1 Kings 11:1-28

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>:)

11:17

That Hadad
<0111>

fled
<01272> (8799)_,

he and certain
<0582>

Edomites
<0130>

of his father's
<01>

servants
<05650>

with him, to go
<0935> (8800)

into Egypt
<04714>_;

Hadad
<01908>

[being] yet a little
<06996>

child
<05288>_.

11:18

And they arose
<06965> (8799)

out of Midian
<04080>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Paran
<06290>_:

and they took
<03947> (8799)

men
<0582>

with them out of Paran
<06290>_,

and they came
<0935> (8799)

to Egypt
<04714>_,

unto Pharaoh
<06547>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_;

which gave
<05414> (8799)

him an house
<01004>_,

and appointed
<0559> (8804)

him victuals
<03899>_,

and gave
<05414> (8804)

him land
<0776>_.

11:19

And Hadad
<01908>

found
<04672> (8799)

great
<03966>

favour
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

so that he gave
<05414> (8799)

him to wife
<0802>

the sister
<0269>

of his own wife
<0802>_,

the sister
<0269>

of Tahpenes
<08472>

the queen
<01377>_.

11:20

And the sister
<0269>

of Tahpenes
<08472>

bare
<03205> (8799)

him Genubath
<01592>

his son
<01121>_,

whom Tahpenes
<08472>

weaned
<01580> (8799)

in
<08432>

Pharaoh's
<06547>

house
<01004>_:

and Genubath
<01592>

was in Pharaoh's
<06547>

household
<01004>

among
<08432>

the sons
<01121>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_.

11:21

And when Hadad
<01908>

heard
<08085> (8804)

in Egypt
<04714>

that David
<01732>

slept
<07901> (8804)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and that Joab
<03097>

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

Hadad
<01908>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Pharaoh
<06547>_,

Let me depart
<07971> (8761)_,

that I may go
<03212> (8799)

to mine own country
<0776>_.

{Let...: Heb. Send me away}

11:22

Then Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, But what hast thou lacked
<02638>

with me, that, behold, thou seekest
<01245> (8764)

to go
<03212> (8800)

to thine own country
<0776>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Nothing: howbeit let me go
<07971> (8762)

in any wise
<07971> (8763)_.

{Nothing: Heb. Not}

11:23

And God
<0430>

stirred him up
<06965> (8686)

[another] adversary
<07854>_,

Rezon
<07331>

the son
<01121>

of Eliadah
<0450>_,

which fled
<01272> (8804)

from his lord
<0113>

Hadadezer
<01909>

king
<04428>

of Zobah
<06678>_:

11:24

And he gathered
<06908> (8799)

men
<0582>

unto him, and became captain
<08269>

over a band
<01416>_,

when David
<01732>

slew
<02026> (8800)

them [of Zobah]: and they went
<03212> (8799)

to Damascus
<01834>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

therein, and reigned
<04427> (8799)

in Damascus
<01834>_.

11:25

And he was an adversary
<07854>

to Israel
<03478>

all the days
<03117>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

beside the mischief
<07451>

that Hadad
<01908>

[did]: and he abhorred
<06973> (8799)

Israel
<03478>_,

and reigned
<04427> (8799)

over Syria
<0758>_.

11:26

And Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

an Ephrathite
<0673>

of Zereda
<06868>_,

Solomon's
<08010>

servant
<05650>_,

whose mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Zeruah
<06871>_,

a widow
<0490>

woman
<0802>_,

even he lifted up
<07311> (8686)

[his] hand
<03027>

against the king
<04428>_.

11:27

And this [was] the cause
<01697>

that he lifted up
<07311> (8689)

[his] hand
<03027>

against the king
<04428>_:

Solomon
<08010>

built
<01129> (8804)

Millo
<04407>_,

[and] repaired
<05462> (8804)

the breaches
<06556>

of the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_.

{repaired: Heb. closed}

11:28

And the man
<0376>

Jeroboam
<03379>

[was] a mighty man
<01368>

of valour
<02428>_:

and Solomon
<08010>

seeing
<07200> (8799)

the young man
<05288>

that he was industrious
<06213> (8802) <04399>_,

he made him ruler
<06485> (8686)

over all the charge
<05447>

of the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>_.

{was industrious: Heb. did work} {charge: Heb. burden}
