But king Solomon loved many (
note :)
Who were idolaters .(:
note )
strange women ,
together with the daughter of Pharaoh ,
women of the Moabites ,
Ammonites ,
Edomites ,
Zidonians , [
and ]
Hittites ;
*
Of the nations ,
whereof the Lord had sayd vnto the children of Israel ,
Goe not ye in to them ,
nor let them come in to you :
for surely they will turne your hearts after their gods ,
to them ,
I say ,
did Salomon ioyne in loue .
*
And he had seven hundred wives ,
princesses ,
and three hundred (
note :)
To whom belonged no dowry .(:
note )
concubines :
and his wives turned away his heart .
*
For it came to pass ,
when Solomon was old , [
that ]
his wives turned away his heart after other gods :
and his heart was not (
note :)
He did not serve God with a pure heart .(:
note )
perfect with the LORD his God ,
as [
was ]
the heart of David his father .
*
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians ,
and after (
note :)
Who was also called Molech in (
1Ki_11
:7 ).
See also (
2Ki_23
:10 ).(:
note )
Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites .
*
So Salomon wrought wickednesse in the sight of the Lord ,
but continued not to followe the Lord ,
as did Dauid his father .
*
Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh ,
the (
note :)
Thus the scripture calls whatever man reveres and serves as God .(:
note )
abomination of Moab ,
in the hill that [
is ]
before Jerusalem ,
and for Molech ,
the abomination of the children of Ammon .
*
And so did he for all his outlandish wiues ,
which burnt incense and offered vnto their gods .
*
Therefore the Lord was angry with Salomon ,
because hee had turned his heart from the Lorde God of Israel ,
which had appeared vnto him twise ,
*
And had giuen him a charge concerning this thing ,
that he should not follow other gods :
but he kept not that ,
which the Lorde had commaunded him .
*
Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon ,
Forasmuch as (
note :)
That you have forsaken me and worshipped idols .(:
note )
this is done of thee ,
and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes ,
which I have commanded thee ,
I will surely rend the kingdom from thee ,
and will give it to thy servant .
*
Notwithstanding in thy dayes I will not doe it ,
because of Dauid thy father ,
but I will rent it out of the hand of thy sonne :
*
Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom ; [
but ]
will give one (
note :)
Because the tribes of Judah and Benjamin had their possessions mixed ,
they are here taken as one tribe .(:
note )
tribe to thy son for David my servant '
s sake ,
and for Jerusalem '
s sake which I have chosen .
