妃嫔引诱所罗门离弃 神
11 所罗门王除了法老的女儿以外，又宠爱许多外族女子，就是摩押女子、亚扪女子、以东女子、西顿女子和赫人女子等。 2 关于这些国家的人，耶和华曾经吩咐以色列人：“你们不可与他们往来通婚，否则他们必会引诱你们的心，去随从他们的神。”但所罗门深深爱恋这些女子。 3 所罗门有妃七百，都是公主；有嫔三百。他的妃嫔使他的心偏离了 神。 4 所罗门年老的时候，他的妃嫔诱惑他的心偏离了 神去随从别的神。他的心不像他的父亲大卫那样完全归于耶和华他的 神。 5 因为所罗门随从西顿人的女神亚斯他录，和亚扪人可憎的偶像米勒公。 6 所罗门行耶和华看为恶的事，不效法他的父亲大卫完完全全跟从耶和华。 7 那时，所罗门为摩押人可憎的偶像基抹和亚扪人可憎的偶像摩洛，在耶路撒冷东面的山上建造邱坛。 8 他为他娶自外族的妃嫔都这样作；她们都向自己的神烧香献祭。
耶和华向所罗门发怒
9 耶和华向所罗门发怒，因为他的心偏离了曾经两次向他显现的耶和华以色列的 神。 10 耶和华为了这事曾经吩咐他，不可随从别的神，可是他没有遵守耶和华吩咐的。 11 耶和华对所罗门说：“你既然作了这事，不遵守我吩咐你的约和律例，我必夺去你的国，把国赐给你的一个臣子。 12 然而，为了你父亲大卫的缘故，我不会在你有生之日作这事，我要从你儿子的手中把国夺去。 13 只是我不把整个国家夺去，为了我的仆人大卫的缘故，又为了我所拣选的耶路撒冷的缘故，我要给你的儿子留下一个支派。”
所罗门的仇敌
14 于是耶和华兴起一个人敌挡所罗门，他是以东王的后裔以东人哈达。 15 从前大卫击败以东，元帅约押上去埋葬阵亡的人的时候，就把以东所有的男人都杀了。 16 约押和以色列人在那里住了六个月，直到把以东所有的男人都除灭了。 17 哈达与他父亲的几个以东臣仆一起逃往埃及，那时哈达还是一个小孩子。 18 他们从米甸动身，来到巴兰，又从巴兰带了几个人来到埃及，见埃及王法老。法老吩咐人给他一所房子，供应他粮食，又赐他一块田地。 19 哈达在法老面前十分蒙恩，以致法老把自己妻子的妹妹，就是王后答比匿的妹妹，赐给他作妻子。 20 答比匿的妹妹给他生了一个儿子，名叫基努拔。答比匿使他在法老的宫中长大，基努拔就与法老的众子一起住在法老的宫中。 21 后来哈达在埃及听说大卫已经与他的列祖同睡，元帅约押也死了，哈达就对法老说：“求你容我离去，我好回到本国去。” 22 法老问他：“你在我这里有甚么欠缺，竟要回到你本国去呢？”他回答：“没有甚么欠缺，只求你无论如何让我离开。”
23 神又兴起一个人敌挡所罗门，就是以利亚大的儿子利逊。他是从他主人琐巴王哈大底谢那里逃出来的。 24 大卫击杀琐巴人的时候，利逊招聚了一些人，自己作了这些土匪的领袖。他前往大马士革，住在那里，又在大马士革作王。 25 在所罗门一生的日子，利逊都敌挡以色列人。他恨恶以色列人，并且作了亚兰人的王。另外，哈达也不断为患。
耶罗波安背叛
26 所罗门王的臣仆，尼八的儿子耶罗波安也举手攻击王。他是洗利达的以法莲人，他母亲是个寡妇，名叫洗鲁雅。 27 他举手攻击王的情形是这样的：所罗门重建米罗，修补他父亲大卫城的破口； 28 耶罗波安这个人原是个有才干的人。所罗门见这个年轻人作事殷勤，就派他管理约瑟家的所有奴工。
亚希雅预言国家分裂
29 有一次，耶罗波安从耶路撒冷出来，示罗人亚希雅先知在路上遇见他。亚希雅身上穿著一件新衣，那时田野里只有他们二人。 30 亚希雅拿着自己身上所穿的新衣，把它撕成十二片， 31 对耶罗波安说：“你拿十片去吧！因为耶和华以色列的 神这样说：‘看哪，我必从所罗门的手里把国夺去，把十个支派赐给你。 32 但是为了我的仆人大卫和为了我从以色列众支派中所拣选的耶路撒冷的缘故，所罗门仍然可以拥有一个支派。 33 因为他们离弃了我，去敬拜西顿人的女神亚斯他录、摩押人的神基抹和亚扪人的神米勒公，没有遵行我的道，行我眼中看为正的事，谨守我的律例典章，像他的父亲大卫一样。 34 但是，我不会把整个国家从他的手里夺去，我必使他终身作人君，是因我所拣选的仆人大卫谨守了我的诫命律例的缘故。 35 我要从他儿子的手中把国夺去，赐给你十个支派。 36 至于所罗门的儿子，我要给他一个支派，好使我的仆人大卫在我所拣选立我名的城耶路撒冷，在我面前常常有灯光。 37 我要拣选你，使你可以照心里想望的去统治。你必作以色列的王。 38 你若是听从我吩咐你的一切，遵行我的道，行我看为正的事，谨守我的律例诫命，像我的仆人大卫所行的一样，我就与你同在，为你建立一个巩固的朝代，像我为大卫建立的一样，并且我要把以色列赐给你。 39 因此，我要使大卫的后裔遭受苦难，不过，却不是永远的。’” 40 于是所罗门想要杀死耶罗波安，耶罗波安却逃往埃及去，到了埃及王示撒那里，就留在埃及，直等到所罗门死了为止。
所罗门逝世(A)
41 所罗门其余的事：他所行的和他的智慧，不是都写在《所罗门记》上吗？ 42 所罗门在耶路撒冷作以色列众人的王共四十年。 43 所罗门与他的列祖同睡，埋葬在他父亲大卫的城里。他的儿子罗波安接续他作王。

所罗门背弃上帝
11 除了埃及公主以外，所罗门王还宠爱许多外邦女子，有摩押人、亚扪人、以东人、西顿人和赫人。 2 耶和华曾告诉以色列人不可跟这些外族人通婚，免得受引诱去随从他们的神明，所罗门却迷恋这些女子。 3 他有七百个妻子，都是外国的公主，还有三百个妃嫔。这些女子使他的心背弃耶和华。 4 所罗门年老的时候，他的嫔妃诱惑他的心去追随别的神明。他没有像他父亲大卫那样忠心顺服他的上帝耶和华。 5 所罗门拜西顿人的女神亚斯她录和亚扪人的可憎神明米勒公。 6 他做了耶和华视为恶的事，没有像他父亲大卫那样忠心顺服耶和华。 7 在耶路撒冷东面的山上，所罗门为摩押人可憎的神明基抹和亚扪人可憎的神明摩洛修建丘坛。 8 他又为所有的外邦妃嫔修建丘坛，供她们向自己的神明烧香献祭。
9-10 所罗门背弃了曾两次向他显现的以色列的上帝耶和华，违背耶和华的命令去随从别的神明。所以，耶和华向他发怒， 11 说：“你既然违背我的命令，不遵守我的约和律例，我必夺走你的国，将它赐给你的一个臣仆。 12 然而，因你父大卫的缘故，我不会在你有生之年这样做，我要从你儿子手中把国夺走。 13 但我不会全部夺走，为了我仆人大卫和我拣选的耶路撒冷，我会留下一个支派给你儿子。”
所罗门的敌人
14 耶和华使以东王的后裔哈达兴起，与所罗门为敌。 15 从前大卫征讨以东，元帅约押前去埋葬阵亡的人，将以东的男子都杀了。 16 他率领以色列人在那里住了六个月，直到杀光了以东的男子。 17 那时，哈达年纪还小，他和他父亲的几个以东臣仆一起逃往埃及。 18 他们从米甸逃到巴兰，在那里招聚了一些人，然后又逃到埃及去见埃及王法老。法老赐他粮食、房屋和田地。 19 法老非常喜欢哈达，将王后答比妮的妹妹许配给他。 20 他们生了一个儿子，取名基努拔，由王后在宫中抚养，跟王子们在一起。 21 后来，哈达知道大卫已与祖先同眠，约押元帅也死了，就求法老准他回国。 22 法老问他：“你为什么要回国呢？你在我这里还缺什么吗？”哈达答道：“什么都不缺，但还是求王准我回国。” 23 上帝又使以利亚大的儿子利逊兴起，与所罗门为敌。这人从他主人琐巴王哈大底谢身边逃走后， 24 招聚了一群匪徒，自己做头目。大卫征服琐巴人后，他又前往大马士革，在那里做王。 25 所罗门活着的时候，哈达和利逊不断为患。利逊统治亚兰，他憎恨以色列人。
耶罗波安叛变
26 所罗门的一个臣仆耶罗波安也叛变了。他是以法莲支派洗利达人尼八的儿子，母亲洗鲁阿是个寡妇。 27 以下是他反叛所罗门的缘由：
当年所罗门建造米罗堡，修补大卫城的城墙时， 28 发现年轻的耶罗波安勤奋能干，就提拔他监管约瑟家族的一切工程。
29 有一次，耶罗波安出了耶路撒冷，在路上遇见身披新衣的示罗人亚希雅先知。当时野外只有他们二人。 30 亚希雅将身上的新衣撕作十二片， 31 对耶罗波安说：“你可以拿十片。以色列的上帝耶和华说，‘我必夺走所罗门的国，把十个支派赐给你。 32 然而，为了我仆人大卫和我在以色列众支派中拣选的耶路撒冷城，我会留下一个支派给所罗门。 33 所罗门背弃了我，去祭拜西顿人的女神亚斯她录、摩押的神明基抹、亚扪人的神明米勒公。他没有遵行我的道，没有做我视为正的事，也不像他父亲大卫那样遵守我的律例和典章。 34 然而，我不会夺走他整个国，我会让所罗门终生为王，因为我所拣选的仆人大卫遵守我的诫命和律法。 35 我必从他儿子手中把国夺走，将十个支派赐给你， 36 只给他儿子留下一个支派，好使我仆人大卫有后裔留在我选为居所的耶路撒冷城。 37 我要让你做王，使你如愿地统治以色列。 38 若你像我仆人大卫一样听从我的一切吩咐，遵行我的道，做我视为正的事，遵守我的律例诫命，我就与你同在，巩固你的王朝，像巩固大卫的王朝一样，使你统治以色列。 39 因所罗门的所作所为，我必让大卫的后裔遭难，但不会永远如此。’”
40 所罗门想杀耶罗波安，他就逃到埃及投奔埃及王示撒，在那里一直住到所罗门过世。
41 所罗门的其他事迹、作为和智慧都记在所罗门记上了。 42 所罗门在耶路撒冷统治以色列四十年， 43 他与祖先同眠后葬在他父亲大卫的城里。他儿子罗波安继位。

妃嬪引誘所羅門離棄 神
11 所羅門王除了法老的女兒以外，又寵愛許多外族女子，就是摩押女子、亞捫女子、以東女子、西頓女子和赫人女子等。 2 關於這些國家的人，耶和華曾經吩咐以色列人：“你們不可與他們往來通婚，否則他們必會引誘你們的心，去隨從他們的神。”但所羅門深深愛戀這些女子。 3 所羅門有妃七百，都是公主；有嬪三百。他的妃嬪使他的心偏離了 神。 4 所羅門年老的時候，他的妃嬪誘惑他的心偏離了 神去隨從別的神。他的心不像他的父親大衛那樣完全歸於耶和華他的 神。 5 因為所羅門隨從西頓人的女神亞斯他錄，和亞捫人可憎的偶像米勒公。 6 所羅門行耶和華看為惡的事，不效法他的父親大衛完完全全跟從耶和華。 7 那時，所羅門為摩押人可憎的偶像基抹和亞捫人可憎的偶像摩洛，在耶路撒冷東面的山上建造邱壇。 8 他為他娶自外族的妃嬪都這樣作；她們都向自己的神燒香獻祭。
耶和華向所羅門發怒
9 耶和華向所羅門發怒，因為他的心偏離了曾經兩次向他顯現的耶和華以色列的 神。 10 耶和華為了這事曾經吩咐他，不可隨從別的神，可是他沒有遵守耶和華吩咐的。 11 耶和華對所羅門說：“你既然作了這事，不遵守我吩咐你的約和律例，我必奪去你的國，把國賜給你的一個臣子。 12 然而，為了你父親大衛的緣故，我不會在你有生之日作這事，我要從你兒子的手中把國奪去。 13 只是我不把整個國家奪去，為了我的僕人大衛的緣故，又為了我所揀選的耶路撒冷的緣故，我要給你的兒子留下一個支派。”
所羅門的仇敵
14 於是耶和華興起一個人敵擋所羅門，他是以東王的後裔以東人哈達。 15 從前大衛擊敗以東，元帥約押上去埋葬陣亡的人的時候，就把以東所有的男人都殺了。 16 約押和以色列人在那裡住了六個月，直到把以東所有的男人都除滅了。 17 哈達與他父親的幾個以東臣僕一起逃往埃及，那時哈達還是一個小孩子。 18 他們從米甸動身，來到巴蘭，又從巴蘭帶了幾個人來到埃及，見埃及王法老。法老吩咐人給他一所房子，供應他糧食，又賜他一塊田地。 19 哈達在法老面前十分蒙恩，以致法老把自己妻子的妹妹，就是王后答比匿的妹妹，賜給他作妻子。 20 答比匿的妹妹給他生了一個兒子，名叫基努拔。答比匿使他在法老的宮中長大，基努拔就與法老的眾子一起住在法老的宮中。 21 後來哈達在埃及聽說大衛已經與他的列祖同睡，元帥約押也死了，哈達就對法老說：“求你容我離去，我好回到本國去。” 22 法老問他：“你在我這裡有甚麼欠缺，竟要回到你本國去呢？”他回答：“沒有甚麼欠缺，只求你無論如何讓我離開。”
23 神又興起一個人敵擋所羅門，就是以利亞大的兒子利遜。他是從他主人瑣巴王哈大底謝那裡逃出來的。 24 大衛擊殺瑣巴人的時候，利遜招聚了一些人，自己作了這些土匪的領袖。他前往大馬士革，住在那裡，又在大馬士革作王。 25 在所羅門一生的日子，利遜都敵擋以色列人。他恨惡以色列人，並且作了亞蘭人的王。另外，哈達也不斷為患。
耶羅波安背叛
26 所羅門王的臣僕，尼八的兒子耶羅波安也舉手攻擊王。他是洗利達的以法蓮人，他母親是個寡婦，名叫洗魯雅。 27 他舉手攻擊王的情形是這樣的：所羅門重建米羅，修補他父親大衛城的破口； 28 耶羅波安這個人原是個有才幹的人。所羅門見這個年輕人作事殷勤，就派他管理約瑟家的所有奴工。
亞希雅預言國家分裂
29 有一次，耶羅波安從耶路撒冷出來，示羅人亞希雅先知在路上遇見他。亞希雅身上穿著一件新衣，那時田野裡只有他們二人。 30 亞希雅拿著自己身上所穿的新衣，把它撕成十二片， 31 對耶羅波安說：“你拿十片去吧！因為耶和華以色列的 神這樣說：‘看哪，我必從所羅門的手裡把國奪去，把十個支派賜給你。 32 但是為了我的僕人大衛和為了我從以色列眾支派中所揀選的耶路撒冷的緣故，所羅門仍然可以擁有一個支派。 33 因為他們離棄了我，去敬拜西頓人的女神亞斯他錄、摩押人的神基抹和亞捫人的神米勒公，沒有遵行我的道，行我眼中看為正的事，謹守我的律例典章，像他的父親大衛一樣。 34 但是，我不會把整個國家從他的手裡奪去，我必使他終身作人君，是因我所揀選的僕人大衛謹守了我的誡命律例的緣故。 35 我要從他兒子的手中把國奪去，賜給你十個支派。 36 至於所羅門的兒子，我要給他一個支派，好使我的僕人大衛在我所揀選立我名的城耶路撒冷，在我面前常常有燈光。 37 我要揀選你，使你可以照心裡想望的去統治。你必作以色列的王。 38 你若是聽從我吩咐你的一切，遵行我的道，行我看為正的事，謹守我的律例誡命，像我的僕人大衛所行的一樣，我就與你同在，為你建立一個鞏固的朝代，像我為大衛建立的一樣，並且我要把以色列賜給你。 39 因此，我要使大衛的後裔遭受苦難，不過，卻不是永遠的。’” 40 於是所羅門想要殺死耶羅波安，耶羅波安卻逃往埃及去，到了埃及王示撒那裡，就留在埃及，直等到所羅門死了為止。
所羅門逝世(A)
41 所羅門其餘的事：他所行的和他的智慧，不是都寫在《所羅門記》上嗎？ 42 所羅門在耶路撒冷作以色列眾人的王共四十年。 43 所羅門與他的列祖同睡，埋葬在他父親大衛的城裡。他的兒子羅波安接續他作王。
1 Kings 11
King James Version
1 Kings 11
King James Version
11 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:
2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father.
7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the Lord commanded.
11 Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.
14 And the Lord stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
15 For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;
16 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)
17 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.
18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
19 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.
21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.
22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise.
23 And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.
25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king.
27 And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.
28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.
29 And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:
30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:
31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:
32 (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)
33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.
34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:
35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.
36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

Solomon’s Wives
11 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women(A) besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites,(B) Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. 2 They were from nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry(C) with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines,(D) and his wives led him astray.(E) 4 As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods,(F) and his heart was not fully devoted(G) to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 5 He followed Ashtoreth(H) the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek(I) the detestable god of the Ammonites. 6 So Solomon did evil(J) in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done.
7 On a hill east(K) of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh(L) the detestable god of Moab, and for Molek(M) the detestable god of the Ammonites. 8 He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods.
9 The Lord became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared(N) to him twice. 10 Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods,(O) Solomon did not keep the Lord’s command.(P) 11 So the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees,(Q) which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear(R) the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates. 12 Nevertheless, for the sake of David(S) your father, I will not do it during your lifetime. I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, but will give him one tribe(T) for the sake(U) of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”(V)
Solomon’s Adversaries
14 Then the Lord raised up against Solomon an adversary,(W) Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom. 15 Earlier when David was fighting with Edom, Joab the commander of the army, who had gone up to bury the dead, had struck down all the men in Edom.(X) 16 Joab and all the Israelites stayed there for six months, until they had destroyed all the men in Edom. 17 But Hadad, still only a boy, fled to Egypt with some Edomite officials who had served his father. 18 They set out from Midian and went to Paran.(Y) Then taking people from Paran with them, they went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.
19 Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage. 20 The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath, whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There Genubath lived with Pharaoh’s own children.
21 While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David rested with his ancestors and that Joab the commander of the army was also dead. Then Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.”
22 “What have you lacked here that you want to go back to your own country?” Pharaoh asked.
“Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but do let me go!”
23 And God raised up against Solomon another adversary,(Z) Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer(AA) king of Zobah. 24 When David destroyed Zobah’s army, Rezon gathered a band of men around him and became their leader; they went to Damascus,(AB) where they settled and took control. 25 Rezon was Israel’s adversary as long as Solomon lived, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled in Aram(AC) and was hostile toward Israel.
Jeroboam Rebels Against Solomon
26 Also, Jeroboam son of Nebat rebelled(AD) against the king. He was one of Solomon’s officials, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, and his mother was a widow named Zeruah.
27 Here is the account of how he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the terraces[a](AE) and had filled in the gap in the wall of the city of David his father. 28 Now Jeroboam was a man of standing,(AF) and when Solomon saw how well(AG) the young man did his work, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the tribes of Joseph.
29 About that time Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, and Ahijah(AH) the prophet of Shiloh met him on the way, wearing a new cloak. The two of them were alone out in the country, 30 and Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing and tore(AI) it into twelve pieces. 31 Then he said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘See, I am going to tear(AJ) the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand and give you ten tribes. 32 But for the sake(AK) of my servant David and the city of Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, he will have one tribe. 33 I will do this because they have[b] forsaken me and worshiped(AL) Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Molek the god of the Ammonites, and have not walked(AM) in obedience to me, nor done what is right in my eyes, nor kept my decrees(AN) and laws as David, Solomon’s father, did.
34 “‘But I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s hand; I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose and who obeyed my commands and decrees. 35 I will take the kingdom from his son’s hands and give you ten tribes. 36 I will give one tribe(AO) to his son so that David my servant may always have a lamp(AP) before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put my Name. 37 However, as for you, I will take you, and you will rule(AQ) over all that your heart desires;(AR) you will be king over Israel. 38 If you do whatever I command you and walk in obedience to me and do what is right(AS) in my eyes by obeying my decrees(AT) and commands, as David my servant did, I will be with you. I will build you a dynasty(AU) as enduring as the one I built for David and will give Israel to you. 39 I will humble David’s descendants because of this, but not forever.’”
40 Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam fled(AV) to Egypt, to Shishak(AW) the king, and stayed there until Solomon’s death.
Solomon’s Death(AX)
41 As for the other events of Solomon’s reign—all he did and the wisdom he displayed—are they not written in the book of the annals of Solomon? 42 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 43 Then he rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam(AY) his son succeeded him as king.
