7
Then did Shlomo build a high place for Kemosh the abomination of Mo'av, on the mountain that is before Yerushalayim, and for Molekh the abomination of the children of `Ammon.
8
So did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9
The LORD was angry with Shlomo, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, who had appeared to him twice,
10
and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he didn't keep that which the LORD commanded.
11
Therefore the LORD said to Shlomo, Because this is done of 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.
12
Notwithstanding in your days I will not do it, for David your father's sake: but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.
13
However 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 Yerushalayim's sake which I have chosen.
14
The LORD raised up an adversary to Shlomo, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
15
For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Yo'av the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom
16
(for Yo'av and all Yisra'el remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom);
17
that Hadad fled, he and certain Edom of his father's servants with him, to go into Mitzrayim, Hadad being yet a little child.
