1 Kings 11 — Scripture text (King James Version)
But king4428 8010 loved157 many7227 strange5237 women802, together with the daughter1323 of 6547, women of the 4125, 5984, 130, Zidonians6722, and 2850; together: or, beside Of the nations1471 concerning which the LORD3068 said559 unto the children1121 of 3478, Ye shall not go in935 to them, neither shall they come in935 unto you: for surely403 they will turn away5186 your heart3824 after310 their gods430: 8010 clave1692 unto these in love157. And he had seven7651 hundred3967 wives802, princesses8282, and three7969 hundred3967 concubines6370: and his wives802 turned away5186 his heart3820. For it came to pass, when6256 8010 was old2209, that his wives802 turned away5186 his heart3824 after310 other312 gods430: and his heart3824 was not perfect8003 with the LORD3068 his God430, as was the heart3824 of 1732 his father1. For 8010 went3212 after310 Ashtoreth6253 the goddess430 of the Zidonians6722, and after310 Milcom4445 the abomination8251 of the 5984. And 8010 did6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, and went not fully4390 after310 the LORD3068, as did 1732 his father1. went: Heb. fulfilled not after Then did 8010 build1129 an high place1116 for Chemosh3645, the abomination8251 of 4124, in the hill2022 that is before6440 3389, and for Molech4432, the abomination8251 of the children1121 of 5983. And likewise did6213 he for all his strange5237 wives802, which burnt incense6999 and sacrificed2076 unto their gods430. And the LORD3068 was angry599 with 8010, because his heart3824 was turned5186 from the LORD3068 God430 of 3478, which had appeared7200 unto him twice6471, And had commanded6680 him concerning this thing1697, that he should not go3212 after310 other312 gods430: but he kept8104 not that which the LORD3068 commanded6680. Wherefore the LORD3068 said559 unto 8010, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept8104 my 1285 and my statutes2708, which I have commanded6680 thee, I will surely7167 rend7167 the kingdom4467 from thee, and will give5414 it to thy servant5650. is done: Heb. is with thee Notwithstanding in thy days3117 I will not do6213 it for 1732 thy father's1 sake: but I will rend7167 it out of the hand3027 of thy son1121. Howbeit7535 I will not rend away7167 all the kingdom4467; but will give5414 one259 tribe7626 to thy son1121 for 1732 my servant's5650 sake, and for 's3389 sake which I have chosen977. And the LORD3068 stirred up6965 an adversary7854 unto 8010, Hadad1908 the Edomite130: he was of the king's4428 seed2233 in 123. For it came to pass, when 1732 was in 123, and 3097 the captain8269 of the host6635 was gone up5927 to bury6912 the slain2491, after he had smitten5221 every male2145 in 123; (For six8337 months2320 did 3097 remain3427 there with all 3478, until he had cut off3772 every male2145 in 123:) That Hadad111 fled1272, he and certain582 130 of his father's1 servants5650 with him, to go935 into 4714; Hadad1908 being yet a little6996 child5288. And they arose6965 out of 4080, and came935 to Paran6290: and they took3947 men582 with them out of Paran6290, and they came935 to 4714, unto 6547 king4428 of 4714; which gave5414 him an house1004, and appointed559 him victuals3899, and gave5414 him land776. And Hadad1908 found4672 great3966 favour2580 in the sight5869 of 6547, so that he gave5414 him to wife802 the sister269 of his own wife802, the sister269 of Tahpenes8472 the queen1377. And the sister269 of Tahpenes8472 bare3205 him Genubath1592 his son1121, whom Tahpenes8472 weaned1580 in8432 's6547 house1004: and Genubath1592 was in 's6547 household1004 among8432 the sons1121 of 6547. And when Hadad1908 heard8085 in 4714 that 1732 slept7901 with his fathers1, and that 3097 the captain8269 of the host6635 was dead4191, Hadad1908 said559 to 6547, Let me depart7971, that I may go3212 to mine own country776. Let: Heb. Send me away Then 6547 said559 unto him, But what hast thou lacked2638 with me, that, behold, thou seekest1245 to go3212 to thine own country776? And he answered559, Nothing: howbeit let me go7971 in any wise7971. Nothing: Heb. Not And God430 stirred him up6965 another adversary7854, Rezon7331 the son1121 of Eliadah450, which fled1272 from his lord113 Hadadezer1909 king4428 of Zobah6678: And he gathered6908 men582 unto him, and became captain8269 over a band1416, when 1732 slew2026 them of : and they went3212 to 1834, and dwelt3427 therein, and reigned4427 in 1834. And he was an adversary7854 to 3478 all the days3117 of 8010, beside the mischief7451 that Hadad1908 did: and he abhorred6973 3478, and reigned4427 over 758. And 3379 the son1121 of Nebat5028, an Ephrathite673 of Zereda6868, Solomon's8010 servant5650, whose mother's517 name8034 was Zeruah6871, a widow490 woman802, even he lifted up7311 his hand3027 against the king4428. And this was the cause1697 that he lifted up7311 his hand3027 against the king4428: 8010 built1129 Millo4407, and repaired5462 the breaches6556 of the city5892 of 1732 his father1. repaired: Heb. closed And the man376 3379 was a mighty man1368 of valour2428: and 8010 seeing7200 the young man5288 that he was industrious6213 4399, he made him ruler6485 over all the charge5447 of the house1004 of 3130. was industrious: Heb. did work charge: Heb. burden And it came to pass at that time6256 when 3379 went out3318 of 3389, that the prophet5030 Ahijah281 the Shilonite7888 found4672 him in the way1870; and he had clad3680 himself with a new2319 garment8008; and they two8147 were alone in the field7704: And Ahijah281 caught8610 the new2319 garment8008 that was him, and rent7167 it in twelve8147 6240 pieces7168: And he said559 to 3379, Take3947 thee ten6235 pieces7168: for thus saith559 the LORD3068, the God430 of 3478, Behold, I will rend7167 the kingdom4467 out of the hand3027 of 8010, and will give5414 ten6235 tribes7626 to thee: (But he shall have one259 tribe7626 for my servant5650 's1732 sake, and for 's3389 sake, the city5892 which I have chosen977 out of all the tribes7626 of 3478:) Because that they have forsaken5800 me, and have worshipped7812 Ashtoreth6253 the goddess430 of the Zidonians6722, Chemosh3645 the god430 of the 4124, and Milcom4445 the god430 of the children1121 of 5983, and have not walked1980 in my ways1870, to do6213 that which is right3477 in mine eyes5869, and to keep my statutes2708 and my judgments4941, as did 1732 his father1. Howbeit I will not take3947 the whole kingdom4467 out of his hand3027: but I will make7896 him prince5387 all the days3117 of his life2416 for 1732 my servant's5650 sake, whom I chose977, because he kept8104 my commandments4687 and my statutes2708: But I will take3947 the kingdom4410 out of his son's1121 hand3027, and will give5414 it unto thee, even ten6235 tribes7626. And unto his son1121 will I give5414 one259 tribe7626, that 1732 my servant5650 may have a light5216 alway3117 before6440 me in 3389, the city5892 which I have chosen977 me to 7760 my name8034 there. light: Heb. , or, candle And I will take3947 thee, and thou shalt reign4427 according to all that thy soul5315 desireth183, and shalt be king4428 over 3478. And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken8085 unto all that I command6680 thee, and wilt walk1980 in my ways1870, and do6213 that is right3477 in my sight5869, to keep8104 my statutes2708 and my commandments4687, as 1732 my servant5650 did6213; that I will be with thee, and build1129 thee a sure539 house1004, as I built1129 for 1732, and will give5414 3478 unto thee. And I will for this afflict6031 the seed2233 of 1732, but not for ever3117. 8010 sought1245 therefore to kill4191 3379. And 3379 arose6965, and fled1272 into 4714, unto Shishak7895 king4428 of 4714, and was in 4714 until the death4194 of 8010. And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of 8010, and all that he did6213, and his 2451, are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the acts1697 of 8010? acts: or, words, or, things And the time3117 that 8010 reigned4427 in 3389 over all 3478 was forty705 years8141. time: Heb. days And 8010 slept7901 with his fathers1, and was buried6912 in the city5892 of 1732 his father1: and 7346 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead. : Gr.
