mkjv@1Kings:2:32 @ And the LORD shall return his blood on his own head, who fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David not knowing [of it], Abner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah.

mkjv@1Kings:5:4 @ But now the LORD my God has given me rest all around. [There is] no foe nor evil happening.

mkjv@1Kings:5:5 @ And behold, I purpose to build a house to the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, Your son whom I will set on your throne in your place; he shall build a house to My name.

mkjv@1Kings:5:6 @ And now command that they cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon, and my servants shall be with your servants. And I will give you hire for your servants according to all that you shall say. For you know that not a man among us can cut timber like the Sidonians.

mkjv@1Kings:6:33 @ So also he made side posts for the entrance of the temple from the olive tree, a fourth part.

mkjv@1Kings:6:34 @ And the two doors [were of] fir tree. The two leaves of the one door [were] folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

mkjv@1Kings:6:35 @ And he carved [on them] cherubs and palm trees and open bowers. And he covered them with gold fitted on the carved work.

mkjv@1Kings:6:36 @ And he built the inner court with three rows of cut stone, and a row of cedar beams.

mkjv@1Kings:6:37 @ In the fourth year, in the month Zif, the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

mkjv@1Kings:6:38 @ And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which [is] the eighth month, the house was finished as to all its parts, and as to all its plans. So he was seven years in building it.

mkjv@1Kings:7:1 @ And Solomon was thirteen years building his own house. And he finished all his house.

mkjv@1Kings:7:2 @ And he built the house of the forest of Lebanon. Its length [was] a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.

mkjv@1Kings:7:3 @ And [it was] covered with cedar above on the beams [that lay] on forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row.

mkjv@1Kings:7:4 @ And windows [were] in three rows, and light [was] against light [in] three rows.

mkjv@1Kings:7:5 @ And all the doors and posts [were] square, with the windows. And the front of a window [was] against a window [in] three rows.

mkjv@1Kings:7:6 @ And he made a porch of pillars. Its length [was] fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits. And the porch [was] before them, and the pillars and the roof [were] over them.

mkjv@1Kings:7:7 @ And he made a porch of the throne where he judged, the porch of judgment. And [it was] covered with cedar from floor to floor.

mkjv@1Kings:7:8 @ As to his house where he lived, the other court [was] within the porch, as this work was. Solomon also made a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken, like this porch.

mkjv@1Kings:7:9 @ All these [were] of costly stones, according to the measures of hewn stones, sawed with saws, inside and out, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.

mkjv@1Kings:7:10 @ And the foundation [was] of costly stones, huge stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

mkjv@1Kings:7:11 @ And above [were] costly stones, according to the measures of hewn stone and cedar.

mkjv@1Kings:7:12 @ And the great court all around [was] with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.

mkjv@1Kings:7:13 @ And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre.

mkjv@1Kings:7:14 @ He [was] the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father [was] a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. And he was filled with wisdom and understanding, and cunning to work all works in bronze. And he came to King Solomon and did all his work.

mkjv@1Kings:7:15 @ For he cast two pillars of bronze, eighteen cubits [was] the height of the one pillar. And a line of twelve cubits went around the second pillar.

mkjv@1Kings:7:16 @ And he made two capitals [of] melted bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital [was] five cubits, and the height of the other capital five cubits.

mkjv@1Kings:7:17 @ He made gratings, grating work [with] twisted threads of chain-work, for the capitals on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.

mkjv@1Kings:7:18 @ And he made the pillars. And two rows were all around on the one grating, to cover the capitals on the top with the pomegranates. And so he did for the other capital.

mkjv@1Kings:7:19 @ And the capitals on the top of the pillars in the porch [were] lily-work, four cubits.

mkjv@1Kings:7:20 @ And the capitals on the two pillars [had pomegranates] on the upper part, over against the belly which [was] by the grating; and the pomegranates [were] two hundred in rows all around on the other capital.

mkjv@1Kings:7:21 @ And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple. And he set up the right pillar and called its name, Jachin. And he set up the left pillar, and called its name, Boaz.

mkjv@1Kings:7:22 @ And on the top of the pillars [was] lily-work. So the work of the pillars was finished.

mkjv@1Kings:7:23 @ And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from brim to brim, all around it. And its height [was] five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits went around it.

mkjv@1Kings:7:24 @ And under its brim [were] gourds, going around it, ten by the cubit, going all around the sea. The gourds [were] cast in two rows when it was cast.

mkjv@1Kings:7:25 @ It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north, and three facing the west, and three facing the south, and three facing the east. The sea [was set] on top of them, and all their hinder parts [were] inward.

mkjv@1Kings:7:26 @ And it [was] a handbreadth thick, and its brim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, [with] a bud of a lily. It contained two thousand baths.

mkjv@1Kings:7:27 @ And he made ten bases of bronze, four cubits the length of the one base, and four cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height.

mkjv@1Kings:7:28 @ And the work of the bases [was] this [way]: they had borders, and the borders were between the stays.

mkjv@1Kings:7:29 @ And on the borders that [were] between the ledges [were] lions, oxen, and cherubs. And a pedestal was on the stays above. And beneath the lions and oxen [were] wreaths of hanging-work.

mkjv@1Kings:7:30 @ And the one base had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze. And its four feet [were] supports to them; under the basin were casted supports [with] wreaths at each side.

mkjv@1Kings:7:31 @ And its mouth within and above the capital [was] a cubit. And its mouth [was] round [like] the work of a pedestal, a cubit and half of the cubit. And also on its mouth were carvings; and their borders were square, not round.

mkjv@1Kings:7:32 @ And under the borders [were] four wheels. And the axletrees of the wheels [were] in the base. And the height of a wheel [was] a cubit and a half.

mkjv@1Kings:7:33 @ And the work of the wheels [was] like the work of a chariot wheel, their axletrees, and their rims, and their hub, and their spokes, [were] all cast.

mkjv@1Kings:7:34 @ And [there were] four supports to the four corners of one base, and the supports were of the very base itself.

mkjv@1Kings:7:35 @ And in the top of the base [was] a round compass of a half a cubit high. And on the top of the base its sides and its borders [were] from it.

mkjv@1Kings:7:36 @ And he engraved cherubs, lions, and palm trees on the plates of its sides, and on its borders, as the place of each, with wreaths all around.

mkjv@1Kings:7:37 @ So he made the ten bases, one casting, one measure, one form was to them all.

mkjv@1Kings:7:38 @ And he made ten basins of bronze. One basin contained forty baths. The one basin was four cubits, one basin on the one base, to the ten bases.

mkjv@1Kings:7:39 @ And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house. And he set the sea on the right side of the house, eastward, across from the south.

mkjv@1Kings:7:40 @ And Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he did for] King Solomon [for] the house of the LORD.

mkjv@1Kings:7:41 @ Two pillars, and the bowls of the capitals on the top of the two pillars, and the two gratings to cover the two bowls of the capitals on the top of the pillars,

mkjv@1Kings:7:42 @ and the four hundred pomegranates for the two gratings; two rows of pomegranates for each grating, to cover the two bowls of the capitals which [were] on the face of the pillars,

mkjv@1Kings:7:43 @ and the ten bases, and ten basins on the bases,

mkjv@1Kings:7:44 @ and one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea,

mkjv@1Kings:7:45 @ and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. All these vessels which Hiram made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD [were of] burnished bronze.

mkjv@1Kings:7:46 @ The king cast them in the plain of Jordan, in the thick soil of the ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

mkjv@1Kings:7:47 @ And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed] because [they were] exceeding many; the weight of the bronze was not searched out.

mkjv@1Kings:7:48 @ And Solomon made all the vessels in the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold on which [was] the Bread of the Presence;

mkjv@1Kings:7:49 @ and the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right and five on the left, in front of the Holy of Holies, with the flowers and the lamps and the tongs [of] gold,

mkjv@1Kings:7:50 @ and the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire-pans [of] pure gold, and the hinges of gold for the doors of the inner house, the Holy of Holies, and for the doors of the house, the temple.

mkjv@1Kings:7:51 @ So all the work that King Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, he had put into the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

mkjv@1Kings:8:1 @ And Solomon gathered the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, so that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [is] Zion.

mkjv@1Kings:8:2 @ And all the men of Israel were gathered to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which [is] the seventh month.

mkjv@1Kings:8:3 @ And all the elders of Israel came in, and the priests took up the ark.

mkjv@1Kings:8:4 @ And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels which [were] in the tabernacle; even those the priests and the Levites brought up.

mkjv@1Kings:8:5 @ And King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who had assembled to him, [were] with him before the ark sacrificing sheep and oxen which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

mkjv@1Kings:8:6 @ And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD into its place, into the holy place of the house, into the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubs.

mkjv@1Kings:8:7 @ For the cherubs spread forth [their] two wings over the place of the ark. And the cherubs covered the ark and the staves of it above.

mkjv@1Kings:8:8 @ And they drew out the staves, so that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy [place], in front of the Holy of Holies. And they were not seen outside. And there they are until today.

mkjv@1Kings:8:9 @ There [was] nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the sons of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.

mkjv@1Kings:8:10 @ And it happened when the priests had come out of the Holy of Holies, the cloud filled the house of the LORD.

mkjv@1Kings:8:11 @ And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

mkjv@1Kings:8:12 @ And Solomon said, The LORD said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.

mkjv@1Kings:8:13 @ I have surely built a house of loftiness for You, a settled place for You to abide in forever.

mkjv@1Kings:8:14 @ And the king turned his face around and blessed all the congregation of Israel. And all the congregation of Israel stood.

mkjv@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to David my father, and has fulfilled [it] by His hand, saying,

mkjv@1Kings:8:16 @ From the day that I brought forth My people Israel out of Egypt, I did not choose any city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, so that My name might be in it. But I chose David to be over My people Israel.

mkjv@1Kings:8:17 @ And it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

mkjv@1Kings:8:18 @ And the LORD said to my father David, Because it was in your heart to build a house to My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

mkjv@1Kings:8:19 @ Only, you shall not build the house, but your son who shall come out of your loins, he shall build the house to My name.

mkjv@1Kings:8:20 @ And the LORD has performed His word which He spoke, and I have risen up instead of my father David. And I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. And I have built a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

mkjv@1Kings:8:21 @ And [I have] set there a place for the ark, in which [is] the covenant of the LORD which He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.

mkjv@1Kings:8:22 @ And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens.

mkjv@1Kings:8:23 @ And he said, LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like You, in Heaven above or on earth beneath, who keeps covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their heart,

mkjv@1Kings:8:24 @ who have kept with Your servant David my father what You promised him. You also spoke with Your mouth, and have fulfilled with Your hand, as [it is] today.

mkjv@1Kings:8:25 @ And now, LORD God of Israel, keep with Your servant David, my father, what You promised him, saying, There shall not be cut off from you a man in My sight to sit on the throne of Israel-- if your sons take heed to their way so that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.

mkjv@1Kings:8:26 @ And now, O God of Israel, I pray You, let Your word be proved to be true, the word which You spoke to Your servant David my father.

mkjv@1Kings:8:27 @ But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house which I have built?

mkjv@1Kings:8:28 @ Yet, O, LORD my God, You have turned toward the prayer of Your servant and to his request, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You today;

mkjv@1Kings:8:62 @ And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.

mkjv@1Kings:8:63 @ And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.

mkjv@1Kings:8:64 @ On that day the king sanctified the middle of the court before the house of the LORD. For there he had offered the burnt offering, and the food offering, and the fat of the peace offerings; because the bronze altar before Jehovah [was too small to contain the burnt offering, and the food offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.

mkjv@1Kings:9:9 @ And they shall answer, Because they left the LORD their God who brought out their fathers from the land of Egypt, and have taken hold on other gods and have worshiped them and served them. On account of this the LORD has brought on them all this evil.

mkjv@1Kings:9:11 @ Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desires. Then King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

mkjv@1Kings:9:15 @ And this [is] the reason of the labor force which King Solomon raised to build the house of the LORD and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

mkjv@1Kings:9:16 @ For Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had gone up and had taken Gezer and had burned it with fire, and had slain the Canaanites who lived in the city. And he had given it [for] a present to his daughter, Solomon's wife.

mkjv@1Kings:9:23 @ These [were] the chief of the officers who [were] over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty who ruled over the people who labored in the work.

mkjv@1Kings:9:24 @ But Pharaoh's daughter came up from the city of David to her house which had been built for her. And he built Millo.

mkjv@1Kings:9:25 @ And three times in a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built to the LORD, and he burned incense on the altar which [was] before the LORD. And he finished the house.

mkjv@1Kings:9:26 @ And King Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which [is] beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

mkjv@1Kings:9:27 @ And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

mkjv@1Kings:9:28 @ And they came to Ophir, and brought gold from there, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought [it] to king Solomon.

mkjv@1Kings:10:1 @ And the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame concerning the name of the LORD, and she came to test him with hard questions.

mkjv@1Kings:10:3 @ And Solomon answered all her questions for her. There was not a thing hidden from the king, which he did not tell her.

mkjv@1Kings:10:7 @ And I did not believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen. And behold! The half was not told me. Your wisdom and blessings are more than the fame which I heard.

mkjv@1Kings:10:9 @ Blessed is Jehovah your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because the LORD loved Israel forever; therefore, He made you king to do judgment and justice.

mkjv@1Kings:10:10 @ And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, a very great store of spices, and precious stones. No spice like that came any more for abundance, that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

mkjv@1Kings:10:11 @ And also the navy of Hiram which brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great abundance of almug trees and precious stones.

mkjv@1Kings:10:12 @ And the king made of the almug trees a support for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, also lyres and harps for singers. No such almug wood has come or been seen to this day.

mkjv@1Kings:10:13 @ And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

mkjv@1Kings:10:14 @ And the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,

mkjv@1Kings:10:15 @ apart from the merchant men, and and from the traffic of the traders, and from all the kings of Arabia, and from the governors of the lands.

mkjv@1Kings:10:16 @ And King Solomon made two hundred targets [of] beaten gold; six hundred [shekels] of gold went into one target.

mkjv@1Kings:10:17 @ And [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went into one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

mkjv@1Kings:10:18 @ And the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.

mkjv@1Kings:10:19 @ The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne [was] round in the back part. And [there were] stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays;

mkjv@1Kings:10:20 @ and two lions were standing on the six steps, on this and on that [side]. There was not the like made in any kingdom.

mkjv@1Kings:10:21 @ And all King Solomon's drinking vessels [were of] gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [were of] pure gold. None were of silver; it was counted nothing in the days of Solomon.

mkjv@1Kings:10:22 @ For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram. Once in three years the navy of Tarshish came bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

mkjv@1Kings:10:23 @ And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

mkjv@1Kings:10:24 @ And all the earth sought Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.

mkjv@1Kings:10:25 @ And every man brought his presents, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and clothing and armor, and spices, horses and mules, so much year by year.

mkjv@1Kings:10:26 @ And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. And he had fourteen hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.

mkjv@1Kings:10:27 @ And the king made silver like stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars like the sycamore trees in the valley for abundance.

mkjv@1Kings:10:28 @ And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and out of Kue. The king's merchants received them from Kue at a price.

mkjv@1Kings:10:29 @ And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, they brought [them] out by their means.

mkjv@1Kings:11:1 @ And King Solomon loved many foreign women, even the daughter of Pharaoh, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, Hittites;

mkjv@1Kings:11:2 @ of the nations which the LORD had said to the sons of Israel, You shall not go in to them, and they shall not go in to you; surely they will turn away your heart after their gods. Solomon clung to these in love.

mkjv@1Kings:11:3 @ And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And his wives turned away his heart.

mkjv@1Kings:11:4 @ For it happened when Solomon was old, 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.

mkjv@1Kings:11:5 @ For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom, the abomination of the Ammonites;

mkjv@1Kings:11:6 @ and Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and did not [go] fully after the LORD like his father David.

mkjv@1Kings:11:7 @ Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill which [is] before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the sons of Ammon.

mkjv@1Kings:11:8 @ And likewise he did for all his foreign wives, and burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

mkjv@1Kings:11:9 @ And the LORD [was] angry with Solomon because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice

mkjv@1Kings:11:10 @ and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; and he did not keep that which the LORD commanded.

mkjv@1Kings:11:11 @ And the LORD said to Solomon, Since this is done by you, and since 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.

mkjv@1Kings:11:12 @ But I will not do it in your days, for David your father's sake, [but] I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

mkjv@1Kings:11:13 @ Only, 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 Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

mkjv@1Kings:11:14 @ And it happened the LORD stirred up a foe to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He [was] of the king's seed in Edom.

mkjv@1Kings:11:15 @ For it happened when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, after he had stricken every male in Edom--

mkjv@1Kings:11:16 @ for Joab remained there six months with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom--

mkjv@1Kings:11:17 @ it happened that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go to Egypt, Hadad [being] still a little child.

mkjv@1Kings:11:18 @ And they arose out of Midian and came to Paran. And [they] took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and appointed food for him, and gave him land.

mkjv@1Kings:11:19 @ And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him the sister of his own wife for a wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

mkjv@1Kings:11:20 @ And 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.

mkjv@1Kings:11:21 @ And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, even Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart so that I may go to my own land.

mkjv@1Kings:11:22 @ And Pharaoh said to him, But what have you lacked with me that, behold, you seek to go to your land? And he answered, Nothing; however, you shall certainly send me away.

mkjv@1Kings:11:23 @ And God stirred up [another] foe, to him, Rezon the son of Eliadah, who fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.

mkjv@1Kings:11:24 @ And he gathered men to him, and became head over a band when David killed them. And they went to Damascus and lived in it, and reigned in Damascus.

mkjv@1Kings:11:25 @ And he was a foe to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief which Hadad [did]. And he hated Israel and reigned over Syria.

mkjv@1Kings:11:26 @ And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name [was] Zeruah, a widow, he too lifted up [his] hand against the king.

mkjv@1Kings:11:27 @ And this [was] the cause that he lifted up [his] hand against the king. Solomon built Millo [and] repaired the breaks of the city of David his father.

mkjv@1Kings:11:28 @ And the man Jeroboam [was] a mighty man of war. And Solomon, seeing that the young man was doing work, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.

mkjv@1Kings:11:29 @ And it happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh found him in the way. And he had clothed himself with a new garment. And the two of them [were] alone in the field.

mkjv@1Kings:11:30 @ And Ahijah caught hold of the new robe on him, and tore it [in] twelve pieces.

mkjv@1Kings:11:31 @ And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten pieces for yourself. For so 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,

mkjv@1Kings:11:32 @ 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,

mkjv@1Kings:11:33 @ because they have forsaken Me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the goddess of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do [what is right] in My eyes, and to keep My statutes and My judgments, as David his father did.

mkjv@1Kings:11:34 @ But I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David My servant, whom I chose, because he kept My commandments and My statutes.

mkjv@1Kings:11:35 @ But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it to you, ten tribes.

mkjv@1Kings:11:36 @ And to his son I will give one tribe, so that David My servant may have a light always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Me, to put My name there.

mkjv@1Kings:11:37 @ And I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.

mkjv@1Kings:11:38 @ And if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in My ways, and do [what is] right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as David My servant did, it shall happen that I will be with you and build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.

mkjv@1Kings:11:39 @ And for this I will afflict the seed of David, but not forever.

mkjv@1Kings:11:40 @ And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

mkjv@1Kings:11:43 @ And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam reigned in his place.

mkjv@1Kings:12:1 @ And Rehoboam went to Shechem. For all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.

mkjv@1Kings:12:2 @ And it happened when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, heard, he being still in Egypt; for he had fled from the presence of King Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt;

mkjv@1Kings:12:3 @ they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

mkjv@1Kings:12:4 @ Your father made our yoke hard. And now lighten the hard service of your father, and the heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you.

mkjv@1Kings:12:5 @ And he said to them, Go; yet in three days come back to me. And the people went away.

mkjv@1Kings:12:6 @ And king Rehoboam talked with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he still lived, and said, How do you advise to return a word to this people?

mkjv@1Kings:12:7 @ And they spoke to him, saying, If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.

mkjv@1Kings:12:8 @ But he left the counsel of the old men which they had advised him, and talked with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

mkjv@1Kings:12:9 @ And he said to them, What advice do you give that we may answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, Lighten the yoke which your father put on us?

mkjv@1Kings:12:10 @ And the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, So shall you speak to this people who spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make [it] lighter for us, so you shall say to them: My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.

mkjv@1Kings:12:11 @ And now my father loaded you with a heavy yoke, and I will add to your yoke. My father has whipped you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

mkjv@1Kings:12:12 @ And they came, Jeroboam and all the people, to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.

mkjv@1Kings:12:13 @ And the king answered the people roughly, and left the old men's advice which they advised him,

mkjv@1Kings:12:14 @ and spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke. My father whipped you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

mkjv@1Kings:12:15 @ And the king did not listen to the people, for the cause was from the LORD, that He might perform His saying which the LORD spoke by Ahijah of Shiloh to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

mkjv@1Kings:12:16 @ And all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, and the people answered the king, saying, What part do we have in David? Yea, [there is] no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel! Now see to your house, O David! And Israel went to its tents.

mkjv@1Kings:12:17 @ [As for] the sons of Israel, those living in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

mkjv@1Kings:12:18 @ And King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who [was] over the tribute. And all Israel stoned him with stones so that he died. And King Rehoboam made haste to go up to get into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem.

mkjv@1Kings:18:3 @ And Ahab called Obadiah, who [was] over the house. (And Obadiah feared the LORD greatly,

mkjv@1Kings:18:4 @ for it happened when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)

mkjv@1Kings:18:5 @ And Ahab said to Obadiah, Go into the land, to all fountains of water, and to all the torrents. Perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, so that we do not lose all the animals.

mkjv@1Kings:18:6 @ And they divided the land between them to pass throughout it. Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

mkjv@1Kings:18:9 @ And he said, What have I sinned that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me?

mkjv@1Kings:18:10 @ [As] the LORD your God lives, there is no nation nor kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. And when they said, He is not there, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation that they did not find you.

mkjv@1Kings:18:11 @ And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah [is here]!

mkjv@1Kings:18:12 @ And it will be as soon as I have gone from you, the Spirit of the LORD shall carry you where I know not. And when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find you, he will kill me. But I, your servant, have feared the LORD from my youth.

mkjv@1Kings:18:13 @ Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, how I hid a hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave and fed them with bread and water?

mkjv@1Kings:18:14 @ And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah! And he will kill me!

mkjv@1Kings:18:15 @ And Elijah said, [As] the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely be seen by him today.

mkjv@1Kings:18:16 @ And Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.

mkjv@1Kings:18:17 @ And it happened when Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, [Are] you he that troubles Israel?

mkjv@1Kings:18:18 @ And he answered, I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father's house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and you have followed the Baals.

mkjv@1Kings:18:19 @ And now send [and] gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and four hundred and fifty of the prophets of Baal, and four hundred of the prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table.

mkjv@1Kings:18:20 @ And Ahab sent to all the sons of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to mount Carmel.

mkjv@1Kings:18:21 @ And Elijah came to all the people and said, How long are you limping over two opinions? If Jehovah [is] God, follow Him. But if Baal is God, [then] follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.

mkjv@1Kings:18:22 @ And Elijah said to the people, I, I alone, remain a prophet of Jehovah. But Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

mkjv@1Kings:18:23 @ And let them give us two bulls, and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces and lay [it] on wood. But place no fire. And I will dress the other bull and lay it on wood, and place no fire.

mkjv@1Kings:18:26 @ And they took the bull which was given them, and they dressed, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any who answered. And they leaped on the altar which was made.

mkjv@1Kings:18:27 @ And it happened at noon Elijah mocked them and said, Cry with a great voice, for he [is] a god. Either he is meditating, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey; perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened!

mkjv@1Kings:18:28 @ And they cried with a loud voice and cut themselves with knives and spears until the blood gushed out on them, as is their way.

mkjv@1Kings:18:29 @ And it happened when midday was past, and when they prophesied until the [time] of the offering of the evening sacrifice, there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor anyone who paid attention.

mkjv@1Kings:18:30 @ And Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me. And all the people came near him. And he repaired the broken down altar of the LORD.

mkjv@1Kings:18:31 @ And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be your name.

mkjv@1Kings:18:32 @ And with stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD. And he made a trench around the altar big enough to contain two measures of seed.

mkjv@1Kings:18:33 @ And he arranged the wood, and cut the bull in pieces, and placed [it] on the wood, and said, Fill four water jars with water and pour on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood.

mkjv@1Kings:18:34 @ And he said, Do [it] the second time. And they did [it] the second time. And he said, Do [it] the third time. And they did [it] the third time.

mkjv@1Kings:18:35 @ And the water ran all around the altar. And he filled the trench also with water.

mkjv@1Kings:18:36 @ And it happened at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet came near and said, LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that You [are] God in Israel, and that I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word.

mkjv@1Kings:18:37 @ Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that You [are] Jehovah God, and that You have turned their heart back again.

mkjv@1Kings:18:38 @ And the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the burnt sacrifice and the wood, and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that [was] in the trench.

mkjv@1Kings:18:39 @ And when all the people saw, they fell on their faces. And they said, Jehovah, He [is] the God! Jehovah, He [is] the God!

mkjv@1Kings:18:40 @ And Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal. Do not let one of them escape. And they took them. And Elijah brought them down to the torrent Kishon and killed them there.

mkjv@1Kings:18:41 @ And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink, because of the [sound of] plenty of rain.

mkjv@1Kings:18:42 @ So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel. And he threw himself down on the earth and put his face between his knees.

mkjv@1Kings:18:43 @ And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up and looked and said, Nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.

mkjv@1Kings:18:44 @ And it happened at the seventh [time,] he said, Behold, there arises a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up and say to Ahab, Bind up and go down, so that the rain does not stop you.

mkjv@1Kings:18:45 @ And it happened in the meantime the heaven was black [with] clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rose and went to Jezreel.

mkjv@1Kings:18:46 @ And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah. And he girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

mkjv@1Kings:19:1 @ And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and all that he killed, all the prophets with the sword.

mkjv@1Kings:19:2 @ And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah saying, So let the gods do [to me], and more also, if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.

mkjv@1Kings:19:3 @ And he saw, he rose and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba of Judah, and left his servant there.

mkjv@1Kings:19:4 @ And he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he begged for his life, that he might die. And he said, It is enough. O LORD, take away my life. For I [am] no better than my fathers.

mkjv@1Kings:19:6 @ And he looked, and, behold, a cake [was] baked on the coals, and a jug of water at his head. And he ate and drank, and lay down again.

mkjv@1Kings:19:7 @ And the angel of the LORD came to him the second time and touched him, and said, Arise, eat, because the journey [is] too great for you.

mkjv@1Kings:19:8 @ And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.

mkjv@1Kings:19:9 @ And he came there to a cave and stayed there. And behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, and He said to him, What [are] you [doing] here, Elijah?

mkjv@1Kings:19:10 @ And he said, I have been very zealous for Jehovah the God of Hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your altars, and have slain Your prophets with the sword. And I, I alone, am left. And they seek to take my life away.

mkjv@1Kings:19:11 @ And He said, Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD. [ But] the LORD [was] not in the wind. And after the wind was an earthquake, [but] the LORD was not in the earthquake.

mkjv@1Kings:19:12 @ And after the earthquake was a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire. And after the fire [was] a still, small voice.

mkjv@1Kings:19:13 @ And it happened when Elijah heard, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out, and stood at the cave entrance. And behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What [are] you [doing] here, Elijah?

mkjv@1Kings:19:14 @ And he said, I have been very zealous for Jehovah, God of Hosts, because the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, have thrown down Your altars, and have slain Your prophets with the sword. And I, I alone, am left. And they seek to take my life away.

mkjv@1Kings:19:19 @ And he left there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, and he [was] plowing; twelve pairs [of oxen were] before him, and he [was] with the twelfth. And Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him.

mkjv@1Kings:19:20 @ And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, please, let me kiss my father and my mother, and I will follow you. And he said to him, Go back again, for what have I done to you?

mkjv@1Kings:19:21 @ And he turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave it to the people, and they ate. And he arose and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.

mkjv@1Kings:20:8 @ And all the elders and all the people said to him, Do not listen nor consent!

mkjv@1Kings:20:9 @ And he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I may not do. And the messengers left and brought him word again.

mkjv@1Kings:20:11 @ And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell [him], Do not let him who girds on boast himself like the one who loosens [his armor].

mkjv@1Kings:20:12 @ And it happened he heard this word, and he [was] drinking, he and the kings in the booths, he said to his servants, Set [in order], and they set in order against the city. And they placed the engines against the city.

mkjv@1Kings:20:13 @ And behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, saying, So says Jehovah, Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today, and you shall know that I [am] the LORD.
