1 Reyes 11
Diodati 1885
1ORA il re Salomone amò, oltre alla figliuola di Faraone, molte donne straniere, Moabite, Ammonite, Idumee, Sidonie, Hittee,
2delle nazioni delle quali il Signore avea detto a' figliuoli di Israele: Non entrate da esse, ed esse non entrino da voi; per certo esse faranno rivolgere il cuor vostro dietro ai loro dii; a quelle si congiunse Salomone per amore.
3Ed ebbe settecento donne principesse, e trecento concubine; e le sue donne sviarono il suo cuore.
4Al tempo della sua vecchiezza avvenne che le sue donne sviarono il suo cuore dietro ad altri dii; ed il suo cuore non fu intiero inverso il Signore Iddio suo, come era stato il cuor di Davide, suo padre.
5E Salomone andò dietro ad Astoret, dio de' Sidonii; e dietro a Milcom, abbominazione degli Ammoniti.
6Così Salomone fece ciò che dispiace al Signore; e non seguitò il Signore appieno, come avea fatto Davide, suo padre.
7Allora Salomone edificò un alto luogo a Chemos, abbominazione di Moab, nel monte ch'è dirimpetto a Gerusalemme; ed a Molec, abbominazione de' figliuoli di Ammon.
8Il simigliante fece per tutte le sue donne straniere, le quali facevano profumi, e sacrificavano agl'iddii loro.
9Perciò il Signore si adirò contro a Salomone, perchè il suo cuore s'era sviato dal Signore Iddio d'Israele, che gli era apparito due volte.
10E gli avea fatto comandamento intorno a questo, ch'egli non andasse dietro ad altri dii; ma egli non osservò ciò che il Signore avea comandato.
11E il Signore disse a Salomone: Perciocchè questo è stato in te, e tu non hai osservato il mio patto, ed i miei statuti, i quali io ti avea imposti; io del tutto straccerò il reame d'addosso a te, e lo darò al tuo servitore.
12Ma pure, per amor di Davide, tuo padre, io non farò questo a' tuoi dì; io lo straccerò d'infra le mani del tuo figliuolo.
13Nondimeno, io non istraccerò tutto il reame; io ne darò una tribù al tuo figliuolo, per amor di Davide, mio servitore; e per amor di Gerusalemme, che io ho eletta.
14IL Signore adunque fece sorgere un avversario a Salomone, cioè Hadad Idumeo, ch'era del sangue reale di Edom.
15Perciocchè avvenne, quando Davide era in Idumea, allora che Ioab, Capo dell'esercito, salì per far sotterrar gli uccisi, e percosse tutti i maschi d'Idumea
16(perciocchè Ioab, con tutto Israele, dimorò quivi sei mesi, finchè ebbe distrutti tutti i maschi d'Idumea),
17che Hadad se ne fuggì, con alcuni uomini Idumei, de' servitori di suo padre, per ridursi in Egitto. (Or Hadad era giovanetto.)
18Costoro adunque si partirono di Madian, e vennero in Paran, e presero con loro degli uomini di Paran, e vennero in Egitto a Faraone, re di Egitto, il quale diede ad Hadad una casa, e gli assegnò il suo vitto, ed anche gli diede una terra.
19Ed Hadad venne molto in grazia di Faraone; ed esso gli diede per moglie la sorella della sua moglie, la sorella della regina Tafnes.
20E la sorella di Tafnes gli partorì Ghenubat, suo figliuolo, il quale Tafnes allevò nella casa di Faraone; e Ghenubat fu nella casa di Faraone per mezzo i figliuoli di esso.
21Ora, quando Hadad ebbe inteso in Egitto, che Davide giaceva co' suoi padri, e che Ioab, capo dell'esercito, era morto, disse a Faraone: Dammi licenza che io me ne vada al mio paese.
22E Faraone gli disse: Ma che ti manca appresso di me, che ecco tu cerchi di andartene al tuo paese? Ed gli disse: Nulla; ma pur dammi licenza.
23Iddio fece ancora sorgere un altro avversario a Salomone, cioè: Rezon, figliuolo d'Eliada, il quale se n'era fuggito d'appresso Hadadezer, re di Soba, suo signore.
24Or egli adunò appresso di sè della gente, e fu capo di scherani, quando Davide uccideva quella gente. Poi egli ed i suoi andarono in Damasco, e dimorarono quivi, e regnarono in Damasco.
25E Rezon fu avversario ad Israele tutto il tempo di Salomone, oltre al male che fece Hadad; ed infestò Israele, e regnò sopra la Siria.
26GEROBOAMO ancora, figliuolo di Nebat Efrateo, da Sereda, servo di Salomone, il nome della cui madre era Serua, donna vedova, si levò contro al re.
27E questa fu la cagione, per la quale si levò contro al re: Salomone edificava Millo, e chiudeva la rottura della Città di Davide, suo padre.
28Or quell'uomo Geroboamo era valente e prode; e Salomone, veggendo il giovane che lavorava, l'ordinò sopra quelli della casa di Giuseppe, che portavano pesi.
29Ora, essendo in quel tempo Geroboamo uscito fuor di Gerusalemme, il profeta Ahia Silonita lo trovò per la via, vestito d'una vesta nuova; ed erano amendue soli in su la campagna.
30Ed Ahia prese la vesta nuova ch'egli avea indosso, e la stracciò in dodici pezzi.
31E disse a Geroboamo: Prenditene dieci pezzi; perciocchè il Signore Iddio d'Israele ha detto così: Ecco, io straccio il reame d'infra le mani di Salomone, e te ne darò dieci tribù.
32Ed a lui ne resterà una tribù, per amor di Davide, suo padre, e per amor di Gerusalemme, che è la città ch'io ho eletta d'infra tutte le tribù d'Israele.
33Perciocchè essi mi hanno abbandonato, ed hanno adorato Astoret, dio de' Sidonii, e Chemos, dio de' Moabiti, e Milcom, dio de' figliuoli di Ammon; e non son camminati nelle mie vie, per far ciò che mi piace, e per mettere in opera i miei statuti, e le mie leggi, come fece Davide, padre di Salomone.
34Ma pure io non torrò dalle mani di lui nulla di tutto il reame; anzi lo manterrò principe tutto il tempo della vita sua, per amor di Davide, mio servitore, che io ho eletto, il quale ha osservati i miei comandamenti ed i miei statuti.
35Ma io torrò il reame di mano al suo figliuolo, e ne darò a te dieci tribù;
36ed al suo figliuolo ne darò una tribù; acciocchè vi resti del continuo una lampana a Davide, mio servitore, davanti a me, in Gerusalemme, che è la città, la quale io ho eletta per mettervi il mio Nome.
37Io adunque ti prenderò, e tu regnerai interamente secondo il desiderio dell'anima tua, e sarai re sopra Israele.
38Ed avverrà che, se tu ubbidisci a tutto quello che io ti comanderò, e cammini nelle mie vie, e fai ciò che mi piace, osservando i miei statuti ed i miei comandamenti, come ha fatto Davide, mio servitore, io sarò teco, e ti edificherò una casa stabile, come io l'avea edificata a Davide, e ti darò Israele.
39Ed io affliggerò la progenie di Davide per questo, ma non già in perpetuo.
40Perciò Salomone cercò di far morire Geroboamo; ma egli si levò, e se ne fuggì in Egitto, a Sisac, re di Egitto, e dimorò in Egitto fino alla morte di Salomone.
41ORA, quant'è al rimanente dei fatti di Salomone, ed a quello ch'egli fece, ed alla sua sapienza; queste cose non sono esse scritte nel Libro dei fatti di Salomone?
42Ora il tempo che Salomone regnò in Gerusalemme sopra tutto Israele, fu di quarant'anni.
43Poi Salomone giacque co' suoi padri, e fu seppellito nella Città di Davide, suo padre; e Roboamo, suo figliuolo, regnò in luogo suo.
Reina-Valera 1909
1EMPERO el rey Salomón amó, á más de la hija de Faraón, muchas mujeres extranjeras: á las de Moab, á las de Ammón, á las de Idumea, á las de Sidón, y á las Hetheas;
2Gentes de las cuales Jehová había dicho á los hijos de Israel: No entraréis á ellas, ni ellas entrarán á vosotros; porque ciertamente harán inclinar vuestros corazones tras sus dioses. A éstas pues se juntó Salomón con amor.
3Y tuvo setecientas mujeres reinas, y trescientas concubinas; y sus mujeres torcieron su corazón.
4Y ya que Salomón era viejo, sus mujeres inclinaron su corazón tras dioses ajenos; y su corazón no era perfecto con Jehová su Dios, como el corazón de su padre David.
5Porque Salomón siguió á Astaroth, diosa de los Sidonios, y á Milcom, abominación de los Ammonitas.
6E hizo Salomón lo malo en los ojos de Jehová, y no fué cumplidamente tras Jehová como David su padre.
7Entonces edificó Salomón un alto á Chêmos, abominación de Moab, en el monte que está enfrente de Jerusalem; y á Moloch, abominación de los hijos de Ammón.
8Y así hizo para todas sus mujeres extranjeras, las cuales quemaban perfumes, y sacrificaban á sus dioses.
9Y enojóse Jehová contra Salomón, por cuanto estaba su corazón desviado de Jehová Dios de Israel, que le había aparecido dos veces,
10Y le había mandado acerca de esto, que no siguiese dioses ajenos: mas él no guardó lo que le mandó Jehová.
11Y dijo Jehová á Salomón: Por cuanto ha habido esto en ti, y no has guardado mi pacto y mis estatutos que yo te mandé, romperé el reino de ti, y lo entregaré á tu siervo.
12Empero no lo haré en tus días, por amor de David tu padre: romperélo de la mano de tu hijo.
13Sin embargo no romperé todo el reino, sino que daré una tribu á tu hijo, por amor de David mi siervo, y por amor de Jerusalem que yo he elegido.
14Y Jehová suscitó un adversario á Salomón, á Adad, Idumeo, de la sangre real, el cual estaba en Edom.
15Porque cuando David estaba en Edom, y subió Joab el general del ejército á enterrar los muertos, y mató á todos los varones de Edom,
16(Porque seis meses habitó allí Joab, y todo Israel, hasta que hubo acabado á todo el sexo masculino en Edom;)
17Entonces huyó Adad, y con él algunos varones Idumeos de los siervos de su padre, y fuése á Egipto; era entonces Adad muchacho pequeño.
18Y levantáronse de Madián, y vinieron á Parán; y tomando consigo hombres de Parán, viniéronse á Egipto, á Faraón rey de Egipto, el cual le dió casa, y le señaló alimentos, y aun le dió tierra.
19Y halló Adad grande gracia delante de Faraón, el cual le dió por mujer á la hermana de su esposa, á la hermana de la reina Thaphnes.
20Y la hermana de Thaphnes le parió á su hijo Genubath, al cual destetó Thaphnes dentro de la casa de Faraón; y estaba Genubath en casa de Faraón entre los hijos de Faraón.
21Y oyendo Adad en Egipto que David había dormido con sus padres, y que era muerto Joab general del ejército, Adad dijo á Faraón: Déjame ir á mi tierra.
22Y respondióle Faraón: ¿Por qué? ¿qué te falta conmigo, que procuras irte á tu tierra? Y él respondió: Nada; con todo, ruégote que me dejes ir.
23Despertóle también Dios por adversario á Rezón, hijo de Eliada, el cual había huído de su amo Adad-ezer, rey de Soba.
24Y había juntado gente contra él, y habíase hecho capitán de una compañía, cuando David deshizo á los de Soba. Después se fueron á Damasco, y habitaron allí, é hiciéronle rey en Damasco.
25Y fué adversario á Israel todos los días de Salomón; y fué otro mal con el de Adad, porque aborreció á Israel, y reinó sobre la Siria.
26Asimismo Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, Ephrateo de Sereda, siervo de Salomón, (su madre se llamaba Serva, mujer viuda) alzó su mano contra el rey.
27Y la causa por qué éste alzó mano contra el rey, fué esta: Salomón edificando á Millo, cerró el portillo de la ciudad de David su padre.
28Y el varón Jeroboam era valiente y esforzado; y viendo Salomón al mancebo que era hombre activo, encomendóle todo el cargo de la casa de José.
29Aconteció pues en aquel tiempo, que saliendo Jeroboam de Jerusalem, topóle en el camino el profeta Ahías Silonita; y él estaba cubierto con una capa nueva; y estaban ellos dos solos en el campo.
30Y trabando Ahías de la capa nueva que tenía sobre sí, rompióla en doce pedazos,
31Y dijo á Jeroboam: Toma para ti los diez pedazos; porque así dijo Jehová Dios de Israel: He aquí que yo rompo el reino de la mano de Salomón, y á ti daré diez tribus;
32(Y él tendrá una tribu, por amor de David mi siervo, y por amor de Jerusalem, ciudad que yo he elegido de todas las tribus de Israel:)
33Por cuanto me han dejado, y han adorado á Astharoth diosa de los Sidonios, y á Chêmos dios de Moab, y á Moloch dios de los hijos de Ammón; y no han andado en mis caminos, para hacer lo recto delante de mis ojos, y mis estatutos, y mis derechos, como hizo David su padre.
34Empero no quitaré nada de su reino de sus manos, sino que lo retendré por caudillo todos los días de su vida, por amor de David mi siervo, al cual yo elegí, y él guardó mis mandamientos y mis estatutos:
35Mas yo quitaré el reino de la mano de su hijo, y darélo á ti, las diez tribus.
36Y á su hijo daré una tribu, para que mi siervo David tenga lámpara todos los días delante de mí en Jerusalem, ciudad que yo me elegí para poner en ella mi nombre.
37Yo pues te tomaré á ti, y tú reinarás en todas las cosas que deseare tu alma, y serás rey sobre Israel.
38Y será que, si prestares oído á todas las cosas que te mandare, y anduvieres en mis caminos, é hicieres lo recto delante de mis ojos, guardando mis estatutos y mis mandamientos, como hizo David mi siervo, yo seré contigo, y te edificaré casa firme, como la edifiqué á David, y yo te entregaré á Israel.
39Y yo afligiré la simiente de David á causa de esto, mas no para siempre.
40Procuró por tanto Salomón de matar á Jeroboam, pero levantándose Jeroboam, huyó á Egipto, á Sisac rey de Egipto, y estuvo en Egipto hasta la muerte de Salomón.
41Lo demás de los hechos de Salomón, y todas las cosas que hizo, y su sabiduría, ¿no están escritas en el libro de los hechos de Salomón?
42Y los días que Salomón reinó en Jerusalem sobre todo Israel, fueron cuarenta años.
43Y durmió Salomón con sus padres, y fué sepultado en la ciudad de su padre David: y reinó en su lugar Roboam su hijo.
King James Version
1But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
2Of 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.
3And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
4For 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.
5For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
7Then 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.
8And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
9And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
10And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
11Wherefore 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.
12Notwithstanding 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.
13Howbeit 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.
14And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom.
15For 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:)
17That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.
18And 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.
19And 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.
20And 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.
21And 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.
22Then 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.
23And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
24And 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.
25And 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.
26And 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.
27And 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.
28And 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.
29And 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:
30And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:
31And 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:)
33Because 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.
34Howbeit 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:
35But I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.
36And 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.
37And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
38And 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.
39And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
40Solomon 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.
41And 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?
42And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
43And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
World English Bible
1Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites,
2of the nations concerning which the LORD said to the children of Israel, “You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon joined to these in love.
3He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. His wives turned his heart away.
4When Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father was.
5For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6Solomon did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and didn’t go fully after the LORD, as David his father did.
7Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8So he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9The LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he didn’t keep that which the LORD commanded.
11Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, “Because this is done by you, and 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.
12Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days, for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it out of your son’s hand.
13However, 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.”
14The LORD raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite. He was one of the king’s offspring in Edom.
15For when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom
16(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom),
17Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, when Hadad was still a little child.
18They 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 him food, and gave him land.
19Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
20The 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.
21When Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.”
22Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you seek to go to your own country?” He answered, “Nothing, however only let me depart.”
23God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadadezer king of Zobah.
24He gathered men to himself, and became captain over a troop, when David killed them of Zobah. They went to Damascus and lived there, and reigned in Damascus.
25He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, in addition to the mischief of Hadad. He abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
26Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king.
27This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of his father David’s city.
28The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, and he put him in charge of all the labor of the house of Joseph.
29At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the way. Now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and the two of them were alone in the field.
30Ahijah took the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces.
31He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces; for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘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 my servant David’s sake and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel),
33because they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.
34“‘However, 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, who kept my commandments and my statutes,
35but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
36I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
37I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.
38It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
39I will afflict the offspring of David for this, but not forever.’”
40Therefore Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, aren’t they written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
42The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
43Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
