1 Kings 11:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 King Solomon loved many foreign women besides the daughter of Pharaoh (Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites),
2 from nations with which the LORD had forbidden the Israelites to intermarry, "because," he said, "they will turn your hearts to their gods." But Solomon fell in love with them.
3 He had seven hundred wives of princely rank and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart.
4 When Solomon was old his wives had turned his heart to strange gods, and his heart was not entirely with the LORD, his God, as the heart of his father David had been.
5 By adoring Astarte, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom, the idol of the Ammonites,
6 Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not follow him unreservedly as his father David had done.
7 Solomon then built a high place to Chemosh, the idol of Moab, and to Molech, the idol of the Ammonites, on the hill opposite Jerusalem.
8 He did the same for all his foreign wives who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9 The LORD, therefore, became angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice
10 (for though the LORD had forbidden him this very act of following strange gods, Solomon had not obeyed him).
11 So the LORD said to Solomon: "Since this is what you want, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes which I enjoined on you, I will deprive you of the kingdom and give it to your servant.
12 I will not do this during your lifetime, however, for the sake of your father David; it is your son whom I will deprive.
13 Nor will I take away the whole kingdom. I will leave your son one tribe for the sake of my servant David and of Jerusalem, which I have chosen."
14 The LORD then raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite, who was of the royal line in Edom.
15 Earlier, when David had conquered Edom, Joab, the general of the army, while going to bury the slain, put to death every male in Edom.
16 Joab and all Israel remained there six months until they had killed off every male in Edom.
17 Meanwhile, Hadad, who was only a boy, fled toward Egypt with some Edomite servants of his father.
18 They left Midian and passing through Paran, where they picked up additional men, they went into Egypt to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house, appointed him rations, and assigned him land.
19 Hadad won great favor with Pharaoh, so that he gave him in marriage the sister of Queen Tahpenes, his own wife.
20 Tahpenes' sister bore Hadad a son, Genubath. After his weaning, the queen kept him in Pharaoh's palace, where he then lived with Pharaoh's own sons.
21 When Hadad in Egypt heard that David rested with his ancestors and that Joab, the general of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, "Give me leave to return to my own country."
22 Pharaoh said to him, "What do you lack with me, that you are seeking to return to your own country?" "Nothing," he said, "but please let me go!"
23 God raised up against Solomon another adversary, in Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
24 when David defeated them with slaughter. Rezon gathered men about him and became leader of a band, went to Damascus, settled there, and became king in Damascus.
25 He was an enemy of Israel as long as Solomon lived; this added to the harm done by Hadad, who made a rift in Israel by becoming king over Edom.
26 Solomon's servant Jeroboam, son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah with a widowed mother, Zeruah, also rebelled against the king.
27 This is why he rebelled. King Solomon was building Millo, closing up the breach of his father's City of David.
28 Jeroboam was a man of means, and when Solomon saw that he was also an industrious young man, he put him in charge of the entire labor force of the house of Joseph.
29 At that time Jeroboam left Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the road. The two were alone in the area, and the prophet was wearing a new cloak.
30 Ahijah took off his new cloak, tore it into twelve pieces,
31 and said to Jeroboam: "Take ten pieces for yourself; the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I will tear away the kingdom from Solomon's grasp and will give you ten of the tribes.
32 One tribe shall remain to him for the sake of David my servant, and of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
33 The ten I will give you because he has forsaken me and has worshiped Astarte, goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh, god of Moab, and Milcom, god of the Ammonites; he has not followed my ways or done what is pleasing to me according to my statutes and my decrees, as his father David did.
34 Yet I will not take any of the kingdom from Solomon himself, but will keep him a prince as long as he lives for the sake of my servant David, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and statutes.
35 But I will take the kingdom from his son and will give it to you-- that is, the ten tribes.
36 I will give his son one tribe, that my servant David may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city in which I choose to be honored.
37 I will take you; you shall reign over all that you desire and shall become king of Israel.
38 If, then, you heed all that I command you, follow my ways, and please me by keeping my statutes and my commandments like my servant David, I will be with you. I will establish for you, as I did for David, a lasting dynasty; I will give Israel to you.
39 I will punish David's line for this, but not forever.'"
40 When Solomon tried to have Jeroboam killed for his rebellion, he escapedto King Shishak, in Egypt, where he remained until Solomon's death.
41 The rest of the acts of Solomon, with all his deeds and his wisdom, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of Solomon.
42 The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
43 Solomon rested with his ancestors; he was buried in his father's City of David, and his son Rehoboam succeeded him as king.
1 But king H4428 Solomon H8010 MMS loved H157 many H7227 AFP strange H5237 women H802 GFP , together with H854 the daughter H1323 CFS of Pharaoh H6547 EMS , women of the Moabites H4125 , Ammonites H5984 , Edomites H130 , Zidonians H6722 , and Hittites H2850 ;
2 Of H4480 PREP the nations H1471 D-NMP concerning which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 unto H413 PREP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , Ye shall not H3808 ADV go in H935 to them , neither H3808 NADV shall they H1992 W-PPRO-3MP come in H935 VQY3MP unto you : for surely H403 ADV they will turn away H5186 VHY3MP your heart H3824 after H310 PREP their gods H430 : Solomon H8010 MMS cleaved H1692 VQQ3MS unto these in love H157 .
3 And he had H1961 W-VQY3MS seven H7651 hundred H3967 BFP wives H802 GFP , princesses H8282 , and three H7969 BFS hundred H3967 BFP concubines H6370 : and his wives H802 turned away H5186 his heart H3820 CMS-3MS .
4 For it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when H6256 L-CMS Solomon H8010 MMS was old H2209 , that his wives H802 turned away H5186 VHQ3MP his heart H3824 after H310 PREP other H312 AMP gods H430 EDP : and his heart H3824 was H1961 VQQ3MS not H3808 W-NPAR perfect H8003 with H5973 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS his God H430 NAME-4MP , as was the heart H3824 of David H1732 his father H1 .
5 For Solomon H8010 MMS went H1980 W-VQY3MS after H310 PREP Ashtoreth H6253 the goddess H430 CDP of the Zidonians H6722 , and after H310 Milcom H4445 the abomination H8251 of the Ammonites H5984 .
6 And Solomon H8010 MMS did H6213 W-VQY3MS evil H7451 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , and went not fully H3808 W-NPAR after H310 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , as did David H1732 his father H1 .
7 Then H227 ADV did Solomon H8010 MMS build H1129 a high place H1116 for Chemosh H3645 , the abomination H8251 of Moab H4124 , in the hill H2022 that H834 RPRO is before H5921 PREP Jerusalem H3389 , and for Molech H4432 , the abomination H8251 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 .
8 And likewise H3651 did H6213 VQQ3MS he for all H3605 L-CMS his strange H5237 wives H802 , which burnt incense H6999 and sacrificed H2076 unto their gods H430 .
9 And the LORD H3068 EDS was angry H599 with Solomon H8010 , because H3588 CONJ his heart H3824 was turned H5186 VQQ3MS from M-PREP the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , which had appeared H7200 unto H413 PREP-3MS him twice H6471 ,
10 And had commanded H6680 him concerning H5921 PREP this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS , that he should not H1115 L-NPAR go H1980 after H310 PREP other H312 AMP gods H430 EDP : but he kept H8104 not H3808 W-NPAR that which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS commanded H6680 VPQ3MS .
11 Wherefore the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Solomon H8010 , Forasmuch H3282 ADV as H834 RPRO this H2063 DPRO-3FS is H1961 VQP3FS done of H5973 PREP-2FS thee , and thou hast not H3808 W-NPAR kept H8104 my covenant H1285 B-CFS-1MS and my statutes H2708 , which H834 RPRO I have commanded H6680 thee , I will surely rend H7167 the kingdom H4467 from PREP-2MS thee , and will give H5414 it to thy servant H5650 .
12 Notwithstanding H389 ADV in thy days H3117 I will not H3808 NADV do H6213 it for David thy father\'s sake H4616 L-CONJ : but I will rend H7167 it out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of thy son H1121 .
13 Howbeit H7535 ADV I will not H3808 NADV rend away H7167 all H3605 NMS the kingdom H4467 ; but will give H5414 VQY1MS one H259 MMS tribe H7626 CMS to thy son H1121 for David my servant\'s sake H4616 L-CONJ , and for Jerusalem\'s sake H4616 which H834 RPRO I have chosen H977 .
14 And the LORD H3068 EDS stirred up H6965 an adversary H7854 unto Solomon H8010 , Hadad H1908 the Edomite H130 : he H1931 PPRO-3MS was of the king\'s seed H2233 in Edom H123 .
15 For it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when David H1732 MMS was H1961 in Edom H123 , and Joab H3097 the captain H8269 of the host H6635 was gone up H5927 B-CFP to bury H6912 the slain H2491 , after he had smitten H5221 W-VHY3MS every H3605 NMS male H2145 NMS in Edom H123 ;
16 ( CONJ For CONJ six H8337 months H2320 did Joab H3097 remain H3427 there H8033 ADV with all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 , until H5704 PREP he had cut off H3772 every H3605 NMS male H2145 NMS in Edom H123 : )
17 That Hadad H111 fled H1272 W-VQY3MS , he H1931 PPRO-3MS and certain H376 Edomites H129 of his father\'s servants H5650 with H854 PREP-3MS him , to go H935 L-VQFC into Egypt H4714 ; Hadad H1908 being yet a little H6996 child H5288 .
18 And they arose H6965 out of Midian H4080 , and came H935 W-VQY3MP to Paran H6290 : and they took H3947 W-VQY3MP men H376 with H5973 PREP-3MP them out of Paran H6290 , and they came H935 W-VQY3MP to Egypt H4714 EFS , unto H413 PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS king H4428 NMS of Egypt H4714 EFS ; which gave H5414 W-VQY3MS him a house H1004 , and appointed H559 VQQ3MS him victuals H3899 , and gave H5414 VQQ3MS him land H776 W-NFS .
19 And Hadad H1908 found H4672 W-VQY3MS great H3966 ADV favor H2580 NMS in the sight H5869 B-CMP of Pharaoh H6547 EMS , so that he gave H5414 W-VQY3MS him to wife H802 NFS the sister H269 of his own wife H802 CFS-3MS , the sister H269 of Tahpenes H8472 the queen H1377 .
20 And the sister H269 of Tahpenes H8472 bore H3205 W-VQY3FS him Genubath H1592 his son H1121 CMS-3MS , whom Tahpenes H8472 weaned H1580 in H8432 B-NMS Pharaoh H6547 EMS \'s house H1004 CMS : and Genubath H1592 was H1961 W-VQY3MS in Pharaoh H6547 EMS \'s household H1004 CMS among H8432 B-NMS the sons H1121 CMS-3MS of Pharaoh H6547 .
21 And when Hadad H1908 heard H8085 in Egypt H4714 that H3588 CONJ David H1732 MMS slept H7901 VQQ3MS with H5973 PREP his fathers H1 , and that H3588 CONJ Joab H3097 the captain H8269 of the host H6635 was dead H4191 , Hadad H1908 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Pharaoh H6547 EMS , Let me depart H7971 , that I may go H1980 to H413 PREP mine own country H776 .
22 Then Pharaoh H6547 EMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , But H3588 CONJ what H4100 IGAT hast thou H859 PPRO-2MS lacked H2638 with H5973 me , that , behold H2009 , thou seekest H1245 to go H1980 L-VQFC to H413 PREP thine own country H776 NFS-2MS ? And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , Nothing H3808 NPAR : howbeit H3588 CONJ let me go in any wise H7971 .
23 And God H430 EDP stirred him up H6965 another adversary H7854 , Rezon H7331 the son H1121 of Eliadah H450 , which H834 RPRO fled H1272 from his lord H113 Hadadezer H1909 king H4428 NMS of Zobah H6678 :
24 And he gathered H6908 men H376 NMP unto H5921 PREP-3MS him , and became H1961 W-VQY3MS captain H8269 over a band H1416 , when David H1732 MMS slew H2026 them of Zobah : and they went H1980 W-VQY3MP to Damascus H1834 , and dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MP therein , and reigned H4427 in Damascus H1834 .
25 And he was H1961 W-VQY3MS an adversary H7854 to Israel H3478 all H3605 NMS the days H3117 CMP of Solomon H8010 MMS , beside H854 W-PART the mischief H7451 D-AFS that H834 RPRO Hadad H1908 did : and he abhorred H6973 Israel H3478 , and reigned H4427 over H5921 PREP Syria H758 .
26 And Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028 , an Ephrathite H673 of H4480 PREP Zereda H6868 , Solomon H8010 \'s servant H5650 NMS , whose mother H517 GFS-3MS \'s name H8034 W-CMS was Zeruah H6871 , a widow H490 NFS woman H802 NFS , even he lifted up H7311 his hand H3027 NFS against the king H4428 .
27 And this H2088 W-PMS was the cause H1697 D-NMS that H834 RPRO he lifted up H7311 his hand H3027 NFS against the king H4428 : Solomon H8010 MMS built H1129 VQQ3MS Millo H4407 , and repaired H5462 VQQ3MS the breaches H6556 of the city H5892 GFS of David H1732 MMS his father H1 .
28 And the man H376 Jeroboam H3379 was a mighty H1368 AMS man of valor H2428 : and Solomon H8010 MMS seeing H7200 W-VIY3MS the young man H5288 that H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS was industrious H6213 , he made him ruler H6485 over all H3605 L-CMS the charge H5447 of the house H1004 CMS of Joseph H3130 .
29 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS at that H1931 time H6256 when Jeroboam H3379 went out H3318 VQQ3MS of Jerusalem H3389 , that the prophet H5030 Ahijah H281 the Shilonite H7888 found H4672 W-VQY3MS him in the way H1870 ; and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS had clad himself H3680 with a new H2319 garment H8008 ; and they two H8147 were alone H905 L-CMS-3MP in the field H7704 :
30 And Ahijah H281 caught H8610 the new H2319 garment H8008 that H834 RPRO was on H5921 PREP-3MS him , and rent H7167 it in twelve H8147 pieces H7168 :
31 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS to Jeroboam H3379 , Take H3947 VQI2MS thee ten H6235 pieces H7168 : for H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , Behold H2009 , I will rend H7167 the kingdom H4467 out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of Solomon H8010 MMS , and will give H5414 ten H6235 tribes H7626 to thee :
32 (But he shall have H1961 VQY3MS one H259 tribe H7626 for my servant David\'s sake H4616 L-CONJ , and for Jerusalem\'s sake H4616 , the city H5892 D-GFS which H834 RPRO I have chosen H977 out of all H3605 M-CMS the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 LMS : )
33 Because H3282 ADV that H834 RPRO they have forsaken H5800 me , and have worshiped H7812 Ashtoreth H6253 the goddess H430 CDP of the Zidonians H6721 , Chemosh H3645 the god H430 CDP of the Moabites H4124 , and Milcom H4445 the god H430 CDP of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 , and have not H3808 W-NPAR walked H1980 VQQ3MP in my ways H1870 , to do H6213 L-VQFC 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 W-NPAR take H3947 VQY1MS the whole H3605 NMS kingdom H4467 out of his hand H3027 M-CFS-3MS : but H3588 CONJ I will make H7896 him prince H5387 all H3605 NMS the days H3117 CMP of his life H2416 for David my servant\'s sake H4616 L-CONJ , whom H834 RPRO I chose H977 , because H834 RPRO 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 H3027 M-GFS , and will give H5414 it unto thee , even ten H6235 tribes H7626 .
36 And unto his son H1121 will I give H5414 VQY1MS one H259 MMS tribe H7626 , that H4616 L-CONJ David H1732 my servant H5650 CMS-1MS may have H1961 a light H5216 always H3605 CMS before H6440 L-CMP me in Jerusalem H3389 , the city H5892 D-GFS which H834 RPRO I have chosen H977 me to put H7760 L-VQFC my name H8034 there H8033 ADV .
37 And I will take H3947 VQY1MS thee , and thou shalt reign H4427 according to all H3605 that H834 RPRO thy soul H5315 desireth H183 , and shalt be H1961 W-VQQ2MS king H4428 over H5921 PREP Israel H3478 LMS .
38 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , if H518 PART thou wilt hearken unto H8085 all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO 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 W-CFP-1MS , as H834 RPRO David H1732 L-NAME my servant H5650 CMS-1MS did H6213 VQQ3MS ; that I will be H1961 W-VQQ3MS with H5973 PREP-2FS thee , and build H1129 thee a sure H539 house H1004 , as H834 RPRO I built H1129 for David H1732 L-NAME , and will give H5414 Israel H3478 LMS unto thee .
39 And I will for H4616 L-CONJ this H2063 DPRO afflict H6031 the seed H2233 NMS of David H1732 MMS , but H389 ADV not H3808 NADV forever H3117 D-NMP .
40 Solomon H8010 MMS sought H1245 therefore to kill H4191 Jeroboam H3379 . And Jeroboam H3379 arose H6965 W-VQY3MS , and fled H1272 W-VQY3MS into Egypt H4714 EFS , unto H413 PREP Shishak H7895 king H4428 NMS of Egypt H4714 EFS , and was H1961 W-VQY3MS in Egypt H4714 until H5704 PREP the death H4194 of Solomon H8010 .
