11:1 Now
King
Solomon
loved
many
foreign
women,
along
with
the
daughter
of
Pharaoh:
Moabite,
Ammonite,
Edomite,
Sidonian,
and
Hittite
women,
11:2 from
the
nations
concerning
which
the
LORD
had
said
to
the
people
of
Israel,
"You
shall
not
enter
into
marriage
with
them,
neither
shall
they
with
you,
for
surely
they
will
turn
away
your
heart
after
their
gods."
Solomon
clung
to
these
in
love.
11:3 He
had
700
wives,
princesses,
and
300
concubines.
And
his
wives
turned
away
his
heart.
11:4 For
when
Solomon
was
old
his
wives
turned
away
his
heart
after
other
gods,
and
his
heart
was
not
wholly
true
to
the
LORD
his
God,
as
was
the
heart
of
David
his
father.
11:5 For
Solomon
went
after
Ashtoreth
the
goddess
of
the
Sidonians,
and
after
Milcom
the
abomination
of
the
Ammonites.
11:6 So
Solomon
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD
and
did
not
wholly
follow
the
LORD,
as
David
his
father
had
done.
11:7 Then
Solomon
built
a
high
place
for
Chemosh
the
abomination
of
Moab,
and
for
Molech
the
abomination
of
the
Ammonites,
on
the
mountain
east
of
Jerusalem.
11:8 And
so
he
did
for
all
his
foreign
wives,
who
made
offerings
and
sacrificed
to
their
gods.
11:9 And
the
LORD
was
angry
with
Solomon,
because
his
heart
had
turned
away
from
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
who
had
appeared
to
him
twice
11:10 and
had
commanded
him
concerning
this
thing,
that
he
should
not
go
after
other
gods.
But
he
did
not
keep
what
the
LORD
commanded.
11:11 Therefore
the
LORD
said
to
Solomon,
"Since
this
has
been
your
practice
and
you
have
not
kept
my
covenant
and
my
statutes
that
I
have
commanded
you,
I
will
surely
tear
the
kingdom
from
you
and
will
give
it
to
your
servant.
11:12 Yet
for
the
sake
of
David
your
father
I
will
not
do
it
in
your
days,
but
I
will
tear
it
out
of
the
hand
of
your
son.
11:13 However,
I
will
not
tear
away
all
the
kingdom,
but
I
will
give
one
tribe
to
your
son,
for
the
sake
of
David
my
servant
and
for
the
sake
of
Jerusalem
that
I
have
chosen."
11:14 And
the
LORD
raised
up
an
adversary
against
Solomon,
Hadad
the
Edomite.
He
was
of
the
royal
house
in
Edom.
11:15 For
when
David
was
in
Edom,
and
Joab
the
commander
of
the
army
went
up
to
bury
the
slain,
he
struck
down
every
male
in
Edom
11:16 (for
Joab
and
all
Israel
remained
there
six
months,
until
he
had
cut
off
every
male
in
Edom).
11:17 But
Hadad
fled
to
Egypt,
together
with
certain
Edomites
of
his
father's
servants,
Hadad
still
being
a
little
child.
11:18 They
set
out
from
Midian
and
came
to
Paran
and
took
men
with
them
from
Paran
and
came
to
Egypt,
to
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
who
gave
him
a
house
and
assigned
him
an
allowance
of
food
and
gave
him
land.
11:19 And
Hadad
found
great
favor
in
the
sight
of
Pharaoh,
so
that
he
gave
him
in
marriage
the
sister
of
his
own
wife,
the
sister
of
Tahpenes
the
queen.
11:20 And
the
sister
of
Tahpenes
bore
him
Genubath
his
son,
whom
Tahpenes
weaned
in
Pharaoh's
house.
And
Genubath
was
in
Pharaoh's
house
among
the
sons
of
Pharaoh.
11:21 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,
"Let
me
depart,
that
I
may
go
to
my
own
country."
11:22 But
Pharaoh
said
to
him,
"What
have
you
lacked
with
me
that
you
are
now
seeking
to
go
to
your
own
country"
And
he
said
to
him,
"Only
let
me
depart."
11:23 God
also
raised
up
as
an
adversary
to
him,
Rezon
the
son
of
Eliada,
who
had
fled
from
his
master
Hadadezer
king
of
Zobah.
11:24 And
he
gathered
men
about
him
and
became
leader
of
a
marauding
band,
after
the
killing
by
David.
And
they
went
to
Damascus
and
lived
there
and
made
him
king
in
Damascus.
11:25 He
was
an
adversary
of
Israel
all
the
days
of
Solomon,
doing
harm
as
Hadad
did.
And
he
loathed
Israel
and
reigned
over
Syria.
11:26 Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat,
an
Ephraimite
of
Zeredah,
a
servant
of
Solomon,
whose
mother's
name
was
Zeruah,
a
widow,
also
lifted
up
his
hand
against
the
king.
11:27 And
this
was
the
reason
why
he
lifted
up
his
hand
against
the
king.
Solomon
built
the
Millo,
and
closed
up
the
breach
of
the
city
of
David
his
father.
11:28 The
man
Jeroboam
was
very
able,
and
when
Solomon
saw
that
the
young
man
was
industrious
he
gave
him
charge
over
all
the
forced
labor
of
the
house
of
Joseph.
11:29 And
at
that
time,
when
Jeroboam
went
out
of
Jerusalem,
the
prophet
Ahijah
the
Shilonite
found
him
on
the
road.
Now
Ahijah
had
dressed
himself
in
a
new
garment,
and
the
two
of
them
were
alone
in
the
open
country.
11:30 Then
Ahijah
laid
hold
of
the
new
garment
that
was
on
him,
and
tore
it
into
twelve
pieces.
11:31 And
he
said
to
Jeroboam,
"Take
for
yourself
ten
pieces,
for
thus
says
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
'Behold,
I
am
about
to
tear
the
kingdom
from
the
hand
of
Solomon
and
will
give
you
ten
tribes
11:32 (but
he
shall
have
one
tribe,
for
the
sake
of
my
servant
David
and
for
the
sake
of
Jerusalem,
the
city
that
I
have
chosen
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel),
11:33 because
they
have
forsaken
me
and
worshiped
Ashtoreth
the
goddess
of
the
Sidonians,
Chemosh
the
god
of
Moab,
and
Milcom
the
god
of
the
Ammonites,
and
they
have
not
walked
in
my
ways,
doing
what
is
right
in
my
sight
and
keeping
my
statutes
and
my
rules,
as
David
his
father
did.
11:34 Nevertheless,
I
will
not
take
the
whole
kingdom
out
of
his
hand,
but
I
will
make
him
ruler
all
the
days
of
his
life,
for
the
sake
of
David
my
servant
whom
I
chose,
who
kept
my
commandments
and
my
statutes.
11:35 But
I
will
take
the
kingdom
out
of
his
son's
hand
and
will
give
it
to
you,
ten
tribes.
11:36 Yet
to
his
son
I
will
give
one
tribe,
that
David
my
servant
may
always
have
a
lamp
before
me
in
Jerusalem,
the
city
where
I
have
chosen
to
put
my
name.
11:37 And
I
will
take
you,
and
you
shall
reign
over
all
that
your
soul
desires,
and
you
shall
be
king
over
Israel.
11:38 And
if
you
will
listen
to
all
that
I
command
you,
and
will
walk
in
my
ways,
and
do
what
is
right
in
my
eyes
by
keeping
my
statutes
and
my
commandments,
as
David
my
servant
did,
I
will
be
with
you
and
will
build
you
a
sure
house,
as
I
built
for
David,
and
I
will
give
Israel
to
you.
11:39 And
I
will
afflict
the
offspring
of
David
because
of
this,
but
not
forever.'"
11:40 Solomon
sought
therefore
to
kill
Jeroboam.
But
Jeroboam
arose
and
fled
into
Egypt,
to
Shishak
king
of
Egypt,
and
was
in
Egypt
until
the
death
of
Solomon.
11:41 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
11:42 And
the
time
that
Solomon
reigned
in
Jerusalem
over
all
Israel
was
forty
years.
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
place.
