Chapter 11
But
King
Solomon
loued
many
strange
women,
(together
with
ye
daughter
of
Pharaoh)
women
of
the
Moabites,
Ammonites,
Edomites,
Sidonians
&
Hittites:
2
Of
the
nations
concerning
which
the
Lord
said
vnto
the
children
of
Israel,
Yee
shall
not
goe
in
to
them,
neither
shall
they
come
in
vnto
you,
for
surely
they
will
turne
away
your
heart
after
their
gods:
Solomon
claue
vnto
these
in
loue.
3
And
he
had
seuen
hundred
wiues,
Princesses,
and
three
hundred
concubines:
and
his
wiues
turned
away
his
heart.
4
For
it
came
to
passe
when
Solomon
was
old,
that
his
wiues
turned
away
his
heart
after
other
gods:
and
his
heart
was
not
perfect
with
the
Lord
his
God,
as
was
the
heart
of
Dauid
his
father.
5
For
Solomon
went
after
Ashtoreth
the
goddesse
of
the
Zidonians,
and
after
Milcom
the
abomination
of
the
Amorites.
6
And
Solomon
did
euill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
and
went
not
fully
after
the
Lord,
as
did
Dauid
his
father.
7
Then
did
Solomon
build
an
hie
place
for
Chemosh
the
abomination
of
Moab,
in
the
hill
that
is
before
Ierusalem,
and
for
Molech
the
abomination
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
8
And
likewise
did
hee
for
all
his
strange
wiues,
which
burnt
incense
and
sacrificed
vnto
their
gods.
9
And
the
Lord
was
angry
with
Solomon,
because
his
heart
was
turned
from
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
which
had
appeared
vnto
him
twise,
10
And
had
commaunded
him
concerning
this
thing,
that
hee
should
not
goe
after
other
gods:
but
hee
kept
not
that
which
the
Lord
commanded.
11
Wherefore
the
Lord
said
vnto
Solomon;
Forasmuch
as
this
is
done
of
thee,
and
thou
hast
not
kept
my
Couenant,
and
my
Statutes
which
I
haue
commanded
thee,
I
wil
surely
rend
the
kingdome
from
thee,
and
will
giue
it
to
thy
seruant.
12
Notwithstanding
in
thy
dayes
I
wil
not
doe
it,
for
Dauid
thy
fathers
sake:
but
I
wil
rend
it
out
of
the
hand
of
thy
sonne.
13
Howbeit,
I
wil
not
rend
away
all
the
kingdome:
but
wil
giue
one
tribe
to
thy
sonne,
for
Dauid
my
seruants
sake,
and
for
Ierusalems
sake,
which
I
haue
chosen.
14
And
the
Lord
stirred
vp
an
aduersary
vnto
Solomon,
Hadad
the
Edomite:
hee
was
of
the
kings
seed
in
Edom.
15
For
it
came
to
passe
when
Dauid
was
in
Edom,
and
Ioab
the
captaine
of
the
host
was
gone
vp
to
bury
the
slaine,
after
he
had
smitten
euery
male
in
Edom:
16
(For
sixe
moneths
did
Ioab
remaine
there
with
all
Israel,
vntil
hee
had
cut
off
euery
male
in
Edom.)
17
That
Hadad
fled,
he
and
certaine
Edomites
of
his
fathers
seruants
with
him,
to
goe
into
Egypt:
Hadad
being
yet
a
litle
childe.
18
And
they
arose
out
of
Midian,
and
came
to
Paran,
and
they
tooke
men
with
them
out
of
Paran,
and
they
came
to
Egypt,
vnto
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
which
gaue
him
an
house,
and
appointed
him
vitailes,
and
gaue
him
land.
19
And
Hadad
found
great
fauour
in
the
sight
of
Pharaoh,
so
that
he
gaue
him
to
wife
the
sister
of
his
owne
wife,
the
sister
of
Tahpenes
the
Queene.
20
And
the
sister
of
Tahpenes
bare
him
Genubath
his
sonne,
whom
Tahpenes
weaned
in
Pharaohs
house:
and
Genubath
was
in
Pharaohs
houshold
among
the
sonnes
of
Pharaoh.
21
And
when
Hadad
heard
in
Egypt
that
Dauid
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
that
Ioab
the
captaine
of
the
host
was
dead,
Hadad
said
to
Pharaoh,
Let
me
depart,
that
I
may
go
to
mine
owne
countrey.
22
Then
Pharaoh
said
vnto
him,
But
what
hast
thou
lacked
with
mee,
that,
behold,
thou
seekest
to
goe
to
thine
owne
countrey?
And
hee
answered,
Nothing:
Howbeit,
let
mee
goe
in
any
wise.
23
And
God
stirred
him
vp
another
aduersary:
Rezon,
the
sonne
of
Eliadah,
which
fled
from
his
lord
Hadadezer
king
of
Zobah:
24
And
he
gathered
men
vnto
him,
and
became
captaine
ouer
a
band,
when
Dauid
slew
them
of
Zobah:
and
they
went
to
Damascus,
and
dwelt
therein,
and
reigned
in
Damascus.
25
And
he
was
an
aduersarie
to
Israel
all
the
dayes
of
Solomon,
beside
the
mischiefe
that
Hadad
did:
and
he
abhorred
Israel,
and
reigned
ouer
Syria.
26
And
Ieroboam
the
sonne
of
Nebat,
an
Ephrathite
of
Zereda,
Solomons
seruant,
(whose
mothers
name
was
Zeruah
a
widow
woman)
euen
he
lift
vp
his
hand
against
the
king.
27
And
this
was
the
cause
that
hee
lift
vp
his
hand
against
the
king:
Solomon
built
Millo,
and
repaired
the
breaches
of
the
citie
of
Dauid
his
father.
28
And
the
man
Ieroboam
was
a
mightie
man
of
valour:
and
Solomon
seeing
the
young
man
that
he
was
industrious,
hee
made
him
ruler
ouer
all
the
charge
of
the
house
of
Ioseph.
29
And
it
came
to
passe
at
that
time
when
Ieroboam
went
out
of
Ierusalem,
that
the
Prophet
Ahiiah
the
Shilonite
found
him
in
the
way:
and
hee
had
clad
himselfe
with
a
new
garment;
and
they
two
were
alone
in
the
field.
30
And
Ahiiah
caught
the
new
garment
that
was
on
him,
and
rent
it
in
twelue
pieces.
31
And
he
said
to
Ieroboam,
Take
thee
tenne
pieces:
for
thus
sayth
the
Lord
the
God
of
Israel,
Behold,
I
will
rent
the
kingdome
out
of
the
hand
of
Solomon,
and
will
giue
ten
tribes
to
thee:
32
(But
hee
shall
haue
one
tribe,
for
my
seruant
Dauids
sake,
and
for
Ierusalems
sake,
the
citie
which
I
haue
chosen
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel:)
33
Because
that
they
haue
forsaken
mee,
and
haue
worshipped
Ashtaroth
the
goddesse
of
the
Zidonians,
Chemosh
the
god
of
the
Moabites,
and
Milcom
the
god
of
the
children
of
Anunon,
and
haue
not
walked
in
my
wayes,
to
doe
that
which
is
right
in
mine
eyes,
and
to
keepe
my
Statutes,
and
my
Iudgements,
as
did
Dauid
his
father.
34
Howbeit,
I
will
not
take
the
whole
kingdome
out
of
his
hand:
but
I
will
make
him
Prince
all
the
dayes
of
his
life,
for
Dauid
my
seruants
sake,
whom
I
chose,
because
hee
kept
my
Commandements
and
my
Statutes:
35
But
I
will
take
the
kingdome
out
of
his
sonnes
hand,
and
will
giue
it
vnto
thee,
euen
ten
tribes.
36
And
vnto
his
sonne
will
I
giue
one
tribe,
that
Dauid
my
seruant
may
haue
a
light
alway
before
me
in
Ierusalem,
the
citie
which
I
haue
chosen
me
to
put
my
Name
there.
37
And
I
will
take
thee,
and
thou
shalt
reigne
according
to
all
that
thy
soule
desireth,
and
shalt
be
King
ouer
Israel.
38
And
it
shall
be,
if
thou
wilt
hearken
vnto
all
that
I
command
thee,
and
wilt
walke
in
my
wayes,
and
doe
that
is
right
in
my
sight,
to
keepe
my
Statutes
and
my
Commandements,
as
Dauid
my
seruant
did;
that
I
will
be
with
thee,
and
build
thee
a
sure
house,
as
I
built
for
Dauid,
and
will
giue
Israel
vnto
thee.
39
And
I
will
for
this
afflict
the
seed
of
Dauid,
but
not
for
euer.
40
Solomon
sought
therefore
to
kill
Ieroboam,
and
Ieroboam
arose,
and
fledde
into
Egypt,
vnto
Shishak
king
of
Egypt,
and
was
in
Egypt
vntill
the
death
of
Solomon.
41
And
the
rest
of
the
actes
of
Solomon,
and
all
that
he
did,
and
his
wisedome,
are
they
not
written
in
the
booke
of
the
actes
of
Solomon?
42
And
the
time
that
Solomon
reigned
in
Ierusalem,
ouer
all
Israel,
was
fourtie
yeeres.
43
And
Solomon
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
in
the
citie
of
Dauid
his
father:
and
Rehoboam
his
sonne
reigned
in
his
stead.
