unto the LORD
<03068>

at the sea
<03220>

<08193>

in the land

And Huram
<02361>

sent
<07971> (8799)

him by the hands
<03027>

of his servants
<05650>

ships
<0591> (8675) <0591>_,

and servants
<05650>

that had knowledge
<03045> (8802)

of the sea
<03220>_;

and they went
<0935> (8799)

with the servants
<05650>

of Solomon
<08010>

to Ophir
<0211>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

thence four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

[them] to king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_.

9:1

And when the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

heard
<08085> (8804)

of the fame
<08088>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

she came
<0935> (8799)

to prove
<05254> (8763)

Solomon
<08010>

with hard questions
<02420>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

with a very
<03966>

great
<03515>

company
<02428>_,

and camels
<01581>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

spices
<01314>_,

and gold
<02091>

in abundance
<07230>_,

and precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_:

and when she was come
<0935> (8799)

to Solomon
<08010>_,

she communed
<01696> (8762)

with him of all that was in her heart
<03824>_.

9:2

And Solomon
<08010>

told
<05046> (8686)

her all her questions
<01697>_:

and there was nothing hid
<05956> (8738)

from Solomon
<08010>

which he told
<05046> (8689)

her not.

9:3

And when the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

had seen
<07200> (8799)

the wisdom
<02451>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

and the house
<01004>

that he had built
<01129> (8804)_,

9:4

And the meat
<03978>

of his table
<07979>_,

and the sitting
<04186>

of his servants
<05650>_,

and the attendance
<04612>

of his ministers
<08334> (8764)_,

and their apparel
<04403>_;

his cupbearers
<08248> (8688)

also, and their apparel
<04403>_;

and his ascent
<05944>

by which he went up
<05927> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

there was no more spirit
<07307>

in her. {cupbearers: or, butlers}

9:5

And she said
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

[It was] a true
<0571>

report
<01697>

which I heard
<08085> (8804)

in mine own land
<0776>

of thine acts
<01697>_,

and of thy wisdom
<02451>_:

{report: Heb. word} {acts: or, sayings}

9:6

Howbeit I believed
<0539> (8689)

not their words
<01697>_,

until I came
<0935> (8804)_,

and mine eyes
<05869>

had seen
<07200> (8799)

[it]: and, behold, the one half
<02677>

of the greatness
<04768>

of thy wisdom
<02451>

was not told
<05046> (8717)

me: [for] thou exceedest
<03254> (8804)

the fame
<08052>

that I heard
<08085> (8804)_.

9:7

Happy
<0835>

[are] thy men
<0582>_,

and happy
<0835>

[are] these thy servants
<05650>_,

which stand
<05975> (8802)

continually
<08548>

before
<06440>

thee, and hear
<08085> (8802)

thy wisdom
<02451>_.

9:8

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

be the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

which delighted
<02654> (8804)

in thee to set
<05414> (8800)

thee on his throne
<03678>_,

[to be] king
<04428>

for the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_:

because thy God
<0430>

loved
<0160>

Israel
<03478>_,

to establish
<05975> (8687)

them for ever
<05769>_,

therefore made
<05414> (8799)

he thee king
<04428>

over them, to do
<06213> (8800)

judgment
<04941>

and justice
<06666>_.

9:9

And she gave
<05414> (8799)

the king
<04428>

an hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

and of spices
<01314>

great
<03966>

abundance
<07230>_,

and precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_:

neither was there any such spice
<01314>

as the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

gave
<05414> (8804)

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_.

9:10

And the servants
<05650>

also of Huram
<02361>_,

and the servants
<05650>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

which brought
<0935> (8689)

gold
<02091>

from Ophir
<0211>_,

brought
<0935> (8689)

algum
<0418>

trees
<06086>

and precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_.

{algum...: also called, almug trees}

9:11

And the king
<04428>

made
<06213> (8799)

[of] the algum
<0418>

trees
<06086>

terraces
<04546>

to the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and to the king's
<04428>

palace
<01004>_,

and harps
<03658>

and psalteries
<05035>

for singers
<07891> (8802)_:

and there were none such
<01992>

seen
<07200> (8738)

before
<06440>

in the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_.

{terraces: or, stairs: Heb. highways}

9:12

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

gave
<05414> (8804)

to the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

all her desire
<02656>_,

whatsoever she asked
<07592> (8804)_,

beside [that] which she had brought
<0935> (8689)

unto the king
<04428>_.

So she turned
<02015> (8799)_,

and went away
<03212> (8799)

to her own land
<0776>_,

she and her servants
<05650>_.

9:13

Now the weight
<04948>

of gold
<02091>

that came
<0935> (8804)

to Solomon
<08010>

in one
<0259>

year
<08141>

was six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

and threescore
<08346>

and six
<08337>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_;

9:14

Beside [that which] chapmen
<0582> <08446> (8802)

and merchants
<05503> (8802)

brought
<0935> (8688)_.

And all the kings
<04428>

of Arabia
<06152>

and governors
<06346>

of the country
<0776>

brought
<0935> (8688)

gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>

to Solomon
<08010>_.

{governors: or, captains}

9:15

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

made
<06213> (8799)

two hundred
<03967>

targets
<06793>

[of] beaten
<07820> (8803)

gold
<02091>_:

six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

[shekels] of beaten
<07820> (8803)

gold
<02091>

went
<05927> (8686)

to one
<0259>

target
<06793>_.

9:16

And three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

shields
<04043>

[made he of] beaten
<07820> (8803)

gold
<02091>_:

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

[shekels] of gold
<02091>

went
<05927> (8686)

to one
<0259>

shield
<04043>_.

And the king
<04428>

put
<05414> (8799)

them in the house
<01004>

of the forest
<03293>

of Lebanon
<03844>_.

9:17

Moreover the king
<04428>

made
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

throne
<03678>

of ivory
<08127>_,

and overlaid
<06823> (8762)

it with pure
<02889>

gold
<02091>_.

9:18

And [there were] six
<08337>

steps
<04609>

to the throne
<03678>_,

with a footstool
<03534>

of gold
<02091>_,

[which were] fastened
<0270> (8716)

to the throne
<03678>_,

and stays
<03027>

on each side of the sitting
<03427> (8800)

place
<04725>_,

and two
<08147>

lions
<0738>

standing
<05975> (8802)

by
<0681>

the stays
<03027>_:

{stays: Heb. hands}

9:19

And twelve
<08147> <06240>

lions
<0738>

stood
<05975> (8802)

there on the one side and on the other upon the six
<08337>

steps
<04609>_.

There was not the like made
<06213> (8738)

in any kingdom
<04467>_.

9:20

And all the drinking
<04945>

vessels
<03627>

of king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

[were of] gold
<02091>_,

and all the vessels
<03627>

of the house
<01004>

of the forest
<03293>

of Lebanon
<03844>

[were of] pure
<05462> (8803)

gold
<02091>_:

none [were of] silver
<03701>_;

it was [not] any
<03972>

thing accounted
<02803> (8737)

of in the days
<03117>

of Solomon
<08010>_.

{pure: Heb. shut up} {none were of silver: or, there was no silver in them}

9:21

For the king's
<04428>

ships
<0591>

went
<01980> (8802)

to Tarshish
<08659>

with the servants
<05650>

of Huram
<02361>_:

every three
<07969>

years
<08141>

once
<0259>

came
<0935> (8799)

the ships
<0591>

of Tarshish
<08659>

bringing
<05375> (8802)

<02091>_,

and silver
<03701>_,

ivory
<08143>_,

and apes
<06971>_,

and peacocks
<08500>_.

{ivory: or, elephants' teeth}

9:22

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

passed
<01431> (8799)

all the kings
<04428>

of the earth
<0776>

in riches
<06239>

and wisdom
<02451>_.

9:23

And all the kings
<04428>

of the earth
<0776>

sought
<01245> (8764)

the presence
<06440>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

to hear
<08085> (8800)

his wisdom
<02451>_,

that God
<0430>

had put
<05414> (8804)

in his heart
<03820>_.

9:24

And they brought
<0935> (8688)

every man
<0376>

his present
<04503>_,

vessels
<03627>

of silver
<03701>_,

and vessels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>_,

and raiment
<08008>_,

harness
<05402>_,

and spices
<01314>_,

horses
<05483>_,

and mules
<06505>_,

a rate
<01697>

year
<08141>

by year
<08141>_.

9:25

And Solomon
<08010>

had four
<0702>

thousand
<0505>

stalls
<0723>

for horses
<05483>

and chariots
<04818>_,

and twelve
<08147> <06240>

thousand
<0505>

horsemen
<06571>_;

whom he bestowed
<03240> (8686)

in the chariot
<07393>

cities
<05892>_,

and with the king
<04428>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_.

9:26

And he reigned
<04910> (8802)

over all the kings
<04428>

from the river
<05104>

even unto the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and to the border
<01366>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

{river: that is, Euphrates}

9:27

And the king
<04428>

made
<05414> (8799)

silver
<03701>

in Jerusalem
<03389>

as stones
<068>_,

and cedar trees
<0730>

made
<05414> (8804)

he as the sycomore trees
<08256>

that [are] in the low plains
<08219>

in abundance
<07230>_.

{made silver: Heb. gave silver}

9:28

And they brought
<03318> (8688)

unto Solomon
<08010>

horses
<05483>

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

and out of all lands
<0776>_.

9:29

Now the rest
<07605>

of the acts
<01697>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

first
<07223>

and last
<0314>_,

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

in the book
<01697>

of Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and in the prophecy
<05016>

of Ahijah
<0281>

the Shilonite
<07888>_,

and in the visions
<02378>

of Iddo
<03260>

the seer
<02374>

against Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_?

{book: Heb. words}

9:30

And Solomon
<08010>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

over all Israel
<03478>

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_.

9:31

And Solomon
<08010>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and he was buried
<06912> (8799)

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_:

and Rehoboam
<07346>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

10:1

And Rehoboam
<07346>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Shechem
<07927>_:

for to Shechem
<07927>

were all Israel
<03478>

come
<0935> (8804)

to make him king
<04427> (8687)_.

10:2

And it came to pass, when Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who [was] in Egypt
<04714>_,

whither he had fled
<01272> (8804)

from the presence
<06440>

of Solomon
<08010>

the king
<04428>_,

heard
<08085> (8800)

[it], that Jeroboam
<03379>

returned
<07725> (8799)

out of Egypt
<04714>_.

10:3

And they sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

him. So Jeroboam
<03379>

and all Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8799)

and spake
<01696> (8762)

to Rehoboam
<07346>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

10:4

Thy father
<01>

made our yoke
<05923>

grievous
<07185> (8689)_:

now therefore ease
<07043> (8685)

thou somewhat the grievous
<07186>

servitude
<05656>

of thy father
<01>_,

and his heavy
<03515>

yoke
<05923>

that he put
<05414> (8804)

upon us, and we will serve
<05647> (8799)

thee.

10:5

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Come again
<07725> (8798)

unto me after three
<07969>

days
<03117>_.

And the people
<05971>

departed
<03212> (8799)_.

10:6

And king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

took counsel
<03289> (8735)

with the old
<02205>

men that had stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

Solomon
<08010>

his father
<01>

while he yet lived
<02416>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What
<0349>

counsel give
<03289> (8737)

ye [me] to return
<07725> (8687)

answer
<01697>

to this people
<05971>_?

10:7

And they spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If thou be kind
<02896>

to this people
<05971>_,

and please
<07521> (8804)

them, and speak
<01696> (8765)

good
<02896>

words
<01697>

to them, they will be thy servants
<05650>

for ever
<03117>_.

10:8

But he forsook
<05800> (8799)

the counsel
<06098>

which the old men
<02205>

gave
<03289> (8804)

him, and took counsel
<03289> (8735)

with the young men
<03206>

that were brought up
<01431> (8804)

with him, that stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

him.

10:9

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What advice
<03289> (8737)

give ye that we may return
<07725> (8686)

answer
<01697>

to this people
<05971>_,

which have spoken
<01696> (8765)

to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ease
<07043> (8685)

somewhat the yoke
<05923>

that thy father
<01>

did put
<05414> (8804)

upon us?

10:10

And the young men
<03206>

that were brought up
<01431> (8804)

with him spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus shalt thou answer
<0559> (8799)

the people
<05971>

that spake
<01696> (8765)

unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thy father
<01>

made
<03513> (0)

our yoke
<05923>

heavy
<03513> (8689)_,

but make thou [it] somewhat lighter
<07043> (8685)

for us; thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)

unto them, My little
<06995>

[finger] shall be thicker
<05666> (8804)

than my father's
<01>

loins
<04975>_.

10:11

For whereas
<06258>

my father
<01>

put
<06006> (8689)

a heavy
<03515>

yoke
<05923>

upon you, I will put more
<03254> (8686)

to your yoke
<05923>_:

my father
<01>

chastised
<03256> (8765)

you with whips
<07752>_,

but I [will chastise you] with scorpions
<06137>_.

{my father put: Heb. my father laded}

10:12

So Jeroboam
<03379>

and all the people
<05971>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Rehoboam
<07346>

on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

as the king
<04428>

bade
<01696> (8765)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come again
<07725> (8798)

to me on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_.

10:13

And the king
<04428>

answered
<06030> (8799)

them roughly
<07186>_;

and king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

forsook
<05800> (8799)

the counsel
<06098>

of the old men
<02205>_,

10:14

And answered
<01696> (8762)

them after the advice
<06098>

of the young men
<03206>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

My father
<01>

made your yoke
<05923>

heavy
<03513> (8689)_,

but I will add
<03254> (8686)

thereto: my father
<01>

chastised
<03256> (8765)

you with whips
<07752>_,

but I [will chastise you] with scorpions
<06137>_.

10:15

So the king
<04428>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto the people
<05971>_:

for the cause
<05252>

was of God
<0430>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

might perform
<06965> (8687)

his word
<01697>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by the hand
<03027>

of Ahijah
<0281>

the Shilonite
<07888>

to Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_.

10:16

And when all Israel
<03478>

[saw
<07200> (8804)_]

that the king
<04428>

would not hearken
<08085> (8804)

unto them, the people
<05971>

answered
<07725> (8686)

the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What portion
<02506>

have we in David
<01732>_?

and [we have] none inheritance
<05159>

in the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_:

every man
<0376>

to your tents
<0168>_,

O Israel
<03478>_:

[and] now, David
<01732>_,

see
<07200> (8798)

to thine own house
<01004>_.

So all Israel
<03478>

went
<03212> (8799)

to their tents
<0168>_.

10:17

But [as for] the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

Rehoboam
<07346>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

over them.

10:18

Then king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

sent
<07971> (8799)

Hadoram
<01913>

that [was] over the tribute
<04522>_;

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

stoned
<07275> (8799)

him with stones
<068>_,

that he died
<04191> (8799)_.

But king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

made speed
<0553> (8694)

to get him up
<05927> (8800)

to [his] chariot
<04818>_,

to flee
<05127> (8800)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{made speed: Heb. strengthened himself}

10:19

And Israel
<03478>

rebelled
<06586> (8799)

against the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>

unto this day
<03117>_.

11:1

And when Rehoboam
<07346>

was come
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

he gathered
<06950> (8686)

of the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>

an hundred
<03967>

and fourscore
<08084>

thousand
<0505>

chosen
<0977> (8803)

[men], which were warriors
<06213> (8802) <04421>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against Israel
<03478>_,

that he might bring
<07725> (0)

the kingdom
<04467>

again
<07725> (8687)

to Rehoboam
<07346>_.

11:2

But the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Shemaiah
<08098>

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

11:3

Speak
<0559> (8798)

unto Rehoboam
<07346>

the son
<01121>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and to all Israel
<03478>

in Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

11:4

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Ye shall not go up
<05927> (8799)_,

nor fight
<03898> (8735)

against your brethren
<0251>_:

return
<07725> (8798)

every man
<0376>

to his house
<01004>_:

for this thing
<01697>

is done
<01961> (8738)

of me. And they obeyed
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

from going
<03212> (8800)

against Jeroboam
<03379>_.
