1	But king Solomon loved# many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; [together...: or, beside]
			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. [Milcom: also called, Molech]
			6	And Solomon did# evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully# after the LORD, as did David his father. [went...: Heb. fulfilled not after]
			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. [is done...: Heb. is with thee]
			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. [Let...: Heb. Send me away]
			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# . [Nothing: Heb. Not]
			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. [repaired: Heb. closed]
			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. [was industrious: Heb. did work] [charge: Heb. burden]
			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. [light: Heb. lamp, or, candle]
			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? [acts: or, words, or, things]
			42	And the time that Solomon reigned# in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. [time: Heb. days]
			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. [Rehoboam: Gr. Roboam]
