Berean Standard Bible
And
king Solomon hath
loved many strange
women ,
and
the daughter of Pharaoh ,
females
of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Zidon,
`
and '
of
the
Hittites
,
King Solomon ,
however,
loved many foreign
women along
with
the daughter of Pharaoh —women
of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and Sidon
, as
well
as
Hittite
women.
of
the nations of
which Jehovah
said
unto
the sons
of
Israel
, `Ye
do
not go
in
to
them, and
they
do
not
go
in
to
you;
surely they turn aside
your heart
after their gods ;'
to
them
hath
Solomon cleaved
for
love.
These
women
were
from
the nations about
which the LORD
had
told
the
Israelites
, “You
must
not intermarry
with
them, for
surely they will
turn your hearts
after their gods .”
Yet
Solomon clung
to
these
women
in
love.
And
he hath
women,
princesses,
seven hundred ,
and concubines
three hundred ;
and his wives turn
aside
his heart.
He had
seven hundred wives
of
royal
birth
and three hundred concubines—
and his wives turned
his heart away
.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
the
time
of
the
old
age
of
Solomon, his wives have
turned aside
his heart after other gods, and his
heart
hath
not been
perfect
with
Jehovah
his God, like
the
heart
of
David
his father.
For
when
Solomon grew
old
, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and he
was
not wholeheartedly
devoted
to
the
LORD
his God, as
his father David
had
been
.
And
Solomon goeth
after
Ashtoreth god`dess'
of the Zidonians,
and after
Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites ;
Solomon followed
Ashtoreth the
goddess
of the Sidonians
and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites .
and
Solomon doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah,
and
hath
not
been
fully
after
Jehovah,
like
David
his father.
So
Solomon did
evil in the sight
of the
LORD;
unlike
his father David,
he
did
not
follow
the
LORD
completely
.
Then
doth
Solomon build
a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab ,
in
the
hill
that
`is'
on
the
front
of
Jerusalem,
and for Molech the abomination of the sons
of
Ammon;
At
that
time
on
a
hill
east
of
Jerusalem,
Solomon built
a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites.
and
so
he hath
done
for all his strange
women
, who are
perfuming
and sacrificing
to their gods.
He did
the
same
for all his foreign
wives
, who burned
incense
and sacrificed
to their gods.
And
Jehovah
sheweth
Himself
angry with Solomon, for
his heart hath
turned aside
from Jehovah
, God of Israel, who had appeared unto
him twice ,
Now
the
LORD
grew
angry with Solomon, because
his heart had
turned away
from the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, who had appeared to
him twice .
and
given
a
charge
unto
him
concerning
this
thing,
not to go
after
other gods ;
and
he
hath
not
kept
that
which
Jehovah
commanded
,
Although
He
had
warned
Solomon
explicitly
not to follow
other gods, Solomon
did
not
keep
the
LORD’s
command.
and
Jehovah
saith
to Solomon, `
Because that
this hath
been
with
thee,
and thou
hast
not kept My covenant and My statutes that
I charged
upon
thee
, I surely
rend
the kingdom from thee,
and have
given
it to thy
servant.
Then
the
LORD
said
to Solomon, “
Because you
have
done
this and have
not kept My covenant and My statutes ,
which
I have
commanded
you
, I will
tear
the kingdom away
from you
and give
it to your
servant.
`Only,
in
thy
days
I
do
it
not
, for the sake of David
thy
father; out of the hand of thy
son I
rend
it;
Nevertheless
, for the sake of your
father David,
I
will
not
do
it
during
your
lifetime
; I
will
tear
it
out of the hand of your
son .
only
all
the
kingdom
I do
not rend
away ;
one
tribe
I give to thy
son ,
for the sake of David
My servant ,
and for the sake of Jerusalem, that
I have chosen. '
Yet
I will
not tear
the
whole
kingdom
away from
him.
I will
give one
tribe
to your
son for the sake of My servant David
and for the sake of Jerusalem, which
I have chosen. ”
And
Jehovah
raiseth
up an adversary to
Solomon
, Hadad the Edomite ;
of
the seed
of the
king
`is'
he
in
Edom ;
Then
the
LORD
raised
up against
Solomon
an adversary, Hadad the Edomite ,
from
the royal
line
of Edom .
and
it
cometh
to
pass
, in David's
being
with
Edom, in
the
going
up
of
Joab head
of the host
to bury the slain,
that
he
smiteth
every male in Edom --
Earlier
, when
David
was
in Edom, Joab the
commander
of the army
had
gone
to bury the dead
and
had
struck
down
every male in Edom .
for
six
months
did
Joab abide
there,
and all Israel, till
the
cutting
off
of
every male in Edom --
Joab and all Israel had
stayed
there
six
months
, until
he
had
killed
every male in Edom .
and
Hadad fleeth
, he
and
certain
Edomites
, of
the
servants of his father ,
with
him,
to
go
in
to
Egypt,
and
Hadad
`is'
a
little
youth,
But
Hadad, still
just
a
young
boy
, had
fled
to
Egypt,
along
with
some
Edomites
who
were
servants of his father .
and they
rise
out of
Midian ,
and come
into
Paran ,
and
take
men with them out
of
Paran,
and come
in
to Egypt, unto
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and
he
giveth
to
him
a house ,
and bread
hath
commanded
for
him,
and
land hath
given
to
him.
Hadad
and his
men
set
out from
Midian and went
to
Paran .
They
took
men from
Paran
with them and went
to Egypt, to
Pharaoh king of Egypt, who
gave
Hadad
a house and land and
provided
him with
food
.
And
Hadad findeth
grace
in the eyes
of Pharaoh exceedingly,
and
he giveth
to him a
wife,
the sister of his own wife ,
sister
of
Tahpenes
the
mistress;
There
Hadad found
such
great
favor
in the sight
of Pharaoh that
he gave
to him in
marriage
the sister of Queen
Tahpenes,
his own wife .
and the sister of Tahpenes beareth
to
him
Genubath
his
son ,
and
Tahpenes weaneth
him within
the
house
of
Pharaoh
, and Genubath is
in
the
house
of
Pharaoh
in
the
midst
of
the sons of Pharaoh.
And the sister of Tahpenes bore
Hadad
a
son named
Genubath.
Tahpenes herself
weaned
him in
Pharaoh’s
palace
, and Genubath lived
there
among
the sons of Pharaoh.
And
Hadad hath
heard in Egypt that David hath
lain
with his fathers ,
and that Joab head
of the host
is
dead, and
Hadad
saith
unto
Pharaoh, `Send
me away
, and
I go
unto
my land
. '
When
Hadad heard in Egypt that David had
rested
with his fathers and that Joab ,
the
commander
of the army,
was
dead, he
said
to
Pharaoh, “Let
me go
, that
I may
return
to
my own
country
. ”
And
Pharaoh saith
to
him, `But,
what art
thou
lacking
with me ,
that lo,
thou
art
seeking
to go unto
thine
own land
? '
and
he
saith
, `Nay
, but thou
dost
certainly
send
me away
. '
But
Pharaoh asked
him, “
What have
you
lacked
here
with me that you
suddenly
want
to go back
to
your
own country
? ”
“Nothing
, ”
Hadad
replied
, “
but please
let
me go
. ”
And God raiseth
to
him
an
adversary, Rezon son of Eliadah
, who hath
fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his
lord,
And God raised
up
against
Solomon
another
adversary, Rezon the
son of Eliada
, who had
fled from his
master,
Hadadezer king of Zobah,
and gathereth
unto
himself
men, and
is
head
of
a troop
in
David's
slaying
them,
and they
go
to Damascus, and
dwell
in
it,
and reign
in
Damascus;
and had
gathered
men to
himself.
When
David
killed
the
Zobaites
, Rezon
captained
a band
of
raiders
and went
to Damascus, where
they
settled
and gained
control.
and
he
is
an
adversary
to
Israel
all
the days of Solomon, (besides
the evil
that
Hadad `did'),
and
he
cutteth
off
in
Israel,
and
reigneth
over Aram.
Rezon
was
Israel’s
enemy
throughout
the days of Solomon, adding
to
the trouble
caused
by
Hadad .
So
Rezon
ruled
over Aram with
hostility
toward
Israel
.
And
Jeroboam son of Nebat ,
an Ephrathite
of
Zereda
--
the
name
of
whose mother `is'
Zeruah,
a widow woman
--
servant to
Solomon, he also
lifteth
up
a
hand
against the king ;
Now
Jeroboam son of Nebat was
an Ephraimite
from
Zeredah
whose mother was
a widow named
Zeruah.
Jeroboam
was
a
servant of
Solomon, but
he rebelled
against the king ,
and this `
is '
the thing
`for'
which
he
lifted
up
a
hand
against the king :
Solomon built Millo
--
he
shut
up
the breach
of the city of David
his father ,
and this is the account
of
his
rebellion
against the king .
Solomon had
built the supporting
terraces
and
repaired
the
gap
in
the
wall
of the city of his father David.
and
the
man
Jeroboam `is'
mighty in
valour,
and
Solomon seeth
the young man that
he
is
doing
business
, and
appointeth
him over
all
the burden
of the house of Joseph.
Now
Jeroboam was
a
mighty man
of
valor.
So
when
Solomon noticed
that
the young man was
industrious
, he
put
him in
charge
of
the whole
labor
force
of the house of Joseph.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
that time, that
Jeroboam
hath
gone
out
from
Jerusalem,
and
Ahijah the Shilonite ,
the
prophet,
findeth
him
in
the way,
and
he is
covering
himself with
a new garment;
and both
of them `are'
by
themselves
in a
field ,
During
that time, the
prophet
Ahijah the Shilonite met
Jeroboam
on
the road
as
he was
going
out
of
Jerusalem.
Now
Ahijah
had
wrapped
himself in
a new cloak,
and the
two
of them were
alone
in the
open
field .
and Ahijah layeth
hold on
the new garment
that
`is'
on
him
, and
rendeth
it --
twelve pieces,
And Ahijah took
hold of
the new cloak
he
was
wearing
, tore
it into
twelve pieces,
and saith
to Jeroboam, `
Take to
thee
ten pieces, for thus
said
Jehovah
, God of Israel, lo
, I am
rending
the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and have
given
to
thee
the
ten tribes ,
and said
to Jeroboam, “
Take ten pieces for
yourself
, for this
is
what
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, says:
‘Behold
, I will
tear
the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and I
will
give
you
ten tribes .
and
the
one tribe he
hath
for My servant David's
sake,
and for Jerusalem's
sake, the city which
I have fixed
on,
out of all the tribes of Israel.
But
one tribe will
remain
for the
sake
of
My servant David
and for the
sake of
Jerusalem
, the city I have chosen
out of all the tribes of Israel.
`Because
they have forsaken Me ,
and
bow
themselves
to Ashtoreth ,
god`dess'
of the Zidonians
, to
Chemosh god of Moab
, and to
Milcom god of the sons
of
Ammon,
and
have not walked in My ways, to
do
that
which
`
is '
right in Mine
eyes, and
My statutes and My
judgments, like
David
his
father.
For
they have forsaken Me to worship
Ashtoreth the
goddess
of the Sidonians
, Chemosh the
god of the
Moabites
, and Milcom the
god of the Ammonites.
They
have not walked in My ways, nor
done
what
is right in My
eyes, nor
kept
My statutes and judgments, as
Solomon’s
father David
did
.
`And
I do
not take the whole of
the
kingdom out of his
hand, for
prince
I make
him all days of his life ,
for the sake of David My servant whom I chose ,
who
kept My commands
and My
statutes ;
Nevertheless,
I will
not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s
hand, because
I have
made
him ruler
all the
days of his life for the sake of David My servant ,
whom I chose because
he
kept My commandments
and statutes .
and
I have
taken
the kingdom out
of
the hand of his son ,
and given
it
to thee
--
the
ten
tribes;
But
I will
take
ten
tribes
of
the kingdom from
the hand of his son and give
them
to you.
and
to
his
son
I give one tribe ,
for
there
being
a
lamp
to David
My servant all
the
days
before Me in Jerusalem, the city that
I have
chosen
to
Myself
to put My name there
.
I will
give one tribe to his
son,
so
that
My servant David
will
always
have
a
lamp
before Me in Jerusalem, the city where
I chose
to put My Name.
`And
thee
I take, and thou
hast
reigned
over all that thy
soul
desireth
, and thou
hast
been
king over Israel ;
But
as
for
you,
I will
take you
, and you
shall
reign
over all that your
heart
desires
, and you
will
be
king over Israel .
and
it
hath
been,
if thou
dost
hear
all that I command thee
, and
hast
walked
in My ways, and done
that
which
is right in Mine
eyes,
to keep My statutes and My
commands,
as did
David
My servant, that
I have
been
with thee,
and
have
built
for
thee
a stedfast
house,
as I built for David, and have
given
to
thee
Israel ,
If you
listen
to
all that I command you
, walk
in My ways, and do
what
is right in My
sight
in
order
to keep My statutes and commandments
as My servant David
did
, then
I will
be
with you.
I
will
build
you
a lasting
dynasty
just
as I built for David, and I
will
give
Israel to
you.
and
I
humble
the
seed
of David
for
this ;
only
, not all
the
days
. '
Because
of this, I
will
humble
David’s
descendants—but
not forever
. ’”
And
Solomon seeketh
to put
Jeroboam to
death,
and
Jeroboam riseth
and fleeth
to Egypt, unto
Shishak king of Egypt, and
he is
in
Egypt
till
the death of Solomon.
Solomon therefore
sought
to kill
Jeroboam .
But
Jeroboam arose
and fled
to Egypt, to
Shishak king of Egypt, where
he remained
until
the death of Solomon.
And
the rest of the matters
of Solomon ,
and
all that he did, and
his wisdom ,
are they not written on
the book of the matters
of Solomon?
As
for
the rest of the acts
of Solomon —
all that he did, as
well
as
his wisdom —
are they not written in
the Book of the Acts
of Solomon?
And
the days
that Solomon hath
reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel `are'
forty years ,
Thus
the time
that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was
forty years .
and Solomon lieth
with his fathers ,
and is
buried in the city of David
his father ,
and reign
doth
Rehoboam
his son in his stead
.
And Solomon rested
with his fathers and was
buried in the city of his father David.
And his son Rehoboam
reigned
in his place
.
