1 But king Solomon loved many foreign women, besides the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, Hittites;
2 of the nations of which Jehovah had said to the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you; they would certainly turn away your heart after their gods: to these Solomon was attached in love.
3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
4 And it came to pass when Solomon was old, {that} his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father.
5 And Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed not fully Jehovah, as David his father.
7 Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, on the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8 And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9 And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; but he kept not what Jehovah had commanded.
11 And Jehovah said to Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I commanded thee, I will certainly rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant:
12 notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake; I will rend it out of the hand of thy son;
13 only, I will not rend away all the kingdom: I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.
14 And Jehovah stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the king's seed in Edom.
15 Now it came to pass when David was in Edom, when Joab the captain of the host had gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom
16 (for Joab abode there six months with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom),
17 that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.
18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran, and took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt; who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
19 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, and he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son; and Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household, among the sons of Pharaoh.
21 And Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead; and Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.
22 And Pharaoh said to him, What then dost thou lack with me, that behold, thou desirest to go to thine own country? And he said, Nothing; but in any case let me depart.
23 God stirred him up yet an adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord.
24 And he collected men to him, and became captain of a band, when David slew them {of Zobah}; and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and reigned in Damascus.
25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad {did}; and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zeredah, Solomon's servant (whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman), even he lifted up his hand against the king.
27 And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon was building Millo, and closing the breach of the city of David his father;
28 and the man Jeroboam was strong and valiant; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.
29 And it came to pass at that time that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and 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.
30 Then Ahijah seized the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces;
31 and said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces; for thus saith Jehovah 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 one tribe shall he have for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:
33 because 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 my sight, and my statutes and mine ordinances, as David his father.
34 But I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; for I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes;
35 but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, -the ten tribes.
36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
37 And I will take thee, that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.
38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my sight, in keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with thee, and build thee a lasting house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
40 And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam; and Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt; and he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 And 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?
42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
1 所罗门王除了法老的女儿以外， 又宠爱许多外族女子， 就是摩押女子、亚扪女子、以东女子、西顿女子和赫人女子等。
2 关于这些国家的人， 耶和华曾经吩咐以色列人： "你们不可与他们往来通婚， 否则他们必会引诱你们的心， 去随从他们的神。"但所罗门深深爱恋这些女子。
3 所罗门有妃七百， 都是公主； 有嫔三百。他的妃嫔使他的心偏离了 神。
4 所罗门年老的时候， 他的妃嫔诱惑他的心偏离了 神去随从别的神。他的心不像他的父亲大卫那样完全归于耶和华他的 神。
5 因为所罗门随从西顿人的女神亚斯他录， 和亚扪人可憎的偶像米勒公。
6 所罗门行耶和华看为恶的事， 不效法他的父亲大卫完完全全跟从耶和华。
7 那时， 所罗门为摩押人可憎的偶像基抹和亚扪人可憎的偶像摩洛， 在耶路撒冷东面的山上建造邱坛。
8 他为他娶自外族的妃嫔都这样作； 她们都向自己的神烧香献祭。
9 耶和华向所罗门发怒， 因为他的心偏离了曾经两次向他显现的耶和华以色列的 神。
10 耶和华为了这事曾经吩咐他， 不可随从别的神， 可是他没有遵守耶和华吩咐的。
11 耶和华对所罗门说： "你既然作了这事， 不遵守我吩咐你的约和律例， 我必夺去你的国， 把国赐给你的一个臣子。
12 然而， 为了你父亲大卫的缘故， 我不会在你有生之日作这事， 我要从你儿子的手中把国夺去。
13 只是我不把整个国家夺去， 为了我的仆人大卫的缘故， 又为了我所拣选的耶路撒冷的缘故， 我要给你的儿子留下一个支派。"
14 于是耶和华兴起一个人敌挡所罗门， 他是以东王的后裔以东人哈达。
15 从前大卫击败以东， 元帅约押上去埋葬阵亡的人的时候， 就把以东所有的男人都杀了。
16 约押和以色列人在那里住了六个月， 直到把以东所有的男人都除灭了。
17 哈达与他父亲的几个以东臣仆一起逃往埃及， 那时哈达还是一个小孩子。
18 他们从米甸动身， 来到巴兰， 又从巴兰带了几个人来到埃及， 见埃及王法老。法老吩咐人给他一所房子， 供应他粮食， 又赐他一块田地。
19 哈达在法老面前十分蒙恩， 以致法老把自己妻子的妹妹， 就是王后答比匿的妹妹， 赐给他作妻子。
20 答比匿的妹妹给他生了一个儿子， 名叫基努拔。答比匿使他在法老的宫中长大， 基努拔就与法老的众子一起住在法老的宫中。
21 后来哈达在埃及听说大卫已经与他的列祖同睡， 元帅约押也死了， 哈达就对法老说： "求你容我离去， 我好回到本国去。"
22 法老问他： "你在我这里有什么欠缺， 竟要回到你本国去呢？"他回答： "没有什么欠缺， 只求你无论如何让我离开。"
23 神又兴起一个人敌挡所罗门， 就是以利亚大的儿子利逊。他是从他主人琐巴王哈大底谢那里逃出来的。
24 大卫击杀琐巴人的时候， 利逊招聚了一些人， 自己作了这些土匪的领袖。他前往大马士革， 住在那里， 又在大马士革作王。
25 在所罗门一生的日子， 利逊都敌挡以色列人。他恨恶以色列人， 并且作了亚兰人的王。另外， 哈达也不断为患。
26 所罗门王的臣仆， 尼八的儿子耶罗波安也举手攻击王。他是洗利达的以法莲人， 他母亲是个寡妇， 名叫洗鲁雅。
27 他举手攻击王的情形是这样的： 所罗门重建米罗， 修补他父亲大卫城的破口；
28 耶罗波安这个人原是个有才干的人。所罗门见这个年轻人作事殷勤， 就派他管理约瑟家的所有奴工。
29 有一次， 耶罗波安从耶路撒冷出来， 示罗人亚希雅先知在路上遇见他。亚希雅身上穿着一件新衣， 那时田野里只有他们二人。
30 亚希雅拿着自己身上所穿的新衣， 把它撕成十二片，
31 对耶罗波安说： "你拿十片去吧！ 因为耶和华以色列的 神这样说： ‘看哪， 我必从所罗门的手里把国夺去， 把十个支派赐给你。
32 但是为了我的仆人大卫和为了我从以色列众支派中所拣选的耶路撒冷的缘故， 所罗门仍然可以拥有一个支派。
33 因为他们离弃了我， 去敬拜西顿人的女神亚斯他录、摩押人的神基抹和亚扪人的神米勒公， 没有遵行我的道， 行我眼中看为正的事， 谨守我的律例典章， 像他的父亲大卫一样。
34 但是， 我不会把整个国家从他的手里夺去， 我必使他终身作人君， 是因我所拣选的仆人大卫谨守了我的诫命律例的缘故。
35 我要从他儿子的手中把国夺去， 赐给你十个支派。
36 至于所罗门的儿子， 我要给他一个支派， 好使我的仆人大卫在我所拣选立我名的城耶路撒冷， 在我面前常常有灯光。
37 我要拣选你， 使你可以照心里想望的去统治。你必作以色列的王。
38 你若是听从我吩咐你的一切， 遵行我的道， 行我看为正的事， 谨守我的律例诫命， 像我的仆人大卫所行的一样， 我就与你同在， 为你建立一个巩固的朝代， 像我为大卫建立的一样， 并且我要把以色列赐给你。
39 因此， 我要使大卫的后裔遭受苦难， 不过， 却不是永远的。’"
40 于是所罗门想要杀死耶罗波安， 耶罗波安却逃往埃及去， 到了埃及王示撒那里， 就留在埃及， 直等到所罗门死了为止。
41 所罗门其余的事： 他所行的和他的智慧， 不是都写在《所罗门记》上吗？
42 所罗门在耶路撒冷作以色列众人的王共四十年。
43 所罗门与他的列祖同睡， 埋葬在他父亲大卫的城里。他的儿子罗波安接续他作王。
