• 4 તેના માંતાપિતાને ખબર નહોતી કે આ બધું યહોવા કરી રહ્યાં છે; તેને પલિસ્તીઓ સાથે લડવાનું કારણ જોઈતું હતું, કારણ એ વખતે પલિસ્તીઓ ઈસ્રાએલીઓ ઉપર રાજ્ય કરતા હતાં.

• 1 મિસરના ફારુનની પુત્રી સહિત અન્ય દેશોની ધણી સ્ત્રીઓને સુલેમાંન ચાહતો હતો તેમાં મોઆબની, આમ્મોનની, અદોમની, સિદોનની અને હિત્તીની સ્રીઓનો સમાંવેશ થતો હતો.

• 3 તેને 700 રાજવંશની રાણીઓ હતી અને 300 ઉપપત્ની હતી; જેઓએ તેને દેવથી વિમુખ કરી દીધો હતો.
• 4 તેની વૃદ્વાવસ્થામાં તે તેના પિતા દાઉદ જેવો નહોતો જેણે યહોવા પર સંપૂર્ણ વિશ્વાસ રાખ્યો. તેને બદલે તેની પાસે તેની પત્નીઓએ પોતાના દેવોની પૂજા કરાવડાવી.
• 5 તેણે સિદોનીઓ જેની પૂજા કરતાં તે આશ્તોરેથ દેવી અને ધિક્કારપાત્ર મિલ્કોમ જેને આમ્મોનીઓ પૂજતા તેને પૂજવા લાગ્યો.
• 6 આ રીતે સુલેમાંને યહોવાની દૃષ્ટિમાં અયોગ્ય ગણાય એવું આચરણ કર્યુ, અને પિતા દાઉદની જેમ યહોવાને હૃદયપૂર્વક અનુસર્યા નહિ.
• 7 એ વખતે સુલેમાંને મોઆબના ધિક્કારપાત્ર દેવ કમોશ માંટે અને આમ્મોનીઓના ધિક્કારપાત્ર દેવ મોલેખ માંટે યરૂશાલેમની નજીક આવેલા પર્વતના શિખર પર એક ઉચ્ચ સ્થાન બંધાવ્યું.
• 8 એ જ રીતે તેણે જુદા જુદા દેશની બધી પોતાની રાણીઓ માંટે મંદિરો બંધાવ્યાં અને તેઓએ ત્યાં પોતાના દેવોને ધૂપ અર્પણ કર્યુ અને યજ્ઞો કર્યા,
• 9 તેને લીધે યહોવા સુલેમાંન પર ખૂબ ગુસ્સે થયો. કારણકે યહોવાએ તેને બે વખત દર્શન આપ્યાં છતાં સુલેમાંને યહોવાથી મોઢું ફેરવી લીધું હતું.
• 10 અને તેને અન્ય દેવની પૂજા ન કરવાની ચેતવણી આપી હતી આમ છતાં તેણે યહોવાના હુકમનો અનાદર કર્યો.
• 11 તેથી યહોવાએ તેને કહ્યું, “આપણી વચ્ચે થયેલા કરારોનું પાલન તેં કર્યું નથી અને માંરા હુકમો પાળ્યા નથી, તેથી હું તારી પાસેથી રાજય ખૂંચવી લઈશ અને તારા સેવકોમાંથી કોઈ એકને આપીશ.
• 12 તેમ છતાં તારા પિતા દાઉદને કારણે તું જીવતો રહીશ ત્યાં સુધી હું આમ નહિ કરું, પરંતુ તારા પુત્રના હાથમાંથી હું રાજય ખૂંચવી લઈશ;
• 13 તેમ હું આખું રાજય પણ નહિ લઈ લઉં; પરંતુ હું માંરા સેવક દાઉદને માંટે અને માંરી પસંદગીના નગર યરૂશાલેમને માંટે એક કુળ તારા પુત્રોના હાથમાં રહેવા દઈશ.”
• 14 ત્યારબાદ યહોવાએ સુલેમાંનની સામે, એક શત્રુ ઊભો કર્યો, તે શત્રુ અદોમીના રાજવંશનો હદાદ હતો.
• 15 જ્યારે દાઉદ અદોમમાં હતો, ત્યારે તેના સેનાપતિ યોઆબે ત્યાં બધા શબોને દફનાવી દીધા અને ત્યારે અદોમના દરેક જીવતા પુરુષને માંરી નાખ્યાં.
• 16 અદોમના એક-એક પુરુષની હત્યા પૂર્રી થઈ ત્યાં સુધી, એટલે કે છ મહિના સુધી યોઆબ આખી ઇસ્રાએલી સેના સાથે ત્યાં જ રહ્યો હતો.
• 17 પણ હદાદ, જે તે વખતે બાળક હતો, તે તેના પિતાનાં કેટલાક નોકરોની સાથે મિસર ભાગી ગયો.
• 18 તેઓ મિધાનમાંથી નીકળીને પારાનમાં ગયા. પારાનમાંથી તેમણે થોડા માંણસોને ભેગા કર્યા અને ત્યાંથી તેઓ સર્વ મિસર ગયા અને ત્યાં મિસરના રાજા ફારુને તેઓના ખોરાકની અને રહેવાની જગ્યાની વ્યવસ્થા કરી અને તેમને અમુક જમીન ભેટ તરીકે આપી.
• 19 ફારુનને હદાદ ખૂબ પસંદ પડયો, અને તેણે રાણી તાહપનેસની બહેન હદાદને પરણાવી.
• 20 તાહપનેસની બહેનને એનાથી ગનુબાથ નામે એક પુત્ર થયો, અને તેને તાહપનેસે રાજમહેલમાં ઉછેરી મોટો કર્યો, તે ફારુનનાં બાળકો સાથે જ રહેતો.
• 21 જયારે હદાદને મિસરમાં સમાંચાર મળ્યા કે દાઉદ ચિરનિંદ્રામાં પોઢી ગયો છે, અને તેનો સેનાપતિ યોઆબ પણ મૃત્યુ પામ્યો છે, ત્યારે તેણે ફારુનને કહ્યું, “મને માંરા પોતાના દેશમાં પાછો જવા દો.”
• 22 પરંતુ ફારુને કહ્યું, “તને અહીં કોઇ વસ્તુની ખોટ છે કે તું તારે દેશ પાછો જવા માંગે છે?” હદાદે કહ્યું, “ના, પણ મહેરબાની કરીને મને જવા દો.”
• 23 યહોવાએ સુલેમાંન સામે એક બીજો શત્રુ ઊભો કર્યો; તે એલ્યાદાનો પુત્ર રઝોન હતો. જે તેનો માંલિક સોબાહના રાજા હદાદએઝેરને છોડીને ભાગી છૂટયો હતો.
• 24 એ સમયે જ્યારે દાઉદે સોબાહ પર હુમલો કર્યો ત્યારે રઝોને માંણસોની ટોળી ભેગી કરીને પોતે તેનો નાયક બની ગયો, ત્યાંથી તેઓ દમસ્ક ગયા અને ત્યાં સ્થાયી થઇ ગયા, અને રેઝોન તેમનો રાજા બની ગયો.
• 25 સુલેમાંન જીવ્યો ત્યાં સુધી રઝોન તે ઇસ્રાએલનો દુશ્મન રહ્યો. તેણે હાદાદ અને ઇસ્રાએલ માંટે મુશ્કેલીઓ ઉભી કરી.
• 26 બીજો એક બળવાખોર આગેવાન યરોબઆમ નબાટનો પુત્ર હતો. એફ્રાઈમ પ્રદેશના સરૂઆહ નગરમાંથી તે આવતો હતો, તેની માંતા સરૂઆહ વિધવા સ્રી હતી.
• 27 યરોબઆમ બળવાનો વૃત્તાંત આ પ્રમાંણે છે: તેણે સુલેમાંન મિલ્લોનો જીણોર્દ્ધાર કરાવ્યો હતો, અને પોતાના પિતા દાઉદના નગરની દીવાલનું બાકોરું બંધ કરાવ્યું.
• 28 હવે આ યરોબઆમ ઘણો સક્ષમ માંણસ હતો. સુલેમાંને જોયું કે યુવાન માંણસ તેનું કામ કેટલી સુંદર રીતે કરતો હતો, અને તેને યૂસફના વંશના વેઠ મજૂરોનો મુકાદમ બનાવી દીધો.
• 29 એક દિવસ યરોબઆમ યરૂશાલેમની બહાર ગયો હતો, ત્યારે શીલોનો પ્રબોધક અહિયા એને રસ્તામાં મળ્યો. અહિયાએ નવો ઝભ્ભો પહેર્યો હતો; એ બંને ખુલ્લા વગડામાં તદૃન એકલા જ હતા.
• 30 અહિયાએ પોતે જે નવો ઝભ્ભો પહેર્યો હતો, તે લઈ તેને ફાડીને બાર ભાગ કરી નાખ્યા.
• 31 પછી અહિયાએ યરોબઆમને કહ્યું કે, “આમાંના દશ ટુકડા લે, કારણ કે ઇસ્રાએલના યહોવા દેવ કહે છે, ‘હું સુલેમાંનના હાથમાંથી રાજ્ય આંચકી લઈશ અને દશ ટોળીઓ હું તને આપીશ.
• 32 પણ માંરા સેવક દાઉદને કારણેે હું સુલેમાંન અને તેના કુટુંબને રાજ્ય કરવા માંટે એક જાતિ અને યરૂશાલેમ આપીશ જે નગર મેં ઇસ્રાએલની બધી ટોળીઓમાંથી પસંદ કર્યુ હતું.
• 33 કારણ કે સુલેમાંને માંરો ત્યાગ કર્યો છે, તેણ સિદ્દોનીઓની દેવી આશ્તોરેથની, મોઆબના દેવ કમોશની અને આમ્મોનીઓના દેવ મિલ્કોમની પૂજા કરી છે. તે માંરા માંગેર્ ચાલ્યો નથી અને માંરી દૃષ્ટિમાં જે સારું છે, તે તેણે કર્યું નથી, તેના પિતા દાઉદે માંરા બધા વિધિઓ અને ફરમાંનો પાળ્યા હતાં, પણ સુલેમાંને તે પ્રમાંણે કર્યુ નથી.
• 34 આમ હોવા છતાં પણ માંરા પસંદ કરેલા સેવક દાઉદે માંરા હૂકમોનું પાલન કર્યુ હતું તેને લીધે, હમણાં હું તેની પાસેથી આખું રાજય આંચકી લઈશ નહિ, અને તેના બાકીના જીવનકાળ દરમ્યાન તે રાજ્ય કરવાનું ચાલુ રાખશે.
• 35 પરંતુ હું એના પુત્રના હાથમાંથી રાજય ખૂંચવી લઈશ અને તને દસ ટોળીઓ સુપ્રત કરીશ.
• 36 તેના પુત્રને હું એક ટોળી આપીશ, જેથી માંરા સેવક દાઉદનું નામ માંરા પસંદ કરેલા નગર યરૂશાલેમમાં કાયમ રહે.
• 37 તને હું ઇસ્રાએલનો રાજા બનાવીશ, અને તું ઇચ્છે તેટલા પ્રદેશમાં રાજ્ય કરીશ.
• 38 જો તું માંરી બધી આજ્ઞાઓનું પાલન કરીને અને માંરા સેવક દાઉદની જેમ મને જે યોગ્ય લાગતું હોય તેનું આચરણ કરીશ, તથા માંરા બધા હુકમ અને નિયમોનું પાલન કરીશ, માંરે માંગેર્ ચાલીશ અને હું જેમ ઇચ્છું છુઁ તેમ રહીશ તો હું તારી બાજુએ રહીશ, તને ઇસ્રાએલ આપીશ અને દાઉદના વંશની જેમ તારા વંશનું પણ નામ રાખીશ.
• 39 સુલેમાંનનાં પાપ માંટે દાઉદના કુટુંબને સજા કરીશ, પણ સજા કાયમ માંટે નહિ હોય.”
• 40 આ પછી સુલેમાંને યરોબઆમને માંરી નાખવાનો પ્રયત્ન કર્યો, પણ તે મિસરના રાજા શીશાક પાસે ભાગી ગયો, અને સુલેમાંનના મૃત્યુ સુધી મિસરમાં જ રહ્યો.
• 41 સુલેમાંનના રાજયના બીજા બધા બનાવો અને તેમનાં કાર્યો, તેમજ તેની બધી જ્ઞાનવાર્તા સુલેમાંનના વૃત્તાંતના ગ્રંથમાં નોંધેલા છે.
• 42 સુલેમાંને યરૂશાલેમમાંથી સમગ્ર ઇસ્રાએલ પર ચાળીસ વર્ષ રાજ્ય કર્યુ હતું.
• 43 ત્યારબાદ સુલેમાંન પોતાના પિતૃલોકને પામ્યો, તેને તેના પિતા દાઉદના નગરમાં દફનાવવામાં આવ્યો; અને તેની જગાએ તેનો પુત્ર રહાબઆમ ગાદીએ આવ્યો.

1 Kings 12:24

• 24 ‘આ યહોવાનાં વચન છે: તમાંરા ભાઈઓ ઇસ્રાએલીઓ સામે લડવા જશો નહિ, સૌ કોઈ પોતપોતાને ઘેર પાછા જાય, જે કંઈ બન્યું છે તે માંરી ઇચ્છાથી બન્યું છે.”‘ તેમણે યહોવાનું કહ્યું માંન્યું અને તેની આજ્ઞા પ્રમાંણે તેઓ પાછા ઘેર ચાલ્યા ગયા.

2 Chronicles 10:15

• 15 આમ, રાજાએ લોકોની વાત પર ધ્યાન આપ્યું નહિ, યહોવાએ શીલોના અહિયા મારફતે નબાટના પુત્ર યરોબઆમે દેવ તરફથી જે ભવિષ્યકથન પ્રગટ કર્યું હતું તે પૂર્ણ કરવા દેવે તેમ થવા દીધું હતું.

2 Chronicles 22:7

• 7 યહોરામને મળવા જવા યહોવાએ અહાઝયાએ પ્રેર્યો હતો, જેથી તેનો વિનાશ થાય. એ મુલાકાત દરમ્યાન તે યહોરામની સાથે જઇને નિમ્શીના પુત્ર યેહૂને પડકાર્યો, યેહૂને આહાબના કુટુંબનો નાશ કરવા માટે યહોવાએ નિમિર્ત કર્યો હતો.

2 Chronicles 25:20

• 20 પણ અમાસ્યાએ સાંભળ્યું નહિ. કારણકે તેઓ અદોમના દેવને ભજતા હતા. લડાઇમાં યહૂદા હારી જાય એમ દેવ ઇચ્છતા હતા. તેથી જ તેમણે અમાસ્યાને ઇસ્રાએલ સામે લડાવ્યો.

• 1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
• 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.
• 3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
• 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.
• 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
• 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
• 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.
• 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
• 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,
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
• 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;
• 16 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 23 And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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:
• 30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:
• 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:
• 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:)
• 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.
• 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:
• 35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.
• 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.
• 37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
• 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.
• 39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
• 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.
• 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?
• 42 And 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 David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

1 Kings 12:24

• 24 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.

2 Chronicles 10:15

• 15 So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

2 Chronicles 22:7

• 2 Of ^H4480 the nations ^H1471 concerning which ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 unto ^H413 the children ^H1121 of Israel, ^H3478 Ye shall not ^H3808 go in ^H935 to them, neither ^H3808 shall they ^H1992 come in ^H935 unto you: for surely ^H403 they will turn away ^{H5186 H853} your heart ^H3824 after ^H310 their gods: ^H430 Solomon ^H8010 cleaved ^H1692 unto these in love. ^H157
• 3 And he had ^H1961 seven ^H7651 hundred ^H3967 wives, ^H802 princesses, ^H8282 and three ^H7969 hundred ^H3967 concubines: ^H6370 and his wives ^H802 turned away ^{H5186 H853} his heart. ^H3820

• 6 And Solomon ^H8010 did ^H6213 evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD, ^H3068 and went not fully ^{H3808 H4390} after ^H310 the LORD, ^H3068 as did David ^H1732 his father. ^H1
• 7 Then ^H227 did Solomon ^H8010 build ^H1129 a high place ^H1116 for Chemosh, ^H3645 the abomination ^H8251 of Moab, ^H4124 in the hill ^H2022 that ^H834 is before ^{H5921 H6440} Jerusalem, ^H3389 and for Molech, ^H4432 the abomination ^H8251 of the children ^H1121 of Ammon. ^H5983
• 8 And likewise ^H3651 did ^H6213 he for all ^H3605 his strange ^H5237 wives, ^H802 which burnt incense ^H6999 and sacrificed ^H2076 unto their gods. ^H430
• 9 And the LORD ^H3068 was angry ^H599 with Solomon, ^H8010 because ^H3588 his heart ^H3824 was turned ^H5186 from ^{H4480 H5973} the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 which had appeared ^H7200 unto ^H413 him twice, ^H6471
• 10 And had commanded ^{H6680 H413} him concerning ^H5921 this ^H2088 thing, ^H1697 that he should not ^H1115 go ^H1980 after ^H310 other ^H312 gods: ^H430 but he kept ^H8104 not ^{H3808 H853} that which ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 commanded. ^H6680
• 11 Wherefore the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 unto Solomon, ^H8010 Forasmuch ^H3282 as ^H834 this ^H2063 is ^H1961 done of ^H5973 thee , and thou hast not ^H3808 kept ^H8104 my covenant ^H1285 and my statutes, ^H2708 which ^H834 I have commanded ^{H6680 H5921} thee , I will surely rend ^{H7167 H7167 H853} the kingdom ^H4467 from ^{H4480 H5921} thee , and will give ^H5414 it to thy servant. ^H5650
• 12 Notwithstanding ^H389 in thy days ^H3117 I will not ^H3808 do ^H6213 it for David thy father's sake ^H4616 H1732: ^H1 but I will rend ^H7167 it out of the hand ^{H4480 H3027} of thy son. ^H1121
• 13 Howbeit ^H7535 I will not ^H3808 rend away all ^H3605 the kingdom; ^H4467 but will give ^H5414 one ^H259 tribe ^H7626 to thy son ^H1121 for David my servant's sake ^H4616 H1732, ^H5650 and for Jerusalem's sake ^{H4616 H3389} which ^H834 I have chosen. ^H977
• 14 And the LORD ^H3068 stirred up ^H6965 an adversary ^H7854 unto Solomon, ^{H8010 H853} Hadad ^H1908 the Edomite: ^H130 he ^H1931 was of the king's seed ^{H4480 H2233 H4428} in Edom. ^H123
• 15 For it came to pass, ^H1961 when David ^H1732 was ^H1961 in ^H853 Edom, ^H123 and Joab ^H3097 the captain ^H8269 of the host ^H6635 was gone up ^H5927 to bury ^{H6912 H853} the slain, ^H2491 after he had smitten ^H5221 every ^H3605 male ^H2145 in Edom; ^H123
• 16 ( For ^H3588 six ^H8337 months ^H2320 did Joab ^H3097 remain ^H3427 there ^H8033 with all ^H3605 Israel, ^H3478 until ^H5704 he had cut off ^H3772 every ^H3605 male ^H2145 in Edom: ^H123 )
• 17 That Hadad ^H111 fled, ^H1272 he ^H1931 and certain ^H376 Edomites ^H129 of his father's servants ^{H4480 H5650 H1} with ^H854 him , to go ^H935 into Egypt; ^H4714 Hadad ^H1908 being yet a little ^H6996 child. ^H5288
• 18 And they arose ^H6965 out of Midian ^{H4480 H4080} , and came ^H935 to Paran: ^H6290 and they took ^H3947 men ^H376 with ^H5973 them out of Paran ^{H4480 H6290} , and they came ^H935 to Egypt, ^H4714 unto ^H413 Pharaoh ^H6547 king ^H4428 of Egypt; ^H4714 which gave ^H5414 him a house, ^H1004 and appointed ^H559 him victuals, ^H3899 and gave ^H5414 him land. ^H776
• 19 And Hadad ^H1908 found ^H4672 great ^H3966 favor ^H2580 in the sight ^H5869 of Pharaoh, ^H6547 so that he gave ^H5414 him to wife ^{H802 H853} the sister ^H269 of his own wife, ^H802 the sister ^H269 of Tahpenes ^H8472 the queen. ^H1377
• 20 And the sister ^H269 of Tahpenes ^H8472 bore ^H3205 him ^H853 Genubath ^H1592 his son, ^H1121 whom Tahpenes ^H8472 weaned ^H1580 in ^H8432 Pharaoh's ^H6547 house: ^H1004 and Genubath ^H1592 was ^H1961 in Pharaoh's ^H6547 household ^H1004 among ^H8432 the sons ^H1121 of Pharaoh. ^H6547
• 21 And when Hadad ^H1908 heard ^H8085 in Egypt ^H4714 that ^H3588 David ^H1732 slept ^H7901 with ^H5973 his fathers, ^H1 and that ^H3588 Joab ^H3097 the captain ^H8269 of the host ^H6635 was dead, ^H4191 Hadad ^H1908 said ^H559 to ^H413 Pharaoh, ^H6547 Let me depart, ^H7971 that I may go ^H1980 to ^H413 mine own country. ^H776
• 22 Then Pharaoh ^H6547 said ^H559 unto him, But ^H3588 what ^H4100 hast thou ^H859 lacked ^H2638 with ^H5973 me, that, behold, ^H2009 thou seekest ^H1245 to go ^H1980 to ^H413 thine own country ^H776 ? And he answered, ^H559 Nothing: ^H3808 howbeit ^H3588 let me go in any wise ^{H7971 H7971} .
• 23 And God ^H430 stirred him up ^H6965 another adversary, ^{H7854 H853} Rezon ^H7331 the son ^H1121 of Eliadah, ^H450 which ^H834 fled ^H1272 from ^{H4480 H854} his lord ^H113 Hadadezer ^H1909 king ^H4428 of Zobah: ^H6678
• 24 And he gathered ^H6908 men ^H376 unto ^H5921 him , and became ^H1961 captain ^H8269 over a band, ^H1416 when David ^H1732 slew ^H2026 them of Zobah : and they went ^H1980 to Damascus, ^H1834 and dwelt ^H3427 therein , and reigned ^H4427 in Damascus. ^H1834
• 25 And he was ^H1961 an adversary ^H7854 to Israel ^H3478 all ^H3605 the days ^H3117 of Solomon, ^H8010 beside ^H854 the mischief ^H7451 that ^H834 Hadad ^H1908 did : and he abhorred ^H6973 Israel, ^H3478 and reigned ^H4427 over ^H5921 Syria. ^H758
• 26 And Jeroboam ^H3379 the son ^H1121 of Nebat, ^H5028 an Ephrathite ^H673 of ^H4480 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
• 27 And this ^H2088 was the cause ^H1697 that ^H834 he lifted up ^H7311 his hand ^H3027 against the king: ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 built ^{H1129 H853} Millo, ^H4407 and repaired ^{H5462 H853} the breaches ^H6556 of the city ^H5892 of David ^H1732 his father. ^H1
• 28 And the man ^H376 Jeroboam ^H3379 was a mighty ^H1368 man of valor: ^H2428 and Solomon ^H8010 seeing ^{H7200 H853} the young man ^H5288 that ^H3588 he ^H1931 was industrious ^{H6213 H4399} , he made him ruler ^{H6485 H853} over all ^H3605 the charge ^H5447 of the house ^H1004 of Joseph. ^H3130
• 29 And it came to pass ^H1961 at that ^H1931 time ^H6256 when Jeroboam ^H3379 went out ^H3318 of Jerusalem ^{H4480 H3389} , that the prophet ^H5030 Ahijah ^H281 the Shilonite ^H7888 found ^H4672 him in the way; ^H1870 and he ^H1931 had clad himself ^H3680 with a new ^H2319 garment; ^H8008 and they two ^H8147 were alone ^H905 in the field: ^H7704
• 30 And Ahijah ^H281 caught ^H8610 the new ^H2319 garment ^H8008 that ^H834 was on ^H5921 him , and rent ^H7167 it in twelve ^{H8147 H6240} pieces: ^H7168
• 31 And he said ^H559 to Jeroboam, ^H3379 Take ^H3947 thee ten ^H6235 pieces: ^H7168 for ^H3588 thus ^H3541 saith ^H559 the LORD, ^H3068 the God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 Behold, ^H2009 I will rend ^{H7167 H853} the kingdom ^H4467 out of the hand ^{H4480 H3027} of Solomon, ^H8010 and will give ^{H5414 H853} ten ^H6235 tribes ^H7626 to thee:
• 32 (But he shall have ^H1961 one ^H259 tribe ^H7626 for my servant David's sake ^H4616 H1732, ^H5650 and for Jerusalem's sake ^H4616 , ^H3389 the city ^H5892 which ^H834 I have chosen ^H977 out of all ^{H4480 H3605} the tribes ^H7626 of Israel: ^H3478 )
• 33 Because ^H3282 that ^H834 they have forsaken ^H5800 me , and have worshiped ^H7812 Ashtoreth ^H6253 the goddess ^H430 of the Zidonians, ^H6721 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 ^H3808 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
• 34 Howbeit I will not ^H3808 take the whole ^H3605 kingdom ^H4467 out of his hand H4480: ^H3027 but ^H3588 I will make ^H7896 him prince ^H5387 all ^H3605 the days ^H3117 of his life ^H2416 for David my servant's sake ^H4616 H1732, ^H5650 whom ^{H834 H853} I chose, ^H977 because ^H834 he kept ^H8104 my commandments ^H4687 and my statutes: ^H2708
• 35 But I will take ^H3947 the kingdom ^H4410 out of his son's hand ^H4480 H3027, ^H1121 and will give ^H5414 it unto thee, even ^H853 ten ^H6235 tribes. ^H7626
• 36 And unto his son ^H1121 will I give ^H5414 one ^H259 tribe, ^H7626 that ^H4616 David ^H1732 my servant ^H5650 may have ^H1961 a light ^H5216 always ^{H3605 H3117} before ^H6440 me in Jerusalem, ^H3389 the city ^H5892 which ^H834 I have chosen ^H977 me to put ^H7760 my name ^H8034 there. ^H8033
• 37 And I will take ^H3947 thee , and thou shalt reign ^H4427 according to all ^H3605 that ^H834 thy soul ^H5315 desireth, ^H183 and shalt be ^H1961 king ^H4428 over ^H5921 Israel. ^H3478
• 38 And it shall be, ^H1961 if ^H518 thou wilt hearken unto ^{H8085 H853} all ^H3605 that ^H834 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 ^H834 David ^H1732 my servant ^H5650 did; ^H6213 that I will be ^H1961 with ^H5973 thee , and build ^H1129 thee a sure ^H539 house, ^H1004 as ^H834 I built ^H1129 for David, ^H1732 and will give ^{H5414 H853} Israel ^H3478 unto thee.
• 39 And I will for ^H4616 this ^H2063 afflict ^{H6031 H853} the seed ^H2233 of David, ^H1732 but ^H389 not ^H3808 forever ^{H3605 H3117} .
• 40 Solomon ^H8010 sought ^H1245 therefore to kill ^{H4191 H853} Jeroboam. ^H3379 And Jeroboam ^H3379 arose, ^H6965 and fled ^H1272 into Egypt, ^H4714 unto ^H413 Shishak ^H7895 king ^H4428 of Egypt, ^H4714 and was ^H1961 in Egypt ^H4714 until ^H5704 the death ^H4194 of Solomon. ^H8010
• 41 And the rest ^H3499 of the acts ^H1697 of Solomon, ^H8010 and all ^H3605 that ^H834 he did, ^H6213 and his wisdom, ^H2451 are they ^H1992 not ^H3808 written ^H3789 in ^H5921 the book ^H5612 of the acts ^H1697 of Solomon ^H8010 ?

• 4 And it cometh to pass, at the time of the old age of Solomon, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of David his father.
• 5 And Solomon goeth after Ashtoreth goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites;
• 6 and Solomon doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and hath not been fully after Jehovah, like David his father.
• 7 Then doth Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is on the front of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon;
• 8 and so he hath done for all his strange women, who are perfuming and sacrificing to their gods.
• 9 And Jehovah sheweth Himself angry with Solomon, for his heart hath turned aside from Jehovah, God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,
• 10 and given a charge unto him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; and he hath not kept that which Jehovah commanded,

• 14 And Jehovah raiseth up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; of the seed of the king is he in Edom;
• 15 and it cometh to pass, in David`s being with Edom, in the going up of Joab head of the host to bury the slain, that he smiteth every male in Edom --

• 25 and he is an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, (besides the evil that Hadad did), and he cutteth off in Israel, and reigneth over Aram.
• 26 And Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda -- the name of whose mother is Zeruah, a widow woman -- servant to Solomon, he also lifteth up a hand against the king;
• 27 and this is the thing for which he lifted up a hand against the king: Solomon built Millo -- he shut up the breach of the city of David his father,
• 28 and the man Jeroboam is mighty in valour, and Solomon seeth the young man that he is doing business, and appointeth him over all the burden of the house of Joseph.
• 29 And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Jeroboam hath gone out from Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, findeth him in the way, and he is covering himself with a new garment; and both of them are by themselves in a field,
• 30 and Ahijah layeth hold on the new garment that is on him, and rendeth it -- twelve pieces,
• 31 and saith to Jeroboam, `Take to thee ten pieces, for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, I am rending the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and have given to thee the ten tribes,
• 32 and the one tribe he hath for My servant David`s sake, and for Jerusalem`s sake, the city which I have fixed on, out of all the tribes of Israel.
• 33 `Because they have forsaken Me, and bow themselves to Ashtoreth, goddess of the Zidonians, to Chemosh god of Moab, and to Milcom god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which is right in Mine eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, like David his father.
• 34 `And I do not take the whole of the kingdom out of his hand, for prince I make him all days of his life, for the sake of David My servant whom I chose, who kept My commands and My statutes;
• 35 and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and given it to thee -- the ten tribes;
• 36 and to his son I give one tribe, for there being a lamp to David My servant all the days before Me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to Myself to put My name there.
• 37 `And thee I take, and thou hast reigned over all that thy soul desireth, and thou hast been king over Israel;
• 38 and it hath been, if thou dost hear all that I command thee, and hast walked in My ways, and done that which is right in Mine eyes, to keep My statutes and My commands, as did David My servant, that I have been with thee, and have built for thee a stedfast house, as I built for David, and have given to thee Israel,
• 39 and I humble the seed of David for this; only, not all the days.`
• 40 And Solomon seeketh to put Jeroboam to death, and Jeroboam riseth and fleeth to Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and he is in Egypt till the death of Solomon.
• 41 And the rest of the matters of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written on the book of the matters of Solomon?
• 42 And the days that Solomon hath reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel are forty years,
• 43 and Solomon lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David his father, and reign doth Rehoboam his son in his stead.

• 7 and from God hath been the destruction of Ahaziah, to come unto Joram: and in his coming he hath gone out with Jehoram unto Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

2 Chronicles 25:20

• 20 And Amaziah hath not hearkened, for from God it is in order to give them into hand, because they have sought the gods of Edom;

Judges 14:4

• 4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of Jehovah; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.

1 Kings 11:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43

• 1 Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;
• 2 of the nations concerning which Jehovah said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
• 3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
• 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 Jehovah his God, as was the heart of David his father.
• 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
• 6 And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and went not fully after Jehovah, as did David his father.
• 7 Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
• 8 And so did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
• 9 And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah, the God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,
• 10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which Jehovah commanded.
• 11 Wherefore Jehovah 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.
• 12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy fathers sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
• 13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servants sake, and for Jerusalems sake which I have chosen.
• 14 And Jehovah raised up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the kings seed in Edom.
• 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, and had smitten every male in Edom;
• 16 (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom);
• 17 that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his fathers servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.
• 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, who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
• 19 And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
• 20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaohs house; and Genubath was in Pharaohs house among the sons of Pharaoh.
• 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.
• 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 only let me depart.
• 23 And God raised up another adversary unto him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.
• 24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a troop, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.
• 25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
• 26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mothers name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king.
• 27 And this was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father.
• 28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labor of the house of Joseph.
• 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; now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field.
• 30 And Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces.
• 31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces; for thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee;
• 32 (but he shall have one tribe, for my servant Davids sake and for Jerusalems sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel);
• 33 because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon; and they have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and mine ordinances, as did David his father.
• 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 servants sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes;
• 35 but I will take the kingdom out of his sons hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.
• 36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
• 37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
• 38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in mine eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and will build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
• 39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
• 40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
• 41 Now 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?
• 42 And 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 David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
