1 Kings 11

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Now a number of strange women were loved by Solomon, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

2 The nations of which the Lord had said to the children of Israel, You are not to take wives from them and they are not to take wives from you; or they will certainly make you go after their gods: to these Solomon was united in love.

3 He had seven hundred wives, daughters of kings, and three hundred other wives; and through his wives his heart was turned away.

4 For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been.

5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.

6 And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.

7 Then Solomon put up a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, in the mountain before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the disgusting god worshipped by the children of Ammon.

8 And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.

9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had twice come to him in a vision;

10 And had given him orders about this very thing, that he was not to go after other gods; but he did not keep the orders of the Lord.

11 So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant.

12 I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from your son.

13 Still I will not take all the kingdom from him; but I will give one tribe to your son, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town of my selection.

14 So the Lord sent Hadad the Edomite to make trouble for Solomon: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

15 And when David had sent destruction on Edom, and Joab, the captain of the army, had gone to put the dead into the earth, and had put to death every male in Edom;

16 (For Joab and all Israel were there six months till every male in Edom had been cut off;)

17 Hadad, being still a young boy, went in flight to Egypt, with certain Edomites, servants of his father;

18 And they went on from Midian and came to Paran; and, taking men from Paran with them, they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who gave him a house and gave orders for his food and gave him land.

19 Now Hadad was very pleasing to Pharaoh, so that he gave him the sister of his wife, Tahpenes the queen, for his wife.

20 And the sister of Tahpenes had a son by him, Genubath, whom Tahpenes took care of in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was living in Pharaoh's house among Pharaoh's sons.

21 Now when Hadad had news in Egypt that David had been put to rest with his fathers, and that Joab, the captain of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, Send me back to my country.

22 But Pharaoh said to him, What have you been short of while you have been with me, that you are desiring to go back to your country? And he said, Nothing; but even so, send me back.

23 And God sent another trouble-maker, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had gone in flight from his lord, Hadadezer, king of Zobah:

24 He got some men together and made himself captain of a band of outlaws; and went to Damascus and became king there.

25 He was a trouble to Israel all through the days of Solomon. And this is the damage Hadad did: he was cruel to Israel while he was ruler over Edom.

26 And there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was Zeruah, a widow; and his hand was lifted up against the king.

27 The way in which his hand came to be lifted up against the king was this: Solomon was building the Millo and making good the damaged parts of the town of his father David;

28 And Jeroboam was an able and responsible man; and Solomon saw that he was a good worker and made him overseer of all the work given to the sons of Joseph.

29 Now at that time, when Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road; now Ahijah had put on a new robe; and the two of them were by themselves in the open country.

30 And Ahijah took his new robe in his hands, parting it violently into twelve.

31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten of the parts, for this is what the Lord has said: See, I will take the kingdom away from Solomon by force, and will give ten tribes to you;

32 (But one tribe will be his, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town which, out of all the tribes of Israel, I have made mine,)

33 Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws and my decisions as his father David did.

34 But I will not take the kingdom from him; I will let him be king all the days of his life, because of David my servant, in whom I took delight because he kept my orders and my laws.

35 But I will take the kingdom from his son, and give it to you.

36 And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.

37 And you I will take, and you will be king over Israel, ruling over whatever is the desire of your soul.

38 And if you give attention to the orders I give you, walking in my ways and doing what is right in my eyes and keeping my laws and my orders as David my servant did; then I will be with you, building up for you a safe house, as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.

39 (So that I may send trouble for this on the seed of David, but not for ever.)

40 And Solomon was looking for a chance to put Jeroboam to death; but he went in flight to Egypt, to Shishak, king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.

41 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all he did, and his wisdom, are they not recorded in the book of the acts of Solomon?

42 And the time Solomon was king in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

43 And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Solomon went to rest with his fathers and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.

1 1 But Sh’lomo Hamelech loved nashim nokhriyyot rabbot (many foreign women), besides Bat Pharaoh: Moaviyyot, Ammoniyyot, Adomiyyot, Tzedeniyyot, Chittiyyot,

2 Of the Goyim concerning which Hashem said unto the Bnei Yisroel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you; for surely they will turn away your levav after their elohim; Sh’lomo made his deveykus unto these in love.

3 And he had nashim sarot sheva me’ot (seven hundred royal wives), and three hundred pilagshim; and his nashim inclined libo (his heart).

4 For it came to pass, when Sh’lomo was old, that his nashim inclined libo (his heart) after elohim acherim and levavo (his heart) was not shalem (undivided, fully devoted, complete) with Hashem Elohav, as was the levav Dovid Aviv.

5 For Sh’lomo went after Ashtoret elohei Tzidonim, and after Milcom shikkutz (the abomination of) Ammonim.

6 And Sh’lomo did the rah in the sight of Hashem, and went not fully after Hashem, as did Dovid Aviv.

7 Then did Sh’lomo build a high place for Kemosh, the shikkutz (abomination of) Moav, on the har (hill, i.e., Mount of Olives) that is facing Yerushalayim, and for Molech, the shikkutz (abomination of) the Bnei Ammon.

8 And likewise did he for all his nashim nokhriyyot, which burned ketoret and offered zevakhim unto their elohim.

9 And Hashem was angry with Sh’lomo, because levavo was turned from Hashem Elohei Yisroel, Who had appeared unto him twice,

10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after elohim acherim; but he was not shomer over that which Hashem commanded.

11 Wherefore Hashem said unto Sh’lomo, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not been shomer over My Brit (Covenant, Sinai Covenant) and My chukkot, which I have commanded thee, I will surely tear away the Mamlachah from thee, and will give it to thy eved (servant, that is, Yarov’am ben Nevat, see v. 26).

12 Notwithstanding in thy yamim I will not do it lema’an (for the sake of) Dovid Avicha; but I will tear it out of the yad binecha (power of thy son).

13 Howbeit I will not tear away kol hamamlachah; but will give shevet echad (one tribe) to binecha le’ma’an Dovid Avdi and lema’an Yerushalayim which I have chosen.

14 And Hashem raised up satan (adversary) unto Sh’lomo, Hadad HaAdomi; he was from the zera HaMelech in Edom.

15 For it came to pass, when Dovid was in Edom, and Yoav Sar HaTzava was gone up to bury the slain, after he had struck down every zakhar in Edom;

16 (For six months did Yoav remain there with kol Yisroel, until he had cut off every zakhar in Edom);

17 That Hadad fled, he and anashim Adomiyyim (certain men of Edom) of his father’s avadim with him, to go into Mitzrayim; Hadad being yet a na’ar katan (small child).

18 And they arose out of Midyan, and came to Paran; and they took anashim with them out of Paran, and they came to Mitzrayim, unto Pharaoh Melech Mitzrayim; who gave him a bais, and assigned him lechem, and gave him eretz.

19 And Hadad found chen me’od in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him for an isha the achot of his own isha, the achot Tachpeneis the gevirah (royal lady, queen).

20 And the achot of Tachpeneis bore him Genuvat bno, whom Tachpeneis weaned in Bais Pharaoh; and Genuvat was in Bais Pharaoh among the Bnei Pharaoh.

21 And when Hadad heard in Mitzrayim that Dovid slept with Avotav, and that Yoav Sar HaTzava was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own eretz.

22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, hinei, thou seekest to go to thine own eretz? And he answered, Nothing; howbeit let me go anyway.

23 And Elohim raised up against him [Sh’lomo] another satan, Rezon ben Elyada, which fled from adonav Hadadezer Melech Tzovah;

24 And he gathered anashim unto him, and became sar gedood (leader of a band of marauders), when Dovid slaughtered them of Tzovah; they went to Damascus, dwelt therein, and reigned he there as king.

25 And he was a satan to Yisroel all the days of Sh’lomo, in addition to ra’ah that Hadad did; and he despised Yisroel, and he ruled in Aram.

26 Also the eved Sh’lomo Yarov‘am ben Nevat, an Ephrati of the Tzreda (Zeredah), whose shem immo was Tzeruah, an almanah, even he lifted up his yad against HaMelech.

27 And this is the account of his lifting up his yad against HaMelech; Sh’lomo built the Millo, and closed up the peretz of Ir Dovid Aviv.

28 And the ish Yarov‘am was a gibbor chayil; and Sh’lomo seeing the na’ar that he was industrious, he put him over all the sevel (load, burden, enforced labor) of Bais Yosef.

29 And it came to pass at that time when Yarov‘am went out of Yerushalayim, that HaNavi Achiyah the Shiloni found him on the derech; and he had clothed himself with a salmah chadasha (new garment, cloak); and they two were alone in the sadeh;

30 And Achiyah took hold of the salmah chadasha that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces;

31 And he said to Yarov‘am, Take for thee ten pieces; for thus saith Hashem Elohei Yisroel, Hineni, I will tear the mamlachah out of the yad Sh’lomo, and will give to thee asarah hashevatim.

32 (But he shall have hashevet haechad l’ma’an Dovid Avdi, and l’ma’an Yerushalayim, the Ir which I have chosen out of kol shivtei Yisroel;)

33 Because that they have forsaken Me, and have worshiped Ashtoret elohei Tzidonim, Kemosh elohei Moav, and Milcom elohei Bnei Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which is yashar in Mine eyes, and My chukkot and My mishpatim, as did Dovid Aviv.

34 Howbeit I will not take the whole mamlachah out of his yad; but I will make him nasi all the days of his life l’ma’an Dovid Avdi, whom I chose, because he was shomer over My mitzvot and My chukkot;

35 But I will take the mamlachah out of yad beno, and will give it unto thee, even aseret hashevatim (ten tribes).

36 And unto bno will I give shevet echad (one tribe), l’ma’an Dovid Avdi may have a ner (lamp) always before Me in Yerushalayim, the Ir which I have chosen for Me to put My Shem there.

37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy nefesh desireth, and shalt be Melech over Yisroel.

38 And it shall be, if thou wilt pay heed unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in My ways, and do that is yashar in My sight, to be shomer over My chukkot and My mitzvot, as Dovid Avdi did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a bais ne’eman (enduring dynasty) as I built for Dovid, and will give Yisroel unto thee.

39 And I will for this afflict the zera Dovid [See Isaiah 53:10], but not forever.

40 Sh’lomo sought therefore to kill Yarov‘am. And Yarov‘am arose, and fled into Mitzrayim, unto Shishak Melech Mitzrayim, and was in Mitzrayim until the Mot Sh’lomo.

41 And the rest of the acts of Sh’lomo, and all that he did, and his chochmah, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei Sh’lomo?

42 And the time that Sh’lomo reigned in Yerushalayim over kol Yisroel was arba’im shanah.

43 And Sh’lomo slept with Avotav, and was buried in the Ir Dovid Aviv: and Rechav‘am bno reigned in his place.
