11-1 KINGS
11-1:1 Now
king David was old and stricken in years; and
they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
11-1:2 Wherefore
his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young
virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her
lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get
heat.
11-1:6 And
his father had not displeased him at any time in
saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his
mother bare him after Absalom.
11-1:13 Go
and get thee in unto king David, and say unto
him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying,
Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my
throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?
11-1:14 Behold,
while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
11-1:15 And
Bathsheba went in unto the king into the
chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto
the king.
11-1:19 And
he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance,
and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the
captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.
11-1:22 And,
lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
11-1:23 And
they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king
with his face to the ground.
11-1:25 For
he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king’s sons, and
the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and
drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
11-1:30 Even
as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy
son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.
11-1:35 Then
ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he
shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him
to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
11-1:41 And
Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end
of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is
this noise of the city being in an uproar?
11-1:42 And
while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and
Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou art a
valiant man, and bringest good tidings.
11-1:45 And
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing,
so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.
11-1:52 And
Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of
him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.
11-2:3 And
keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in
his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and
his testimonies, as it is written in the law of
Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou
doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
11-2:4 That
the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy
children take heed to their way, to walk before me in
truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee
(said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
11-2:5 Moreover
thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to
the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto
Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle
that was about his loins, and in his shoes that
were on his feet.
11-2:6 Do
therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the
grave in peace.
11-2:8 And,
behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim,
which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day
when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him
by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
11-2:10 So
David slept with his fathers, and was buried in
the city of David.
11-2:11 And
the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned
he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned
he in Jerusalem.
11-2:26 And
unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own
fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to
death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and
because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein
my father was afflicted.
11-2:27 So
Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might
fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
11-2:34 So
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he
was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
11-2:35 And
the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his
room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
11-2:36 And
the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence
any whither.
11-2:38 And
Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said,
so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in
Jerusalem many days.
11-2:39 And
it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei
ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying,
Behold, thy servants be in Gath.
11-2:46 So
the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon
him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in
the hand of Solomon.
11-3:2 Only
the people sacrificed in high places, because
there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.
11-3:3 And
Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes
of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
11-3:5 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall
give thee.
11-3:6 And
Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy,
according as he walked before thee in truth, and
in righteousness, and in
uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness,
that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
11-3:7 And
now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father:
and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.
11-3:8 And
thy servant is in the midst of thy people which
thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for
multitude.
11-3:14 And
if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my
statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will
lengthen thy days.
11-3:17 And
the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in
one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in
the house.
11-3:18 And
it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was
delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in
the house.
11-3:19 And
this woman’s child died in the night; because
she overlaid it.
11-3:20 And
she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid
slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her
dead child in my bosom.
11-3:21 And
when I rose in the morning to give my child
suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.
11-3:25 And
the king said, Divide the living child in two,
and give half to the one, and half to the other.
11-3:26 Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
11-3:27 Then
the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
11-3:28 And
all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the
king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in
him, to do judgment.
11-4:7 And
Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the
king and his household: each man his month in a
year made provision.
11-4:8 And
these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount
Ephraim:
11-4:9 The
son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:
11-4:10 The
son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained
Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:
11-4:11 The
son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which
had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
11-4:13 The
son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him pertained
the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in
Gilead; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and
brasen bars:
11-4:15 Ahimaaz
was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the
daughter of Solomon to wife:
11-4:16 Baanah
the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:
11-4:17 Jehoshaphat
the son of Paruah, in Issachar:
11-4:18 Shimei
the son of Elah, in Benjamin:
11-4:19 Geber
the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of
Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land.
11-4:20 Judah
and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in
multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
11-4:27 And
those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto
king Solomon’s table, every man in his month:
they lacked nothing.
11-4:31 For
he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and
Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in
all nations round about.
11-4:33 And
he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in
Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts,
and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
11-5:1 And
Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they
had anointed him king in the room of his father:
for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
11-5:5 And,
behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the
LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy
throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto
my name.
11-5:9 My
servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey
them by sea in floats unto the place that thou
shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt
receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in
giving food for my household.
11-5:14 And
he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was
over the levy.
11-5:15 And
Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore
thousand hewers in the mountains;
11-5:16 Beside
the chief of Solomon’s officers which were over the work, three thousand and
three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
11-6:1 And
it came to pass in the four hundred and
eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt,
in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over
Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second
month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
11-6:6 The
nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad,
and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in
the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should
not be fastened in the walls of the house.
11-6:7 And
the house, when it was in building, was built of
stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither
hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in the
house, while it was in building.
11-6:8 The
door for the middle chamber was in the right
side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle
chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
11-6:12 Concerning
this house which thou art in building, if thou
wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my
judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in
them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy
father:
11-6:19 And
the oracle he prepared in the house within, to
set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
11-6:20 And
the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in
breadth, and twenty cubits in the height
thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was
of cedar.
11-6:27 And
he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings
of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the
wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one
another in the midst of the house.
11-6:37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the
LORD laid, in the month Zif:
11-6:38 And
in the eleventh year, in
the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all
the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven
years in building it.
11-7:3 And
it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars,
fifteen in a row.
11-7:4 And
there were windows in three rows, and light was
against light in three ranks.
11-7:5 And
all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against
light in three ranks.
11-7:14 He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
11-7:19 And
the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
11-7:20 And
the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against
the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.
11-7:21 And
he set up the pillars in the porch of the
temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and
he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
11-7:24 And
under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops
were cast in two rows, when it was cast.
11-7:35 And
in the top of the base was there a round compass
of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the
borders thereof were of the same.
11-7:46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
11-7:51 So
was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And
Solomon brought in the things which David his
father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he
put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
11-8:1 Then
Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the
chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant
of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
11-8:2 And
all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
11-8:4 And
they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation,
and all the holy vessels that were in the
tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
11-8:6 And
the priests brought in the ark of the covenant
of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy
place, even under the wings of the cherubims.
11-8:8 And
they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not
seen without: and there they are unto this day.
11-8:9 There
was nothing in the ark save the two tables of
stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the
children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
11-8:12 Then
spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in
the thick darkness.
11-8:13 I
have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a
settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
11-8:17 And
it was in the heart of David my father to build
an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
11-8:18 And
the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in
thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
11-8:20 And
the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne
of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the
LORD God of Israel.
11-8:22 And
Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in
the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands
toward heaven:
11-8:23 And
he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and
mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
11-8:25 Therefore
now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou
promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children
take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
11-8:30 And
hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when
they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in
heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
11-8:31 If
any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause
him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in
this house:
11-8:32 Then
hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy
servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying
the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
11-8:33 When
thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned
against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and
make supplication unto thee in this house:
11-8:34 Then
hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy
people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their
fathers.
11-8:36 Then
hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy
servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein
they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy
people for an inheritance.
11-8:37 If
there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence,
blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar; if their enemy besiege
them in the land of their cities; whatsoever
plague, whatsoever sickness there be;
11-8:39 Then
hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and
forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou
knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of
men;)
11-8:40 That
they may fear thee all the days that they live in
the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
11-8:43 Hear
thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do
according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the
earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they
may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.
11-8:45 Then
hear thou in heaven their prayer and their
supplication, and maintain their cause.
11-8:47 Yet
if they shall bethink themselves in the land
whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee
in the land of them that carried them captives,
saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
11-8:48 And
so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive,
and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the
city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
11-8:49 Then
hear thou their prayer and their supplication in
heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
11-8:52 That
thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the
supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
11-8:58 That
he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in
all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his
judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
11-8:61 Let
your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at
this day.
11-8:65 And
at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great
congregation, from the entering in of Hamath
unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days,
even fourteen days.
11-9:4 And
if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in
uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my
judgments:
11-9:11 (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had
furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to
all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
11-9:16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up,
and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
11-9:18 And
Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
11-9:19 And
all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and
cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in
Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
11-9:21 Their
children that were left after them in the land,
whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those
did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
11-9:23 These
were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred
and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
11-9:25 And
three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt
offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and
he burnt incense upon the altar that was before
the LORD. So he finished the house.
11-9:26 And
king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber,
which is beside Eloth, on the shore
of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
11-9:27 And
Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen
that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
11-10:2 And
she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices,
and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she
communed with him of all that was in her heart.
11-10:5 And
the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of
his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which
he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
11-10:6 And
she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
11-10:9 Blessed
be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to
set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever,
therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.
11-10:11 And
the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and
precious stones.
11-10:14 Now
the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one
year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
11-10:17 And
he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went
to one shield: and the king put them in the
house of the forest of Lebanon.
11-10:20 And
twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps:
there was not the like made in any kingdom.
11-10:21 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 nothing accounted
of in the days of Solomon.
11-10:22 For
the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing
gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
11-10:24 And
all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
11-10:26 And
Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four
hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at
Jerusalem.
11-10:27 And
the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in
the vale, for abundance.
11-11:2 Of
the nations concerning which the LORD
said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in
to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your
heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in
love.
11-11:6 And
Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went
not fully after the LORD, as did David
his father.
11-11:7 Then
did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is
before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
11-11:12 Notwithstanding
in thy days I will not do it for David thy
father’s sake: but I will rend it out
of the hand of thy son.
11-11:14 And
the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom.
11-11:15 For
it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and
Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had
smitten every male in Edom;
11-11:16 (For
six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every
male in Edom:)
11-11:19 And
Hadad found great favour in the sight of
Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of
Tahpenes the queen.
11-11:20 And
the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s household among the sons of Pharaoh.
11-11:21 And
when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with
his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to
Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.
11-11:22 Then
Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou
seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go
in any wise.
11-11:24 And
he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and
dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.
11-11:29 And
it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that 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:
11-11:30 And
Ahijah caught the new garment that was on
him, and rent it in
twelve pieces:
11-11:33 Because
that 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 mine eyes, and to
keep my statutes and my judgments, as did
David his father.
11-11:36 And
unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light
alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I
have chosen me to put my name there.
11-11:38 And
it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that
is right in my sight, to keep my statutes
and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and
build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
11-11:40 Solomon
sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt,
unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt
until the death of Solomon.
11-11:41 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?
11-11:42 And
the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over
all Israel was forty years.
11-11:43 And
Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in
the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
11-12:2 And
it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of
it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)
11-12:16 So
when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered
the king, saying, What portion have we in David?
neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see
to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
11-12:17 But
as for the children of Israel which
dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned
over them.
11-12:25 Then
Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and
dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
11-12:26 And
Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the
kingdom return to the house of David:
11-12:27 If
this people go up to do sacrifice in the house
of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto
their lord, even unto Rehoboam king
of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
11-12:29 And
he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
11-12:32 And
Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month,
on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in
Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in
Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had
made.
11-12:33 So
he offered upon the altar which he had made in
Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had
devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and
he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
11-13:2 And
he cried against the altar in the word of the
LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be
born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the
priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall
be burnt upon thee.
11-13:4 And
it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which
had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he
put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which
he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.
11-13:8 And
the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I
will not go in with thee, neither will I eat
bread nor drink water in this place:
11-13:11 Now
there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his
sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the
king, them they told also to their father.
11-13:16 And
he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in
with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
11-13:19 So
he went back with him, and did eat bread in his
house, and drank water.
11-13:22 But
camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in
the place, of the which the LORD did
say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto
the sepulchre of thy fathers.
11-13:24 And
when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was
cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the
lion also stood by the carcase.
11-13:25 And,
behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in
the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the
city where the old prophet dwelt.
11-13:28 And
he went and found his carcase cast in the way,
and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the
carcase, nor torn the ass.
