1 Hari 11
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Ang mga Asawa ni Solomon
11 Madamo nga mga babayi nga indi Israelinhon ang ginhigugma ni Haring Solomon. Luwas sa anak sang hari sang Egipto, may mga asawa pa gid siya nga mga Moabnon, Ammonhon, Edomnon, Sidonhon, kag mga Hithanon. 2 Ginsilingan na nga daan sang Ginoo ang mga Israelinhon nga indi sila magpangasawa ukon magpamana halin sa sina nga mga nasyon, tungod kay ang ila mapangasawa ukon mapamana amo ang magaimpluwensya sa ila sa pagsimba sa iban nga mga dios. Pero naghigugma gihapon si Solomon sa sini nga mga babayi. 3 May 700 ka asawa si Solomon nga mga anak sang mga hari kag mga opisyal, kag may 300 pa gid siya ka mga asawa nga mga suluguon. Ang iya mga asawa amo ang nagpahilayo sa iya sa Dios. 4 Sang tigulang na siya gin-impluwensya siya sang iya mga asawa sa pagsimba sa iban nga mga dios. Indi na maayo ang iya relasyon sa Ginoo nga iya Dios; indi pareho sang iya amay nga si David. 5 Nagsimba siya kay Ashtoret, ang diosa sang mga Sidonhon, kag kay Molec,[a] ang makangilil-ad nga dios sang mga Ammonhon. 6 Sa sini nga paagi, naghimo si Solomon sang malain sa panulok sang Ginoo. Wala siya magsunod sing bug-os sa Ginoo; indi pareho sa ginhimo sang iya amay nga si David.
7 Nagpahimo si Solomon sang simbahan sa mataas nga lugar, sa sidlangan dampi sang Jerusalem, para kay Kemosh, ang makangilil-ad nga dios sang mga Moabnon. Nagpahimo man siya sang simbahan para kay Molec, ang makangilil-ad nga dios sang mga Ammonhon. 8 Ginpahimuan man niya sang mga simbahan ang mga dios-dios sang tanan niya nga asawa nga indi Israelinhon, kag didto sila nagasunog sang mga insenso kag nagahalad para sa ila mga dios-dios.
9 Naakig ang Ginoo kay Solomon tungod kay nagtalikod siya sa Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel, nga nagpakita sa iya sing makaduha ka beses. 10 Bisan ginpaandaman na niya si Solomon nga indi magsunod sa iban nga mga dios, wala gihapon magtuman si Solomon sa iya. 11 Gani nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Solomon, “Tungod kay wala mo pagtumana ang akon kasugtanan kag ang akon mga sugo, kuhaon ko sa imo ang imo ginharian kag ihatag ko ini sa isa sa imo mga alagad. 12 Pero tungod sa imo amay nga si David indi ko ini paghimuon samtang buhi ka pa. Himuon ko ini sa panahon na sang paghari sang imo anak. 13 Pero indi ko pagkuhaon ang bug-os nga ginharian sa iya, kundi bilinan ko siya sang isa ka tribo tungod sa akon alagad nga si David kag tungod sa Jerusalem nga akon pinili nga siyudad.”
Ang mga Kaaway ni Solomon
14 Ginbuot sang Ginoo nga may magkontra kay Solomon. Siya amo si Hadad nga Edomnon, nga kaliwat sang isa sang mga hari sang Edom. 15 Sang una, sang nagpakig-away si David sa Edom, si Joab nga kumander sang mga soldado ni David nagkadto didto sa Edom agod ilubong ang mga napatay sa inaway. Kag sang didto siya, ginpamatay niya kag sang iya mga tinawo ang tanan nga lalaki sa Edom. 16 Anom ka bulan ang ila pagtiner didto. Wala sila naghalin hasta naubos nila pamatay ang tanan nga lalaki didto. 17 Pero si Hadad nga bata pa sadto nakapalagyo sa Egipto kaupod sang iban nga mga Edomnon nga mga opisyal nga nag-alagad sa iya amay. 18 Naghalin sila sa Midian kag nagkadto sa Paran. Kag kaupod sang iban nga mga taga-Paran, nagkadto sila sa Egipto kag nagpakigkita sa Faraon nga hari sang Egipto. Ginhatagan sang hari si Hadad sang balay, duta, kag pagkaon.
19 Nagustuhan gid sang hari[b] si Hadad, gani ginpaasawa niya kay Hadad ang iya bayaw, nga utod sang iya asawa nga si Rayna Tapenes. 20 Sang ulihi, nagbata sing lalaki ang asawa ni Hadad, kag gin-ngalanan nila nga Genubat. Si Tapenes ang nagpadako sa bata didto sa palasyo. Nagpuyo ang bata upod sa mga anak sang hari.
21 Sang didto si Hadad sa Egipto, nabalitaan niya nga patay na si David kag si Joab nga kumander sang mga soldado. Nagsiling si Hadad sa hari, “Papulia na ako sa akon nasyon.” 22 Nagpamangkot ang hari, “Ngaa? Ano pa bala ang kulang sa imo diri nga gusto mo gid magpauli sa inyo?” Nagsabat si Hadad, “Wala; basta papaulia lang ako.”
23 May isa pa ka tawo nga ginbuot sang Dios nga magkontra kay Solomon. Siya amo si Rezon nga anak ni Eliada. Naglayas siya sa iya agalon nga si Haring Hadadezer sang Zoba, 24 kag nangin pangulo siya sang mga rebelde nga iya gintipon. Sang mapierdi ni David ang mga soldado ni Hadadezer, nagkadto si Rezon kag ang iya mga tinawo sa Damascus. Ginsakop nila ini nga lugar kag didto sila nag-estar. 25 Nangin hari si Rezon sang Aram,[c] kag ginkontra niya ang Israel. Nangin kaaway siya sang Israel samtang buhi pa si Solomon. Gindugangan pa niya ang kagamo nga ginahimo ni Hadad sa Israel.
Nagrebelde si Jeroboam kay Solomon
26 Isa pa sa mga nagkontra kay Solomon amo si Jeroboam nga isa sang iya mga opisyal. Halin siya sa banwa sang Zereda sa Efraim. Ang iya amay nga si Nebat patay na, pero ang iya iloy nga si Zerua buhi pa. 27 Amo ini ang estorya kon paano siya nagrebelde sa hari: Ginapatampukan sadto ni Solomon ang manubo nga parte[d] sang banwa sang iya amay nga si David, kag ginapakay-o ang mga pader sini. 28 Ining si Jeroboam maabilidad nga tawo, kag sang matalupangdan ni Solomon ang iya kapisan, ginhimo niya siya nga manugdumala sang tanan nga tawo nga ginpilit nga mag-obra halin sa tribo ni Efraim kag ni Manase.[e]
29 Isa sina ka tion, samtang nagapaguwa si Jeroboam sa Jerusalem, ginsugata siya ni Propeta Ahia nga taga-Shilo. Bag-o ang ginasuksok ni Ahia nga pangguwa nga bayo. Sila lang nga duha didto sa kapatagan. 30 Gin-uba ni Ahia ang iya pangguwa nga bayo kag gin-gisi ini sa dose ka parte. 31 Dayon nagsiling siya kay Jeroboam, “Kuha ka sang napulo ka parte sini, kay amo ini ang ginasiling sang Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel: Kuhaon ko ang ginharian ni Solomon kag ihatag sa imo ang napulo ka tribo sini. 32 Pero tungod kay David nga akon alagad kag sa siyudad sang Jerusalem nga akon pinili sa tanan nga siyudad sang Israel, ibilin ko ang isa ka tribo kay Solomon. 33 Himuon ko ini tungod kay ginsikway niya[f] ako kag ginsimba si Ashtoret, ang diosa sang mga Sidonhon, si Kemosh, ang dios sang mga Moabnon, kag si Molec, ang dios sang mga Ammonhon. Wala siya[g] nagsunod sa akon mga pamaagi kag wala siya nagkabuhi sing husto sa akon panulok. Wala siya nagtuman sa akon mga pagsulundan kag mga sugo; indi pareho sa iya amay nga si David. 34 Pero indi ko pagkuhaon ang bug-os nga ginharian kay Solomon. Magahari siya sa bug-os niya nga kabuhi tungod sa akon alagad nga si David nga akon ginpili, nga nagtuman sang akon mga sugo kag mga pagsulundan. 35 Pagakuhaon ko ang napulo ka tribo sa ginharian sang iya anak nga magabulos sa iya bilang hari, kag ihatag ko ini sa imo. 36 Hatagan ko sang isa ka tribo ang iya anak agod nga ang mga kaliwat ni David nga akon alagad magapadayon sa paghari sa Jerusalem, ang siyudad nga akon ginpili para padunggan ako. 37 Kon parte sa imo, himuon ko ikaw nga hari sang Israel. Dumalahan mo ang tanan nga gusto mo. 38 Kon tumanon mo ang tanan nga isugo ko sa imo kag magsunod ka sa akon mga pamaagi, kag kon maghimo ka sing maayo sa akon panulok paagi sa pagtuman sang akon mga pagsulundan kag mga sugo pareho sang ginhimo ni David nga akon alagad, magaupod ako sa imo. Magapabilin sa paghari ang imo mga kaliwat pareho sa mga kaliwat ni David. Mangin imo ang Israel. 39 Tungod sa mga sala ni Solomon, silutan ko ang mga kaliwat ni David, pero indi hasta san-o.”
40 Gani gintinguhaan ni Solomon nga patyon si Jeroboam, pero nagpalagyo si Jeroboam kay Shishak, ang hari sang Egipto, kag didto siya nag-estar hasta napatay si Solomon.
Ang Katapusan sang Paghari ni Solomon(A)
41 Ang iban pa nga estorya parte sa paghari ni Solomon, kag ang tanan nga iya ginhimo, kag ang parte sa iya kaalam nasulat sa Libro sang mga Binuhatan ni Solomon. 42 Sa Jerusalem nag-estar si Solomon samtang nagahari siya sa bug-os nga Israel sa sulod sang 40 ka tuig. 43 Sang napatay siya, ginlubong siya sa banwa sang iya amay nga si David. Kag si Rehoboam nga iya anak ang nagbulos sa iya bilang hari.

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.
1 Kings 11
New King James Version
Solomon’s Heart Turns from the Lord
11 But (A)King Solomon loved (B)many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites— 2 from the nations of whom the Lord had said to the children of Israel, (C)“You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to 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 was so, when Solomon was old, (D)that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his (E)heart was not [a]loyal to the Lord his God, (F)as was the heart of his father David. 5 For Solomon went after (G)Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after (H)Milcom[b] the abomination of the (I)Ammonites. 6 Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as did his father David. 7 (J)Then Solomon built a [c]high place for (K)Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on (L)the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon. 8 And he did likewise for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9 So the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the Lord God of Israel, (M)who had appeared to him twice, 10 and (N)had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep what the Lord had commanded. 11 Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, “Because you have done this, and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, (O)I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your (P)servant. 12 Nevertheless I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David; I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 (Q)However I will not tear away the whole kingdom; I will give (R)one tribe to your son (S)for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem (T)which I have chosen.”
Adversaries of Solomon
14 Now the Lord (U)raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was a descendant of the king in Edom. 15 (V)For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, (W)after he had killed every male in Edom 16 (because for six months Joab remained there with all Israel, until he had cut down every male in Edom), 17 that Hadad fled to go to Egypt, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him. Hadad was still a little child. 18 Then they arose from Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, apportioned food for him, and gave him land. 19 And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, that is, the sister of Queen Tahpenes. 20 Then the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house. And Genubath was in Pharaoh’s household among the sons of Pharaoh.
21 (X)So when Hadad heard in Egypt that David [d]rested with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, [e]“Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.”
22 Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that suddenly you seek to go to your own country?”
So he answered, “Nothing, but do let me go anyway.”
23 And God raised up another adversary against him, Rezon the son of Eliadah, who had fled from his lord, (Y)Hadadezer king of Zobah. 24 So he gathered men to him and became captain over a band of raiders, (Z)when David killed those of Zobah. And they went to Damascus and dwelt there, and reigned in Damascus. 25 He was an adversary of Israel all the days of Solomon (besides the trouble that Hadad caused); and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
Jeroboam’s Rebellion
26 Then Solomon’s servant, (AA)Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zereda, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, (AB)also (AC)rebelled against the king.
27 And this is what caused him to rebel against the king: (AD)Solomon had built the Millo and [f]repaired the damages to the City of David his father. 28 The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon, seeing that the young man was (AE)industrious, made him the officer over all the labor force of the house of Joseph.
29 Now it happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet (AF)Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the way; and he had clothed himself with a new garment, and the two were alone in the field. 30 Then Ahijah took hold of the new garment that was on him, and (AG)tore it into twelve pieces. 31 And he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for (AH)thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you 32 (but he shall have one tribe for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), 33 (AI)because [g]they have forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the people of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways to do what is right in My eyes and keep My statutes and My judgments, as did his father David. 34 However I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of My servant David, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and My statutes. 35 But (AJ)I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and give it to you—ten tribes. 36 And to his son I will give one tribe, that (AK)My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there. 37 So I will take you, and you shall reign over all your heart desires, and you shall be king over Israel. 38 Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then (AL)I will be with you and (AM)build for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you. 39 And I will afflict the descendants of David because of this, but not forever.’ ”
40 Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to (AN)Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
Death of Solomon(AO)
41 Now (AP)the rest of the acts of Solomon, all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? 42 (AQ)And the period that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. 43 (AR)Then Solomon [h]rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his (AS)place.

Solomon Turns from the Lord
11 Now (A)King Solomon loved many foreign women, along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, 2 from the nations concerning which the Lord had said to the people of Israel, (B)“You shall not enter into marriage with them, neither shall they with you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. 3 He had 700 wives, who were princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart. 4 For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and (C)his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, (D)as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after (E)Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after (F)Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and did not wholly follow the Lord, as David his father had done. 7 Then Solomon built a high place for (G)Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for (H)Molech the abomination of the Ammonites, on the mountain east of Jerusalem. 8 And so he did for all his foreign wives, who made offerings and sacrificed to their gods.
The Lord Raises Adversaries
9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because (I)his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, (J)who had appeared to him twice 10 and (K)had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not keep what the Lord commanded. 11 Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this has been your practice and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, (L)I will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant. 12 Yet for the sake of David your father I will not do it in your days, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 However, (M)I will not tear away all the kingdom, but (N)I will give one tribe to your son, for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem (O)that I have chosen.”
14 And the Lord raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He was of the royal house in Edom. 15 For (P)when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army went up to bury the slain, he struck down every male in Edom 16 (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom). 17 But Hadad fled to Egypt, together with certain Edomites of his father's servants, Hadad still being a little child. 18 They set out from Midian and came to (Q)Paran and took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and assigned him an allowance of food and gave him land. 19 And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. 20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house. And Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh. 21 But when Hadad heard in Egypt (R)that David slept with his fathers and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.” 22 But Pharaoh said to him, “What have you lacked with me that you are now seeking to go to your own country?” And he said to him, “Only let me depart.”
23 God also raised up as an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master (S)Hadadezer king of Zobah. 24 And he gathered men about him and became leader of a marauding band, (T)after the killing by David. And they went to Damascus and lived there and made him king in Damascus. 25 He was an adversary of Israel all the days of Solomon, doing harm as Hadad did. And he loathed Israel and reigned over Syria.
26 (U)Jeroboam the son of Nebat, (V)an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also (W)lifted up his hand against the king. 27 And this was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king. (X)Solomon built the Millo, and closed up the breach of the city of David his father. 28 The man Jeroboam was very able, and when Solomon saw that the young man was industrious he gave him charge over all the forced labor of the house of Joseph. 29 And at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet (Y)Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had dressed himself in a new garment, and the two of them were alone in the open country. 30 Then Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, (Z)and tore it into twelve pieces. 31 And he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, (AA)I am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and will give you ten tribes 32 (but (AB)he shall have one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, (AC)the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), 33 because they have[a] forsaken me (AD)and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and they have not walked in my ways, doing what is right in my sight and keeping my statutes and my rules, as David his father did. 34 Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes. 35 (AE)But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and will give it to you, ten tribes. 36 Yet to his son (AF)I will give one tribe, that David my servant may always have (AG)a lamp before me in Jerusalem, (AH)the city where I have chosen to put my name. 37 And I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel. 38 And if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, (AI)I will be with you and (AJ)will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you. 39 And I will afflict the offspring of David because of this, but not forever.’” 40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to (AK)Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 (AL)Now 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 (AM)slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father. And (AN)Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
