King Solomon loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh's daughter—Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women.

But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;

These were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, 'You must not intermarry with them, and they must not intermarry with you, for they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.' Nevertheless, Solomon clung to them in love.

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.

He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart away.

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

As Solomon grew older, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his father had been.

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.

Solomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not fully follow the LORD as David his father had done.

And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.

At that time Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, on the hill east of Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the Ammonites.

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.

He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods.

And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

The LORD became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.

And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,

Although He commanded Solomon not to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD's command.

And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.

So the LORD said to Solomon, 'Since this is your attitude and you have not kept My covenant and decrees, which I commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates.'

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.

'Nevertheless, for the sake of David your father, I will not do it during your lifetime. I will tear it out of the hand of your son.'

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.

'However, I will not tear away the entire kingdom. I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of David My servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.'

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.

Then the LORD raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom.

And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

When David was in Edom and Joab, the commander of the army, went up to bury the dead, they killed every male in Edom.

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;

Joab and all Israel remained there for six months until every male in Edom had been destroyed.

(For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)

But Hadad fled to Egypt with some Edomites, who were servants of his father. At the time, he was still a young boy.

That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.

They set out from Midian and went to Paran. Taking men from Paran with them, they entered Egypt and went to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, who gave him a house, food, and land.

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.

Hadad found great favor with Pharaoh, who gave him a wife—the sister of his own wife, the queen Tahpenes.

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.

Tahpenes' sister bore Hadad a son named Genubath, whom Tahpenes raised in Pharaoh’s palace among Pharaoh’s own children.

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.

While in Egypt, Hadad heard that David had died and that Joab, the commander of the army, was dead as well. So Hadad said to Pharaoh, 'Let me go, so I may return to my own country.'

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.

Pharaoh asked him, 'What are you lacking here with me that you want to go back to your land?' But Hadad replied, 'Nothing, but please let me go.'

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.

God raised up another adversary against Solomon—Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Hadadezer, the king of Zobah.

And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:

Gathering men around him, he became the leader of a band of raiders after David defeated Zobah's forces. They went to Damascus, lived there, and established a kingdom in Damascus.

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.

Rezon was Israel's adversary as long as Solomon lived, causing trouble along with Hadad. He ruled over Aram and loathed Israel.

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.

Then Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, whose mother, a widow named Zeruah, was one of Solomon’s officials, rebelled against the king.

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.

This is the reason Jeroboam raised his hand against the king: Solomon had built the Millo and repaired the breach of the city of David, his father.

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.

Jeroboam was a capable man, and when Solomon saw how well the young man did his work, he appointed him over all the forced labor of the house of Joseph.

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.

It happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the road. Ahijah was wearing a new cloak, and the two of them were alone in the field.

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:

Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing and tore it into twelve pieces.

And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:

Then he said to Jeroboam, 'Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Behold, I am about to tear the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand and give you ten tribes.'

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:

'But one tribe will remain for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.'

(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:)

'For they have forsaken Me and worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites. They have not walked in My ways, done what is right in My sight, or kept My statutes and judgments as David, his father, did.'

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.

'However, I will not take the whole kingdom from him but will allow him to remain ruler all his life for the sake of my servant David, whom I chose and who kept My commands and statutes.'

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:

'I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and give you ten tribes.'

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

'But to his son, I will give one tribe, so that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city I have chosen for Myself to put My name there.'

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.

I will take you, and you will reign over all that your heart desires, and you will be king over Israel.

And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.

If you listen to all that I command you and walk in My ways, doing what is right in My eyes by keeping My statutes and commands, as My servant David did, then I will be with you. I will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

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.

I will humble David’s descendants because of this, but not forever.

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

Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak, king of Egypt. He stayed in Egypt until Solomon died.

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.

As for 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?

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?

Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.

And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

Then Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David, his father. And Rehoboam, his son, reigned in his place.

And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
