Chapter 11
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.
