1Tetapi raja Salomo mengasihi banyak perempuan asing, bersama anak perempuan Firaun, dia mengasihi perempuan-perempuan Moab, Amon, Edom, Zidon, dan Het;
2Iaitu bangsa-bangsa yang TUHAN berkata kepada anak-anak Israel, Kalian tidak akan masuk campur dengan mereka, dan juga mereka tidak akan masuk campur dengan kalian: sebab tentulah mereka akan memalingkan hati kalian untuk menuruti allah-allah mereka: Salomo berpaut kepada mereka dengan kasih.
3Dan dia memiliki tujuh ratus isteri, iaitu puteri-puteri, dan tiga ratus gundik: dan isteri-isterinya memesongkan hatinya.
4Sebab terjadilah, ketika Salomo sudah tua, bahawa isteri-isterinya memesongkan hatinya untuk menuruti allah-allah lain: dan hatinya tidak sempurna dengan TUHAN Allahnya, seperti kesempurnaan hati Daud, ayahnya.
5Sebab Salomo pergi menuruti Asytoret, dewi orang Sidon, dan menuruti Milkom, dewa kekejian orang Amon,
6Dan Salomo berbuat jahat di mata TUHAN, dan tidak menuruti sepenuh-penuhnya TUHAN, seperti yang dilakukan Daud, ayahnya.
7Kemudian Salomo membina tempat pemujaan yang tinggi untuk Kamos, dewa kekejian Moab, di bukit yang ada di depan Yerusalem, dan untuk Molokh, dewa kekejian bani Amon.
8Dan demikian juga dilakukannya bagi semua isteri asingnya, yang membakar dupa dan mengorban kepada allah-allah mereka.
9Dan TUHAN marah dengan Salomo, kerana hatinya menyeleweng daripada TUHAN Allah Israel, yang telah memperlihatkan diri kepadanya dua kali,
10Dan telah memerintahkannya berkenaan hal ini, bahawa dia tidak harus pergi menuruti allah-allah lain: tetapi dia tidak memegang apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
11Lantaran itu, TUHAN berkata kepada Salomo, Sebanyak semana ini telah dilakukanmu, dan kamu tidak memegang waadku dan ketetapan-ketetapanku, yang telah kuperintahkan kepadamu, aku akan pasti mengoyak kerajaan daripadamu, dan akan memberinya kepada hambamu.
12Walau bagaimanapun pada hari-hari hayatmu aku tidak akan melakukannya demi Daud ayahmu: tetapi aku akan mengoyakkannya dari tangan anak lelakimu.
13Namun aku tidak akan mengoyak seluruh kerajaan; tetapi akan memberi satu suku kaum kepada anak lelakimu demi Daud hambaku, dan demi Yerusalem yang telah kupilih.
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.Let�: Heb. Send me away
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.Nothing: Heb. Not
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.repaired: Heb. closed
28Dan Yerobeam seorang yang gagah perkasa: dan Salomo, sementara melihat lelaki muda itu seorang yang sungguh rajin, menjadikannya penguasa atas segala kekuasaan bani Yusuf.
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.
36Dan kepada anaknya akan kuberi satu suku kaum, supaya Daud hambaku boleh ada satu cahaya selalu di hadapanku di Yerusalem, iaitu kota yang telah kupilih untuk menaruh namaku di sana.
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?acts: or, words, or, things
42And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.time: Heb. days
43And 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
