Versliste
So the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto the peopleH5971: for the causeH5252 was of GodH430, that the LORDH3068 might performH6965 his wordH1697, which he spakeH1696 by the handH3027 of AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 to JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028.
And when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 would not hearkenH8085 unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH7725 the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? and we have none inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: every manH376 to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: and now, DavidH1732, seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004. So all IsraelH3478 wentH3212 to their tentsH168.
But as for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, RehoboamH7346 reignedH4427 over them.
Then kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 sentH7971 HadoramH1913 that was over the tributeH4522; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191. But kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 made speedH553 to get him upH5927 to his chariotH4818, to fleeH5127 to JerusalemH3389. {made speed: Heb. strengthened himself}
And IsraelH3478 rebelledH6586 against the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 unto this dayH3117.
And he saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, TakeH3947 thee tenH6235 piecesH7168: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I will rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of the handH3027 of SolomonH8010, and will giveH5414 tenH6235 tribesH7626 to thee:
(But he shall have oneH259 tribeH7626 for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478:)
But as for you, ye thoughtH2803 evilH7451 against me; but GodH430 meant itH2803 unto goodH2896, toH4616 bring to passH6213, as it is this dayH3117, to saveH2421 muchH7227 peopleH5971 aliveH2421.
HimG5126, being deliveredG1560 by the determinateG3724 counselG1012 andG2532 foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316, ye have takenG2983, and byG1223 wickedG459 handsG5495 have crucifiedG4362 and slainG337:
But kingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 strangeH5237 womenH802, together with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547, women of the MoabitesH4125, AmmonitesH5984, EdomitesH130, ZidoniansH6722, and HittitesH2850; {together…: or, beside}
Of the nationsH1471 concerning which the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye shall not go inH935 to them, neither shall they come inH935 unto you: for surelyH403 they will turn awayH5186 your heartH3824 afterH310 their godsH430: SolomonH8010 claveH1692 unto these in loveH157.
And he had sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802, princessesH8282, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370: and his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3820.
For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.
And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {went…: Heb. fulfilled not after}
Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And likewise didH6213 he for all his strangeH5237 wivesH802, which burnt incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 unto their godsH430.
And the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with SolomonH8010, because his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 from the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which had appearedH7200 unto him twiceH6471,
And had commandedH6680 him concerning this thingH1697, that he should not goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: but he keptH8104 not that which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SolomonH8010, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not keptH8104 my covenantH1285 and my statutesH2708, which I have commandedH6680 thee, I will surelyH7167 rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 from thee, and will giveH5414 it to thy servantH5650. {is done…: Heb. is with thee}
Notwithstanding in thy daysH3117 I will not doH6213 it for DavidH1732 thy father'sH1 sake: but I will rendH7167 it out of the handH3027 of thy sonH1121.
HowbeitH7535 I will not rend awayH7167 all the kingdomH4467; but will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake which I have chosenH977.
And the LORDH3068 stirred upH6965 an adversaryH7854 unto SolomonH8010, HadadH1908 the EdomiteH130: he was of the king'sH4428 seedH2233 in EdomH123.
For it came to pass, when DavidH1732 was in EdomH123, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was gone upH5927 to buryH6912 the slainH2491, after he had smittenH5221 every maleH2145 in EdomH123;
(For sixH8337 monthsH2320 did JoabH3097 remainH3427 there with all IsraelH3478, until he had cut offH3772 every maleH2145 in EdomH123:)
That HadadH111 fledH1272, he and certainH582 EdomitesH130 of his father'sH1 servantsH5650 with him, to goH935 into EgyptH4714; HadadH1908 being yet a littleH6996 childH5288.
And they aroseH6965 out of MidianH4080, and cameH935 to ParanH6290: and they tookH3947 menH582 with them out of ParanH6290, and they cameH935 to EgyptH4714, unto PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714; which gaveH5414 him an houseH1004, and appointedH559 him victualsH3899, and gaveH5414 him landH776.
And HadadH1908 foundH4672 greatH3966 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of PharaohH6547, so that he gaveH5414 him to wifeH802 the sisterH269 of his own wifeH802, the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 the queenH1377.
And the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 bareH3205 him GenubathH1592 his sonH1121, whom TahpenesH8472 weanedH1580 inH8432 Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004: and GenubathH1592 was in Pharaoh'sH6547 householdH1004 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of PharaohH6547.
And when HadadH1908 heardH8085 in EgyptH4714 that DavidH1732 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and that JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was deadH4191, HadadH1908 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, Let me departH7971, that I may goH3212 to mine own countryH776. {Let…: Heb. Send me away}
Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto him, But what hast thou lackedH2638 with me, that, behold, thou seekestH1245 to goH3212 to thine own countryH776? And he answeredH559, Nothing: howbeit let me goH7971 in any wiseH7971. {Nothing: Heb. Not}
And GodH430 stirred him upH6965 another adversaryH7854, RezonH7331 the sonH1121 of EliadahH450, which fledH1272 from his lordH113 HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678:
And he gatheredH6908 menH582 unto him, and became captainH8269 over a bandH1416, when DavidH1732 slewH2026 them of Zobah: and they wentH3212 to DamascusH1834, and dweltH3427 therein, and reignedH4427 in DamascusH1834.
And he was an adversaryH7854 to IsraelH3478 all the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010, beside the mischiefH7451 that HadadH1908 did: and he abhorredH6973 IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 over SyriaH758.
And JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, an EphrathiteH673 of ZeredaH6868, Solomon'sH8010 servantH5650, whose mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZeruahH6871, a widowH490 womanH802, even he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428.
And this was the causeH1697 that he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428: SolomonH8010 builtH1129 MilloH4407, and repairedH5462 the breachesH6556 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {repaired: Heb. closed}
And the manH376 JeroboamH3379 was a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428: and SolomonH8010 seeingH7200 the young manH5288 that he was industriousH6213+H4399, he made him rulerH6485 over all the chargeH5447 of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130. {was industrious: Heb. did work} {charge: Heb. burden}
And it came to pass at that timeH6256 when JeroboamH3379 went outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, that the prophetH5030 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 foundH4672 him in the wayH1870; and he had cladH3680 himself with a newH2319 garmentH8008; and they twoH8147 were alone in the fieldH7704:
And AhijahH281 caughtH8610 the newH2319 garmentH8008 that was on him, and rentH7167 it in twelveH8147+H6240 piecesH7168:
And he saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, TakeH3947 thee tenH6235 piecesH7168: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I will rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of the handH3027 of SolomonH8010, and will giveH5414 tenH6235 tribesH7626 to thee:
(But he shall have oneH259 tribeH7626 for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478:)
Because that they have forsakenH5800 me, and have worshippedH7812 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of the MoabitesH4124, and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and have not walkedH1980 in my waysH1870, to doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and to keep my statutesH2708 and my judgmentsH4941, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
Howbeit I will not takeH3947 the whole kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027: but I will makeH7896 him princeH5387 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, whom I choseH977, because he keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708:
But I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 out of his son'sH1121 handH3027, and will giveH5414 it unto thee, even tenH6235 tribesH7626.
And unto his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may have a lightH5216 alwayH3117 beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 me to putH7760 my nameH8034 there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
And I will takeH3947 thee, and thou shalt reignH4427 according to all that thy soulH5315 desirethH183, and shalt be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearkenH8085 unto all that I commandH6680 thee, and wilt walkH1980 in my waysH1870, and doH6213 that is rightH3477 in my sightH5869, to keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, as DavidH1732 my servantH5650 didH6213; that I will be with thee, and buildH1129 thee a sureH539 houseH1004, as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 unto thee.
And I will for this afflictH6031 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732, but not for everH3117.
SolomonH8010 soughtH1245 therefore to killH4191 JeroboamH3379. And JeroboamH3379 aroseH6965, and fledH1272 into EgyptH4714, unto ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and was in EgyptH4714 until the deathH4194 of SolomonH8010.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010, and all that he didH6213, and his wisdomH2451, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010? {acts: or, words, or, things}
And the timeH3117 that SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 over all IsraelH3478 was fortyH705 yearsH8141. {time: Heb. days}
And SolomonH8010 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Rehoboam: Gr. Roboam}
And who knowethH3045 whether he shall be a wiseH2450 man or a foolH5530? yet shall he have ruleH7980 over all my labourH5999 wherein I have labouredH5998, and wherein I have shewed myself wiseH2449 under the sunH8121. This is also vanityH1892.
And there are gatheredH6908 unto him vainH7386 menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, and have strengthenedH553 themselves against RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, when RehoboamH7346 was youngH5288 and tenderheartedH7390+H3824, and could not withstandH2388 themH6440.
SpeakH559 unto RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and to all IsraelH3478 in JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, sayingH559,
And it came to pass, when RehoboamH7346 had establishedH3559 the kingdomH4438, and had strengthenedH2393 himself, he forsookH5800 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and all IsraelH3478 with him.
And RehoboamH7346 wentH3212 to ShechemH7927: for all IsraelH3478 were comeH935 to ShechemH7927 to make him kingH4427.
And it came to pass, when JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who was yet in EgyptH4714, heardH8085 of it, (for he was fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and JeroboamH3379 dweltH3427 in EgyptH4714;)
That they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him. And JeroboamH3379 and all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 cameH935, and spakeH1696 unto RehoboamH7346, sayingH559,
Thy fatherH1 madeH7185 our yokeH5923 grievousH7185: now therefore make thou the grievousH7186 serviceH5656 of thy fatherH1, and his heavyH3515 yokeH5923 which he putH5414 upon us, lighterH7043, and we will serveH5647 thee.
And he saidH559 unto them, DepartH3212 yet for threeH7969 daysH3117, then come againH7725 to me. And the peopleH5971 departedH3212.
And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 consultedH3289 with the old menH2205, that stoodH5975 beforeH6440 SolomonH8010 his fatherH1 while he yet livedH2416, and saidH559, How do ye adviseH3289 that I mayH7725 answerH1697 this peopleH5971?
And they spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, If thou wilt be a servantH5650 unto this peopleH5971 this dayH3117, and wilt serveH5647 them, and answerH6030 them, and speakH1696 goodH2896 wordsH1697 to them, then they will be thy servantsH5650 for everH3117.
But he forsookH5800 the counselH6098 of the old menH2205, which they had givenH3289 him, and consultedH3289 with the young menH3206 that were grown upH1431 with him, and which stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him:
And he saidH559 unto them, What counsel giveH3289 ye that we mayH7725 answerH1697 this peopleH5971, who have spokenH1696 to me, sayingH559, MakeH7043 the yokeH5923 which thy fatherH1 did putH5414 upon us lighterH7043?
And the young menH3206 that were grown upH1431 with him spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus shalt thou speakH559 unto this peopleH5971 that spakeH1696 unto thee, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 madeH3513 our yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but make thou it lighterH7043 unto us; thus shalt thou sayH1696 unto them, My littleH6995 finger shall be thickerH5666 than my father'sH1 loinsH4975.
And now whereas my fatherH1 did ladeH6006 you with a heavyH3515 yokeH5923, I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 hath chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastiseH3256 you with scorpionsH6137.
So JeroboamH3379 and all the peopleH5971 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346 the thirdH7992 dayH3117, as the kingH4428 had appointedH1696, sayingH559, Come to me againH7725 the thirdH7992 dayH3117.
And the kingH4428 answeredH6030 the peopleH5971 roughlyH7186, and forsookH5800 the old men'sH2205 counselH6098 that they gaveH3289 him; {roughly: Heb. hardly}
And spakeH1696 to them after the counselH6098 of the young menH3206, sayingH559, My fatherH1 madeH3513 your yokeH5923 heavyH3513, and I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 also chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastiseH3256 you with scorpionsH6137.
Wherefore the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto the peopleH5971; for the causeH5438 was from the LORDH3068, that he might performH6965 his sayingH1697, which the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 byH3027 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 unto JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028.
SoH7725 when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH1697 the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: now seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004, DavidH1732. So IsraelH3478 departedH3212 unto their tentsH168.
But as for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 which dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, RehoboamH7346 reignedH4427 over them.
Then kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 sentH7971 AdoramH151, who was over the tributeH4522; and all IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191. Therefore kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 made speedH553 to get him upH5927 to his chariotH4818, to fleeH5127 to JerusalemH3389. {made…: Heb. strengthened himself}
So IsraelH3478 rebelledH6586 against the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 unto this dayH3117. {rebelled: or, fell away}
And it came to pass, when all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 was come againH7725, that they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him unto the congregationH5712, and made him kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478: there was none that followedH310 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, butH2108 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
And when RehoboamH7346 was comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, he assembledH6950 all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, with the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, an hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505 chosen menH977, which were warriorsH6213+H4421, to fightH3898 against the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to bringH7725 the kingdomH4410 againH7725 to RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010.
But the wordH1697 of GodH430 came unto ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto RehoboamH7346, the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and unto all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and to the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye shall not go upH5927, nor fightH3898 against your brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004; for this thingH1697 isH1961 from me. They hearkenedH8085 therefore to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and returnedH7725 to departH3212, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Then JeroboamH3379 builtH1129 ShechemH7927 in mountH2022 EphraimH669, and dweltH3427 therein; and went outH3318 from thence, and builtH1129 PenuelH6439.
And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 in his heartH3820, Now shall the kingdomH4467 returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732:
If this peopleH5971 go upH5927 to doH6213 sacrificeH2077 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389, then shall the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 turn againH7725 unto their lordH113, even unto RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and they shall killH2026 me, and go againH7725 to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
Whereupon the kingH4428 took counselH3289, and madeH6213 twoH8147 calvesH5695 of goldH2091, and saidH559 unto them, It is too muchH7227 for you to go upH5927 to JerusalemH3389: behold thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which brought thee upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And he setH7760 the oneH259 in BethelH1008, and the otherH259 putH5414 he in DanH1835.
And this thingH1697 became a sinH2403: for the peopleH5971 wentH3212 to worship beforeH6440 the oneH259, even unto DanH1835.
And he madeH6213 an houseH1004 of high placesH1116, and madeH6213 priestsH3548 of the lowestH7098 of the peopleH5971, which were not of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.
And JeroboamH3379 ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320, on the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, like unto the feastH2282 that is in JudahH3063, and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196. So didH6213 he in BethelH1008, sacrificingH2076 unto the calvesH5695 that he had madeH6213: and he placedH5975 in BethelH1008 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 which he had madeH6213. {offered…: or, went up to the altar, etc} {sacrificing: or, to sacrifice}
So he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196 which he had madeH6213 in BethelH1008 the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the eighthH8066 monthH2320, even in the monthH2320 which he had devisedH908 of his own heartH3820; and ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196, and burnt incenseH6999. {offered…: or, went up to the altar, etc} {and burnt…: Heb. to burn incense}
