1 Kings 11 : 1 (MKJV)

And King Solomon loved many foreign women, even the daughter of Pharaoh, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, Hittites;

1 Kings 11 : 2 (MKJV)

of the nations which Jehovah had said to the sons of Israel, You shall not go in to them, and they shall not go in to you; surely they will turn away your heart after their gods. Solomon clung to these in love.

1 Kings 11 : 3 (MKJV)

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And his wives turned away his heart.

1 Kings 11 : 4 (MKJV)

For it happened when Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods. And his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as was the heart of David his father.

1 Kings 11 : 5 (MKJV)

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom, the abomination of the Ammonites;

1 Kings 11 : 6 (MKJV)

and Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and did not go fully after Jehovah like his father David.

1 Kings 11 : 7 (MKJV)

Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill which is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the sons of Ammon.

1 Kings 11 : 8 (MKJV)

And likewise he did for all his foreign wives, and burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

1 Kings 11 : 9 (MKJV)

And Jehovah was angry with Solomon because his heart was turned from Jehovah, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice

1 Kings 11 : 10 (MKJV)

and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; and he did not keep that which Jehovah commanded.

1 Kings 11 : 11 (MKJV)

And Jehovah said to Solomon, Since this is done by you, and since you have not kept My covenant and My statutes which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant.

1 Kings 11 : 12 (MKJV)

But I will not do it in your days, for David your father's sake, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

1 Kings 11 : 13 (MKJV)

Only, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son for David My servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

1 Kings 11 : 14 (MKJV)

And it happened Jehovah stirred up a foe to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He was of the king's seed in Edom.

1 Kings 11 : 15 (MKJV)

For it happened when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, after he had stricken every male in Edom--

1 Kings 11 : 16 (MKJV)

for Joab remained there six months with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom--

1 Kings 11 : 17 (MKJV)

it happened that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go to Egypt, Hadad being still a little child.

1 Kings 11 : 18 (MKJV)

And they arose out of Midian and came to Paran. And they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and appointed food for him, and gave him land.

1 Kings 11 : 19 (MKJV)

And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him the sister of his own wife for a wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

1 Kings 11 : 20 (MKJV)

And 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.

1 Kings 11 : 21 (MKJV)

And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, even Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart so that I may go to my own land.

1 Kings 11 : 22 (MKJV)

And Pharaoh said to him, But what have you lacked with me that, behold, you seek to go to your land? And he answered, Nothing; however, you shall certainly send me away.

1 Kings 11 : 23 (MKJV)

And God stirred up another foe, to him, Rezon the son of Eliadah, who fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.

1 Kings 11 : 24 (MKJV)

And he gathered men to him, and became head over a band when David killed them. And they went to Damascus and lived in it, and reigned in Damascus.

1 Kings 11 : 25 (MKJV)

And he was a foe to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief which Hadad did. And he hated Israel and reigned over Syria.

1 Kings 11 : 26 (MKJV)

And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, he too lifted up his hand against the king.

1 Kings 11 : 27 (MKJV)

And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king. Solomon built Millo and repaired the breaks of the city of David his father.

1 Kings 11 : 28 (MKJV)

And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of war. And Solomon, seeing that the young man was doing work, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.

And it happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh found him in the way. And he had clothed himself with a new garment. And the two of them were alone in the field.

1 Kings 11 : 30 (MKJV)

And Ahijah caught hold of the new robe on him, and tore it in twelve pieces.

1 Kings 11 : 31 (MKJV)

And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten pieces for yourself. For so says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you,

1 Kings 11 : 32 (MKJV)

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,

1 Kings 11 : 33 (MKJV)

because they have forsaken Me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the goddess of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do what is right in My eyes, and to keep My statutes and My judgments, as David his father did.

1 Kings 11 : 34 (MKJV)

But 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, because he kept My commandments and My statutes.

1 Kings 11 : 35 (MKJV)

But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it to you, ten tribes.

1 Kings 11 : 36 (MKJV)

And to his son I will give one tribe, so that David My servant may have a light always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Me, to put My name there.

1 Kings 11 : 37 (MKJV)

And I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.

1 Kings 11 : 38 (MKJV)

And if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as David My servant did, it shall happen that I will be with you and build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.

1 Kings 11 : 39 (MKJV)

And for this I will afflict the seed of David, but not forever.

1 Kings 11 : 40 (MKJV)
