11_1KI_11_01 but king Solomon loved Many strange women , together with the daughter of Pharaoh , women of the Moabites , Ammonites , Edomites , Zidonians , [ And ] Hittites ;
11_1KI_11_02 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 .
11_1KI_11_03 And he had seven hundred wives , princesses , And three hundred concubines : And his wives turned away his heart .
11_1KI_11_04 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 .
11_1KI_11_05 for Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians , And after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites .
11_1KI_11_06 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD , And went not fully after the LORD , as [ did ] David his Father .
11_1KI_11_07 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 .
11_1KI_11_08 And Likewise did he for all his strange wives , which burnt incense And sacrificed unto their gods .
11_1KI_11_09 And the LORD was angry with Solomon , because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel , which had appeared unto him twice ,
11_1KI_11_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_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon , Hadad the Edomite : he [ was ] of the king's seed in Edom .
11_1KI_11_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 ;
11_1KI_11_16 [ for six months did Joab remain there with all Israel , until he had cut off every male in Edom : ]
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_23 And God stirred him up [ another ] adversary , Rezon the son of Eliadah , which fled from his LORD Hadadezer king of Zobah :
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 :
11_1KI_11_30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that [ was ] on him , And rent it [ in ] twelve pieces :
11_1KI_11_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 :
11_1KI_11_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 : ]
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 :
11_1KI_11_35 but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand , And will give it unto thee , [ even ] ten tribes .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_37 And I will take thee , And thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth , And shalt be king over Israel .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David , but not for ever .
11_1KI_11_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 .
11_1KI_11_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 ?
11_1KI_11_42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [ was ] forty years .
11_1KI_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 stead .
