1 Kings 11:1-16

11:1

But king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

loved
<0157> (8804)

many
<07227>

strange
<05237>

women
<0802>_,

together with the daughter
<01323>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

women of the Moabites
<04125>_,

Ammonites
<05984>_,

Edomites
<0130>_,

Zidonians
<06722>_,

[and] Hittites
<02850>_;

{together...: or, beside}

11:2

Of the nations
<01471>

[concerning] which the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Ye shall not go in
<0935> (8799)

to them, neither shall they come in
<0935> (8799)

unto you: [for] surely
<0403>

they will turn away
<05186> (8686)

your heart
<03824>

after
<0310>

their gods
<0430>_:

Solomon
<08010>

clave
<01692> (8804)

unto these in love
<0157> (8800)_.

11:3

And he had seven
<07651>

hundred
<03967>

wives
<0802>_,

princesses
<08282>_,

and three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

concubines
<06370>_:

and his wives
<0802>

turned away
<05186> (8686)

his heart
<03820>_.

11:4

For it came to pass, when
<06256>

Solomon
<08010>

was old
<02209>_,

[that] his wives
<0802>

turned away
<05186> (8689)

his heart
<03824>

after
<0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_:

and his heart
<03824>

was not perfect
<08003>

with the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_,

as [was] the heart
<03824>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_.

11:5

For Solomon
<08010>

went
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

Ashtoreth
<06253>

the goddess
<0430>

of the Zidonians
<06722>_,

and after
<0310>

Milcom
<04445>

the abomination
<08251>

of the Ammonites
<05984>_.

{Milcom: also called, Molech}

11:6

And Solomon
<08010>

did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and went not fully
<04390> (8765)

after
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

as [did] David
<01732>

his father
<01>_.

{went...: Heb. fulfilled not after}

11:7

Then did Solomon
<08010>

build
<01129> (8799)

an high place
<01116>

for Chemosh
<03645>_,

the abomination
<08251>

of Moab
<04124>_,

in the hill
<02022>

that [is] before
<06440>

Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and for Molech
<04432>_,

the abomination
<08251>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:8

And likewise did
<06213> (8804)

he for all his strange
<05237>

wives
<0802>_,

which burnt incense
<06999> (8688)

and sacrificed
<02076> (8764)

unto their gods
<0430>_.

11:9

And the LORD
<03068>

was angry
<0599> (8691)

with Solomon
<08010>_,

because his heart
<03824>

was turned
<05186> (8804)

from the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which had appeared
<07200> (8738)

unto him twice
<06471>_,

11:10

And had commanded
<06680> (8765)

him concerning this thing
<01697>_,

that he should not go
<03212> (8800)

after
<0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_:

but he kept
<08104> (8804)

not that which the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_.

11:11

Wherefore the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Solomon
<08010>_,

Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept
<08104> (8804)

my covenant
<01285>

and my statutes
<02708>_,

which I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee, I will surely
<07167> (8800)

rend
<07167> (8799)

the kingdom
<04467>

from thee, and will give
<05414> (8804)

it to thy servant
<05650>_.

{is done...: Heb. is with thee}

11:12

Notwithstanding in thy days
<03117>

I will not do
<06213> (8799)

it for David
<01732>

thy father's
<01>

sake: [but] I will rend
<07167> (8799)

it out of the hand
<03027>

of thy son
<01121>_.

11:13

Howbeit
<07535>

I will not rend away
<07167> (8799)

all the kingdom
<04467>_;

[but] will give
<05414> (8799)

one
<0259>

tribe
<07626>

to thy son
<01121>

for David
<01732>

my servant's
<05650>

sake, and for Jerusalem's
<03389>

sake which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_.

11:14

And the LORD
<03068>

stirred up
<06965> (8686)

an adversary
<07854>

unto Solomon
<08010>_,

Hadad
<01908>

the Edomite
<0130>_:

he [was] of the king's
<04428>

seed
<02233>

in Edom
<0123>_.

11:15

For it came to pass, when David
<01732>

was in Edom
<0123>_,

and Joab
<03097>

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>

was gone up
<05927> (8800)

to bury
<06912> (8763)

the slain
<02491>_,

after he had smitten
<05221> (8686)

every male
<02145>

in Edom
<0123>_;

11:16

(For six
<08337>

months
<02320>

did Joab
<03097>

remain
<03427> (8804)

there with all Israel
<03478>_,

until he had cut off
<03772> (8689)

every male
<02145>

in Edom
<0123>:)
