1 Kings 11:14-43

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}

11:29

And it came to pass at that time
<06256>

when Jeroboam
<03379>

went out
<03318> (8804)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

that the prophet
<05030>

Ahijah
<0281>

the Shilonite
<07888>

found
<04672> (8799)

him in the way
<01870>_;

and he had clad
<03680> (8693)

himself with a new
<02319>

garment
<08008>_;

and they two
<08147>

[were] alone in the field
<07704>_:

11:30

And Ahijah
<0281>

caught
<08610> (8799)

the new
<02319>

garment
<08008>

that [was] on him, and rent
<07167> (8799)

it [in] twelve
<08147> <06240>

pieces
<07168>_:

11:31

And he said
<0559> (8799)

to Jeroboam
<03379>_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

thee ten
<06235>

pieces
<07168>_:

for thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Behold, I will rend
<07167> (8802)

the kingdom
<04467>

out of the hand
<03027>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

and will give
<05414> (8804)

ten
<06235>

tribes
<07626>

to thee:

11:32

(But he shall have one
<0259>

tribe
<07626>

for my servant
<05650>

David's
<01732>

sake, and for Jerusalem's
<03389>

sake, the city
<05892>

which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)

out of all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>:)

11:33

Because that they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and have worshipped
<07812> (8691)

Ashtoreth
<06253>

the goddess
<0430>

of the Zidonians
<06722>_,

Chemosh
<03645>

the god
<0430>

of the Moabites
<04124>_,

and Milcom
<04445>

the god
<0430>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and have not walked
<01980> (8804)

in my ways
<01870>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

[that which is] right
<03477>

in mine eyes
<05869>_,

and [to keep] my statutes
<02708>

and my judgments
<04941>_,

as [did] David
<01732>

his father
<01>_.

11:34

Howbeit I will not take
<03947> (8799)

the whole kingdom
<04467>

out of his hand
<03027>_:

but I will make
<07896> (8799)

him prince
<05387>

all the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>

for David
<01732>

my servant's
<05650>

sake, whom I chose
<0977> (8804)_,

because he kept
<08104> (8804)

my commandments
<04687>

and my statutes
<02708>_:

11:35

But I will take
<03947> (8804)

the kingdom
<04410>

out of his son's
<01121>

hand
<03027>_,

and will give
<05414> (8804)

it unto thee, [even] ten
<06235>

tribes
<07626>_.

11:36

And unto his son
<01121>

will I give
<05414> (8799)

one
<0259>

tribe
<07626>_,

that David
<01732>

my servant
<05650>

may have a light
<05216>

alway
<03117>

before
<06440>

me in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

the city
<05892>

which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)

me to put
<07760> (8800)

my name
<08034>

there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}

11:37

And I will take
<03947> (8799)

thee, and thou shalt reign
<04427> (8804)

according to all that thy soul
<05315>

desireth
<0183> (8762)_,

and shalt be king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_.

11:38

And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto all that I command
<06680> (8762)

thee, and wilt walk
<01980> (8804)

in my ways
<01870>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

[that is] right
<03477>

in my sight
<05869>_,

to keep
<08104> (8800)

my statutes
<02708>

and my commandments
<04687>_,

as David
<01732>

my servant
<05650>

did
<06213> (8804)_;

that I will be with thee, and build
<01129> (8804)

thee a sure
<0539> (8737)

house
<01004>_,

as I built
<01129> (8804)

for David
<01732>_,

and will give
<05414> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

unto thee.

11:39

And I will for this afflict
<06031> (8762)

the seed
<02233>

of David
<01732>_,

but not for ever
<03117>_.

11:40

Solomon
<08010>

sought
<01245> (8762)

therefore to kill
<04191> (8687)

Jeroboam
<03379>_.

And Jeroboam
<03379>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and fled
<01272> (8799)

into Egypt
<04714>_,

unto Shishak
<07895>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and was in Egypt
<04714>

until the death
<04194>

of Solomon
<08010>_.

11:41

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and his wisdom
<02451>_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the acts
<01697>

of Solomon
<08010>_?

{acts: or, words, or, things}

11:42

And the time
<03117>

that Solomon
<08010>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

over all Israel
<03478>

[was] forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_.

{time: Heb. days}

11:43

And Solomon
<08010>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_:

and Rehoboam
<07346>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Rehoboam: Gr. Roboam}
