>_:
for thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Behold, I will rend
<07167> (8802)
the kingdom
<04467>
out of the hand
<03027>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
and will give
<05414> (8804)
ten
<06235>
tribes
<07626>
to thee:
11:32
(But he shall have one
<0259>
tribe
<07626>
for my servant
<05650>
David's
<01732>
sake, and for Jerusalem's
<03389>
sake, the city
<05892>
which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
out of all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>:)
11:33
Because that they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me, and have worshipped
<07812> (8691)
Ashtoreth
<06253>
the goddess
<0430>
of the Zidonians
<06722>_,
Chemosh
<03645>
the god
<0430>
of the Moabites
<04124>_,
and Milcom
<04445>
the god
<0430>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and have not walked
<01980> (8804)
in my ways
<01870>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
[that which is] right
<03477>
in mine eyes
<05869>_,
and [to keep] my statutes
<02708>
and my judgments
<04941>_,
as [did] David
<01732>
his father
<01>_.
11:34
Howbeit I will not take
<03947> (8799)
the whole kingdom
<04467>
out of his hand
<03027>_:
but I will make
<07896> (8799)
him prince
<05387>
all the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>
for David
<01732>
my servant's
<05650>
sake, whom I chose
<0977> (8804)_,
because he kept
<08104> (8804)
my commandments
<04687>
and my statutes
<02708>_:
11:35
But I will take
<03947> (8804)
the kingdom
<04410>
out of his son's
<01121>
hand
<03027>_,
and will give
<05414> (8804)
it unto thee, [even] ten
<06235>
tribes
<07626>_.
11:36
And unto his son
<01121>
will I give
<05414> (8799)
one
<0259>
tribe
<07626>_,
that David
<01732>
my servant
<05650>
may have a light
<05216>
alway
<03117>
before
<06440>
me in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
the city
<05892>
which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
me to put
<07760> (8800)
my name
<08034>
there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
11:37
And I will take
<03947> (8799)
thee, and thou shalt reign
<04427> (8804)
according to all that thy soul
<05315>
desireth
<0183> (8762)_,
and shalt be king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_.
11:38
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto all that I command
<06680> (8762)
thee, and wilt walk
<01980> (8804)
in my ways
<01870>_,
and do
<06213> (8804)
[that is] right
<03477>
in my sight
<05869>_,
to keep
<08104> (8800)
my statutes
<02708>
and my commandments
<04687>_,
as David
<01732>
my servant
<05650>
did
<06213> (8804)_;
that I will be with thee, and build
<01129> (8804)
thee a sure
<0539> (8737)
house
<01004>_,
as I built
<01129> (8804)
for David
<01732>_,
and will give
<05414> (8804)
Israel
<03478>
unto thee.
11:39
And I will for this afflict
<06031> (8762)
the seed
<02233>
of David
<01732>_,
but not for ever
<03117>_.
11:40
Solomon
<08010>
sought
<01245> (8762)
therefore to kill
<04191> (8687)
Jeroboam
<03379>_.
And Jeroboam
<03379>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and fled
<01272> (8799)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
unto Shishak
<07895>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and was in Egypt
<04714>
until the death
<04194>
of Solomon
<08010>_.
