1Ki 11:1
But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of
Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and
Hittites;
1Ki 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.
1Ki 11:3 And he
had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his
wives turned away his heart.
1Ki 11:4 For 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 the LORD his God, as was
the heart of David his father.
1Ki 11:5 For
Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the
abomination of the Ammonites.
1Ki 11:6 And
Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD,
as did David his father.
1Ki 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.
1Ki 11:8 And
likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed
unto their gods.
1Ki 11:9 And the
LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of
Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
1Ki 11:10 And had
commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods:
but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
1Ki 11:11
Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as 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.
1Ki 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.
1Ki 11:13 Howbeit
I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son
for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.
1Ki 11:14 And the
LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of
the king's seed in Edom.
1Ki 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;
1Ki 11:16 (For six
months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male
in Edom:)
1Ki 11:17 That
Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go
into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.
1Ki 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, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an
house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
1Ki 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.
1Ki 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.
1Ki 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.
1Ki 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.
1Ki 11:23 And God
stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled
from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
1Ki 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.
1Ki 11:25 And he
was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that
Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
1Ki 11:26 And
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose
mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his
hand against the king.
1Ki 11:27 And this
was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king:
Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his
father.
1Ki 11:28 And the
man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young
man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house
of Joseph.
1Ki 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:
1Ki 11:30 And
Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in
twelve pieces:
1Ki 11:31 And he
said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of
Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will
give ten tribes to thee:
1Ki 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:)
1Ki 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.
1Ki 11:34 Howbeit
I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince
all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he
kept my commandments and my statutes:
1Ki 11:35 But I
will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even
ten tribes.
1Ki 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.
1Ki 11:37 And I
will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth,
and shalt be king over Israel.
1Ki 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.
1Ki 11:39 And I
will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
1Ki 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.
1Ki 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?
1Ki 11:42 And the
time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
1Ki 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.
1Ki 12:1
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to
make him king.
1Ki 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;)
1Ki 12:3 That they
sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and
spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
1Ki 12:4 Thy
father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of
thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve
thee.
1Ki 12:5 And he
said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And
the people departed.
1Ki 12:6 And king
Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while
he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?
1Ki 12:7 And they
spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day,
and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they
will be thy servants for ever.
1Ki 12:8 But he
forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted
with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before
him:
1Ki 12:9 And he
said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have
spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?
1Ki 12:10 And the
young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou
speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke
heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them,
My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
1Ki 12:11 And now
whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my
father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
1Ki 12:12 So
Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had
appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.
1Ki 12:13 And the
king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they
gave him;
1Ki 12:14 And
spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your
yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you
with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
1Ki 12:15
Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from
the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the
Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
1Ki 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.
1Ki 12:17 But as
for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam
reigned over them.
1Ki 12:18 Then
king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel
stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get
him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
1Ki 12:19 So
Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
Act 9:1
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the
disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
Act 9:2 And
desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of
this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto
Jerusalem.
Act 9:3 And as he
journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a
light from heaven:
Act 9:4 And he
fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me?
Act 9:5 And he
said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it
is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Act 9:6 And he
trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord
said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee
what thou must do.
Act 9:7 And the
men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no
man.
Act 9:8 And Saul
arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they
led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Act 9:9 And he was
three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
Act 9:10 And there
was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in
a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Act 9:11 And the
Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called
Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of
Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
Act 9:12 And hath
seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on
him, that he might receive his sight.
Act 9:13 Then
Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath
done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Act 9:14 And here
he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Act 9:15 But the
Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my
name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Act 9:16 For I
will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Act 9:17 And
Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him
said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the
way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be
filled with the Holy Ghost.
Act 9:18 And
immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received
sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
Act 9:19 And when
he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the
disciples which were at Damascus.
Act 9:20 And
straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Act 9:21 But all
that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them
which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that
he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
Act 9:22 But Saul
increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at
Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
Act 9:23 And after
that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
Act 9:24 But their
laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to
kill him.
Act 9:25 Then the
disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
Psa 131:1
A Song of degrees of David.
LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise
myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
Psa 131:2 Surely I
have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my
soul is even as a weaned child.
Psa 131:3 Let
Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
Pro 17:4 A wicked
doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty
tongue.
Pro 17:5 Whoso
mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at
calamities shall not be unpunished.
