1Kings:11:1-13
web@1Kings:11:1 @Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;
web@1Kings:11:2 @of the nations concerning which Yahweh said to the children of Israel, "You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods." Solomon joined to these in love.
web@1Kings:11:3 @He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
web@1Kings:11:4 @For it happened, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.
web@1Kings:11:5 @For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
web@1Kings:11:6 @Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and didn't go fully after Yahweh, as did David his father.
web@1Kings:11:7 @Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
web@1Kings:11:8 @So he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.
web@1Kings:11:9 @Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
web@1Kings:11:10 @and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he didn't keep that which Yahweh commanded.
web@1Kings:11:11 @Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, "Because this is done by you, and 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.
web@1Kings:11:12 @Notwithstanding 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.
web@1Kings:11:13 @However 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."
