Salomos hustrur

11 Kung Salomo hade vid sidan om faraos dotter många andra utländska kvinnor som han älskade: moabitiskor, ammonitiskor, edomitiskor, sidoniskor och hetitiskor, 2 De hörde till folk som Herren hade talat om och sagt till Israels barn: "Ni skall inte gå in till dem, och de inte till er, eftersom de kommer att förleda era hjärtan att följa deras gudar." Till dessa höll sig Salomo och älskade dem. 3 Han hade sjuhundra furstliga gemåler och trehundra bihustrur, och dessa kvinnor förledde hans hjärta. 4 När Salomo blev gammal, förledde kvinnorna honom att följa andra gudar, så att hans hjärta inte förblev hängivet Herren, sin Gud, som hans fader Davids hjärta hade varit. 5 Salomo följde efter Astarte, sidoniernas gudinna, och Milkom, ammoniternas styggelse. 6 Salomo gjorde det som var ont i Herrens ögon och följde inte i allt efter Herren, så som hans fader David hade gjort. 7 Salomo byggde då en offerhöjd åt Kemosh, moabiternas styggelse, på berget öster om Jerusalem och likaså en åt Molok, ammoniternas styggelse. 8 På samma sätt gjorde han för alla sina utländska kvinnor, som fick tända offereld och offra åt sina gudar.

9 Herren blev vred på Salomo, därför att hans hjärta hade vänt sig bort från Herren, Israels Gud, som två gånger hade visat sig för honom. 10 Han hade givit honom befallning om denna sak: att han inte skulle följa efter andra gudar. Men han hade inte hållit vad Herren befallt. 11 Därför sade Herren till Salomo: "Eftersom det är så med dig och eftersom du inte har hållit mitt förbund och mina stadgar som jag har givit dig, skall jag rycka riket ifrån dig och ge det åt din tjänare. 12 Men för din fader Davids skull vill jag inte göra detta så länge du lever. Först ur din sons hand skall jag rycka det. 13 Dock skall jag inte rycka hela riket ifrån honom, utan en stam skall jag ge åt din son för min tjänare Davids skull, och för Jerusalems skull, som jag har utvalt."

Salomos fiender

14 Herren reste upp en motståndare[a] till Salomo. Det var edomiten Hadad som var släkt med kungen i Edom. 15 När David var i strid med Edom drog befälhavaren Joab upp för att begrava de stupade och han förgjorde alla av mankön i Edom. 16 Joab och hela Israel stannade där i sex månader till dess att han hade utrotat alla av mankön i Edom. 17 Då flydde Hadad tillsammans med några edomitiska män, som hade varit i hans fars tjänst, för att bege sig till Egypten. Hadad var då en ung pojke. 18 Sedan de brutit upp från Midjan kom de till Paran. De tog folk med sig från Paran och kom till Egypten, till farao, kungen i Egypten. Denne gav Hadad hus, underhåll och land. 19 Farao uppskattade Hadad så mycket att han till hustru gav honom en syster till sin gemål, en syster till drottning Tapenes. 20 Denna syster till Tapenes födde åt honom sonen Genubat, och Tapenes avvande honom i faraos hus. Sedan vistades Genubat i faraos hus bland faraos söner.

21 Medan Hadad var i Egypten, hörde han att David hade gått till vila hos sina fäder och att befälhavaren Joab var död. Han sade då till farao: "Låt mig fara hem till mitt land." 22 Men farao sade till honom: "Vad saknar du här hos mig, eftersom du vill fara hem till ditt land?" Men han svarade: "Ingenting, men låt mig ändå ge mig av."

23 Gud reste upp ännu en motståndare till Salomo. Det var Rezon, Eljadas son, som hade flytt från sin herre Hadadezer, kungen i Soba. 24 När David åstadkom ett blodbad bland dem, samlade denne folk omkring sig och blev ledare för ett rövarband. Dessa drog till Damaskus och slog sig ner där och gjorde sig till herrar i Damaskus. 25 Rezon var under hela Salomos livstid motståndare till Israel och gjorde landet skada, han liksom Hadad. Han var fientligt inställd till Israel, och han blev kung över Aram.

Jerobeam gör uppror mot Salomo

26 En av Salomos tjänare hette Jerobeam. Han var son till Nebat, en efraimit från Sereda, och hans mor hette Seruga och var änka. Jerobeam gjorde uppror mot kungen. 27 Orsaken till att han gjorde uppror mot kungen var denna:

Salomo byggde på Millo. Han ville täppa till öppningen i muren omkring sin fader Davids stad. 28 Jerobeam var en duglig man, och då Salomo såg att den unge mannen var driftig i sitt arbete, satte han honom över allt det arbete som Josefs hus hade att utföra. 29 Vid den tiden hände sig en gång att Jerobeam hade begivit sig ut ur Jerusalem. Då kom profeten Ahia från Silo emot honom på vägen. Profeten var klädd i en ny mantel, och de båda var ensamma på fältet. 30 Ahia tog den nya manteln, som han hade på sig och slet sönder den i tolv delar. 31 Och han sade till Jerobeam: "Tag här tio delar för din räkning. Ty så säger Herren, Israels Gud: Se, jag vill rycka riket ur Salomos hand och ge tio av stammarna åt dig. 32 Bara en stam skall han få behålla för min tjänare Davids skull och för Jerusalems skull, den stad som jag har utvalt ur alla Israels stammar. 33 Detta skall ske, därför att de har övergivit mig och tillbett Astarte, sidoniernas gudinna, Kemosh, Moabs gud, och Milkom, ammoniternas gud. De har inte gått på mina vägar och inte gjort det som är rätt i mina ögon, efter mina stadgar och föreskrifter, så som Salomos fader David gjorde. 34 Dock skall jag inte ta ifrån honom hela riket, utan jag vill låta honom vara furste så länge han lever, för min tjänare Davids skull, som jag utvalde, därför att han höll fast vid mina bud och stadgar. 35 Men jag skall ta kungadömet från hans son och ge de tio stammarna åt dig. 36 Åt hans son skall jag ge en stam, så att min tjänare David alltid har en lampa inför mitt ansikte i Jerusalem, den stad som jag har utvalt åt mig för att där fästa mitt namn. 37 Dig vill jag alltså ta och låta regera över allt vad du önskar, och du skall bli kung över Israel. 38 Om du lyder allt jag befaller dig och går på mina vägar och gör det som är rätt i mina ögon, så att du håller fast vid mina stadgar och bud, så som min tjänare David gjorde, då skall jag vara med dig och åt dig bygga ett hus som blir bestående, så som jag byggde ett hus åt David, och jag skall ge Israel åt dig. 39 Jag skall förödmjuka Davids släkt genom detta, men inte för alltid."

40 Salomo sökte efter tillfälle att döda Jerobeam, men Jerobeam stod upp och flydde till Egypten, till Sisak, kungen i Egypten, och stannade där till Salomos död.

Salomo dör

41 Vad som mer finns att säga om Salomo, om allt vad han gjorde och om hans visdom, det är skrivet i Salomos krönika. 42 Den tid Salomo regerade i Jerusalem över hela Israel var fyrtio år.[b]

43 Och Salomo gick till vila hos sina fäder och blev begravd i sin fader Davids stad. Hans son Rehabeam blev kung efter honom.

Solomon’s Heart Turns from the Lord

11 But (A)King Solomon loved (B)many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites— 2 from the nations of whom the Lord had said to the children of Israel, (C)“You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. 3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. 4 For it was so, when Solomon was old, (D)that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his (E)heart was not [a]loyal to the Lord his God, (F)as was the heart of his father David. 5 For Solomon went after (G)Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after (H)Milcom[b] the abomination of the (I)Ammonites. 6 Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as did his father David. 7 (J)Then Solomon built a [c]high place for (K)Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on (L)the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon. 8 And he did likewise for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9 So the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the Lord God of Israel, (M)who had appeared to him twice, 10 and (N)had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep what the Lord had commanded. 11 Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, “Because you have done this, and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, (O)I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your (P)servant. 12 Nevertheless I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David; I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 (Q)However I will not tear away the whole kingdom; I will give (R)one tribe to your son (S)for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem (T)which I have chosen.”

Adversaries of Solomon

14 Now the Lord (U)raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was a descendant of the king in Edom. 15 (V)For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, (W)after he had killed every male in Edom 16 (because for six months Joab remained there with all Israel, until he had cut down every male in Edom), 17 that Hadad fled to go to Egypt, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him. Hadad was still a little child. 18 Then they arose from Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, apportioned food for him, and gave him land. 19 And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, that is, the sister of Queen Tahpenes. 20 Then the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house. And Genubath was in Pharaoh’s household among the sons of Pharaoh.

21 (X)So when Hadad heard in Egypt that David [d]rested with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, [e]“Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.”

22 Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that suddenly you seek to go to your own country?”

So he answered, “Nothing, but do let me go anyway.”

23 And God raised up another adversary against him, Rezon the son of Eliadah, who had fled from his lord, (Y)Hadadezer king of Zobah. 24 So he gathered men to him and became captain over a band of raiders, (Z)when David killed those of Zobah. And they went to Damascus and dwelt there, and reigned in Damascus. 25 He was an adversary of Israel all the days of Solomon (besides the trouble that Hadad caused); and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

Jeroboam’s Rebellion

26 Then Solomon’s servant, (AA)Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zereda, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, (AB)also (AC)rebelled against the king.

27 And this is what caused him to rebel against the king: (AD)Solomon had built the Millo and [f]repaired the damages to the City of David his father. 28 The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon, seeing that the young man was (AE)industrious, made him the officer over all the labor force of the house of Joseph.

29 Now it happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet (AF)Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the way; and he had clothed himself with a new garment, and the two were alone in the field. 30 Then Ahijah took hold of the new garment that was on him, and (AG)tore it into twelve pieces. 31 And he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for (AH)thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘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 the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), 33 (AI)because [g]they have forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the people of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways to do what is right in My eyes and keep My statutes and My judgments, as did his father David. 34 However I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of My servant David, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and My statutes. 35 But (AJ)I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and give it to you—ten tribes. 36 And to his son I will give one tribe, that (AK)My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there. 37 So I will take you, and you shall reign over all your heart desires, and you shall be king over Israel. 38 Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then (AL)I will be with you and (AM)build for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you. 39 And I will afflict the descendants of David because of this, but not forever.’ ”

40 Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to (AN)Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

Death of Solomon(AO)

41 Now (AP)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? 42 (AQ)And the period that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. 43 (AR)Then Solomon [h]rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his (AS)place.

Solomon’s Wives

11 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women(A) besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites,(B) Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. 2 They were from nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry(C) with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines,(D) and his wives led him astray.(E) 4 As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods,(F) and his heart was not fully devoted(G) to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 5 He followed Ashtoreth(H) the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek(I) the detestable god of the Ammonites. 6 So Solomon did evil(J) in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done.

7 On a hill east(K) of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh(L) the detestable god of Moab, and for Molek(M) the detestable god of the Ammonites. 8 He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods.

9 The Lord became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared(N) to him twice. 10 Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods,(O) Solomon did not keep the Lord’s command.(P) 11 So the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees,(Q) which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear(R) the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates. 12 Nevertheless, for the sake of David(S) your father, I will not do it during your lifetime. I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, but will give him one tribe(T) for the sake(U) of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”(V)

Solomon’s Adversaries

14 Then the Lord raised up against Solomon an adversary,(W) Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom. 15 Earlier when David was fighting with Edom, Joab the commander of the army, who had gone up to bury the dead, had struck down all the men in Edom.(X) 16 Joab and all the Israelites stayed there for six months, until they had destroyed all the men in Edom. 17 But Hadad, still only a boy, fled to Egypt with some Edomite officials who had served his father. 18 They set out from Midian and went to Paran.(Y) Then taking people from Paran with them, they went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.

19 Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage. 20 The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath, whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There Genubath lived with Pharaoh’s own children.

21 While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David rested with his ancestors and that Joab the commander of the army was also dead. Then Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.”

22 “What have you lacked here that you want to go back to your own country?” Pharaoh asked.

“Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but do let me go!”

23 And God raised up against Solomon another adversary,(Z) Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer(AA) king of Zobah. 24 When David destroyed Zobah’s army, Rezon gathered a band of men around him and became their leader; they went to Damascus,(AB) where they settled and took control. 25 Rezon was Israel’s adversary as long as Solomon lived, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled in Aram(AC) and was hostile toward Israel.

Jeroboam Rebels Against Solomon

26 Also, Jeroboam son of Nebat rebelled(AD) against the king. He was one of Solomon’s officials, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, and his mother was a widow named Zeruah.

27 Here is the account of how he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the terraces[a](AE) and had filled in the gap in the wall of the city of David his father. 28 Now Jeroboam was a man of standing,(AF) and when Solomon saw how well(AG) the young man did his work, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the tribes of Joseph.

29 About that time Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, and Ahijah(AH) the prophet of Shiloh met him on the way, wearing a new cloak. The two of them were alone out in the country, 30 and Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing and tore(AI) it into twelve pieces. 31 Then he said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘See, I am going to tear(AJ) the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand and give you ten tribes. 32 But for the sake(AK) of my servant David and the city of Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, he will have one tribe. 33 I will do this because they have[b] forsaken me and worshiped(AL) Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Molek the god of the Ammonites, and have not walked(AM) in obedience to me, nor done what is right in my eyes, nor kept my decrees(AN) and laws as David, Solomon’s father, did.

34 “‘But I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s hand; I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose and who obeyed my commands and decrees. 35 I will take the kingdom from his son’s hands and give you ten tribes. 36 I will give one tribe(AO) to his son so that David my servant may always have a lamp(AP) before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put my Name. 37 However, as for you, I will take you, and you will rule(AQ) over all that your heart desires;(AR) you will be king over Israel. 38 If you do whatever I command you and walk in obedience to me and do what is right(AS) in my eyes by obeying my decrees(AT) and commands, as David my servant did, I will be with you. I will build you a dynasty(AU) as enduring as the one I built for David and will give Israel to you. 39 I will humble David’s descendants because of this, but not forever.’”

40 Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam fled(AV) to Egypt, to Shishak(AW) the king, and stayed there until Solomon’s death.

Solomon’s Death(AX)

41 As for the other events of Solomon’s reign—all he did and the wisdom he displayed—are they not written in the book of the annals of Solomon? 42 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 43 Then he rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam(AY) his son succeeded him as king.
