Now the restH7605 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010, firstH7223 and lastH314, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and in the prophecyH5016 of AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888, and in the visionsH2378 of IddoH3260 the seerH2374 against JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028? {book: Heb. words}
And SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 over all IsraelH3478 fortyH705 yearsH8141.
And SolomonH8010 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and he was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 satH3427 in his houseH1004, and the LORDH3068 had given him restH5117 round aboutH5439 from all his enemiesH341;
That the kingH4428 saidH559 unto NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, SeeH7200 now, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarH730, but the arkH727 of GodH430 dwellethH3427 withinH8432 curtainsH3407.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to the kingH4428, GoH3212, doH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for the LORDH3068 is with thee.
And it came to pass that nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto NathanH5416, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH559 my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Shalt thou buildH1129 me an houseH1004 for me to dwell inH3427? {my servant…: Heb. to my servant, to David}
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 NathanH5416 unto DavidH1732. And he cameH935 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, There were twoH8147 menH582 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the otherH259 poorH7326.
The richH6223 man had exceedingH3966 manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241:
But the poorH7326 man had nothing, save oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lambH3535, which he had boughtH7069 and nourished upH2421: and it grew upH1431 togetherH3162 with him, and with his childrenH1121; it did eatH398 of his own meatH6595, and drankH8354 of his own cupH3563, and layH7901 in his bosomH2436, and was unto him as a daughterH1323. {meat: Heb. morsel}
And there cameH935 a travellerH1982 unto the richH6223 manH376, and he sparedH2550 to takeH3947 of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to dressH6213 for the wayfaring manH732 that was comeH935 unto him; but tookH3947 the poorH7326 man'sH376 lambH3535, and dressedH6213 it for the manH376 that was comeH935 to him.
And David'sH1732 angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against the manH376; and he saidH559 to NathanH5416, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the manH376 that hath doneH6213 this thing shall surelyH1121 dieH4194: {shall…: or, is worthy to die, or, is a son of death}
And he shall restoreH7999 the lambH3535 fourfoldH706, becauseH6118 he didH6213 this thingH1697, and becauseH834 he had no pityH2550.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376. Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337 thee out of the handH3027 of SaulH7586;
And I gaveH5414 thee thy master'sH113 houseH1004, and thy master'sH113 wivesH802 into thy bosomH2436, and gaveH5414 thee the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063; and if that had been too littleH4592, I would moreover have givenH3254 unto thee suchH2007 and such thingsH2007.
Wherefore hast thou despisedH959 the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 evilH7451 in his sightH5869? thou hast killedH5221 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 with the swordH2719, and hast takenH3947 his wifeH802 to be thy wifeH802, and hast slainH2026 him with the swordH2719 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
Now therefore the swordH2719 shall neverH5704+H5769 departH5493 from thine houseH1004; becauseH6118 thou hast despisedH959 me, and hast takenH3947 the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to be thy wifeH802.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will raise upH6965 evilH7451 against thee out of thine own houseH1004, and I will takeH3947 thy wivesH802 before thine eyesH5869, and giveH5414 them unto thy neighbourH7453, and he shall lieH7901 with thy wivesH802 in the sightH5869 of this sunH8121.
For thou didstH6213 it secretlyH5643: but I will doH6213 this thingH1697 before all IsraelH3478, and before the sunH8121.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto NathanH5416, I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068. And NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, The LORDH3068 also hath put awayH5674 thy sinH2403; thou shalt not dieH4191.
HowbeitH657, because by this deedH1697 thou hast givenH5006 great occasionH5006 to the enemiesH341 of the LORDH3068 to blasphemeH5006, the childH1121 also that is bornH3209 unto thee shall surelyH4191 dieH4191.
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.
And RehoboamH7346 wentH3212 to ShechemH7927: for to ShechemH7927 were all IsraelH3478 comeH935 to make him kingH4427.
And it came to pass, when JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who was in EgyptH4714, whither he had fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010 the kingH4428, heardH8085 it, that JeroboamH3379 returnedH7725 out of EgyptH4714.
And they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him. So JeroboamH3379 and all IsraelH3478 cameH935 and spakeH1696 to RehoboamH7346, sayingH559,
Thy fatherH1 made our yokeH5923 grievousH7185: now therefore easeH7043 thou somewhat the grievousH7186 servitudeH5656 of thy fatherH1, and his heavyH3515 yokeH5923 that he putH5414 upon us, and we will serveH5647 thee.
And he saidH559 unto them, Come againH7725 unto me after threeH7969 daysH3117. And the peopleH5971 departedH3212.
And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 took counselH3289 with the oldH2205 men that had stoodH5975 beforeH6440 SolomonH8010 his fatherH1 while he yet livedH2416, sayingH559, WhatH349 counsel giveH3289 ye me to returnH7725 answerH1697 to this peopleH5971?
And they spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, If thou be kindH2896 to this peopleH5971, and pleaseH7521 them, and speakH1696 goodH2896 wordsH1697 to them, they will be thy servantsH5650 for everH3117.
But he forsookH5800 the counselH6098 which the old menH2205 gaveH3289 him, and took counselH3289 with the young menH3206 that were brought upH1431 with him, that stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him.
And he saidH559 unto them, What adviceH3289 give ye that we may returnH7725 answerH1697 to this peopleH5971, which have spokenH1696 to me, sayingH559, EaseH7043 somewhat the yokeH5923 that thy fatherH1 did putH5414 upon us?
And the young menH3206 that were brought upH1431 with him spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus shalt thou answerH559 the peopleH5971 that spakeH1696 unto thee, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 madeH3513 our yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but make thou it somewhat lighterH7043 for us; thus shalt thou sayH559 unto them, My littleH6995 finger shall be thickerH5666 than my father'sH1 loinsH4975.
For whereasH6258 my fatherH1 putH6006 a heavyH3515 yokeH5923 upon you, I will put moreH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastise you with scorpionsH6137. {my father put: Heb. my father laded}
So JeroboamH3379 and all the peopleH5971 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, as the kingH4428 badeH1696, sayingH559, Come againH7725 to me on the thirdH7992 dayH3117.
And the kingH4428 answeredH6030 them roughlyH7186; and kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 forsookH5800 the counselH6098 of the old menH2205,
And answeredH1696 them after the adviceH6098 of the young menH3206, sayingH559, My fatherH1 made your yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but I will addH3254 thereto: my fatherH1 chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastise you with scorpionsH6137.
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.
