CHAPTER 11
1 Kings 11:1
1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of
Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
1 Kings 11:2
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.
1 Kings 11:3
3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and
his wives turned away his heart. 1 Kings 11:4
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. 1 Kings 11:5
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after
Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 1 Kings 11:6
6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the
LORD, as did David his father.
1 Kings 11:7
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.
1 Kings 11:8
8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and
sacrificed unto their gods.
1 Kings 11:9
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, 1 Kings 11:10
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. 1 Kings 11:11
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.
1 Kings 11:12
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. 1 Kings 11:13
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.
1 Kings 11:14
14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was
of the king's seed in Edom.
1 Kings 11:15
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; 1
Kings 11:16
16 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off
every male in Edom:)
1 Kings 11:17
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. 1 Kings 11:18
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. 1 Kings 11:19
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. 1 Kings
11:20
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.
1 Kings 11:21
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. 1 Kings 11:22
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.
1 Kings 11:23
23 And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which
fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah: 1 Kings 11:24
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.
1 Kings 11:25
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. 1
Kings 11:26
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.
1 Kings 11:27
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.
1 Kings 11:28
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.
1 Kings 11:29
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: 1 Kings 11:30
30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve
pieces:
1 Kings 11:31
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: 1 Kings 11:32
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:)
1 Kings 11:33
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.
1 Kings 11:34
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: 1 Kings 11:35
35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto
thee, even ten tribes.
1 Kings 11:36
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.
1 Kings 11:37
37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul
desireth, and shalt be king over Israel. 1 Kings 11:38
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.
1 Kings 11:39
39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever. 1 Kings
11:40
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.
1 Kings 11:41
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? 1 Kings 11:42
42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty
years.
1 Kings 11:43
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. CHAPTER 12
1 Kings 12:1
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him
king.
1 Kings 12:2
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;)
1 Kings 12:3
3 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of
Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying, 1 Kings 12:4
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.
1 Kings 12:5
5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And
the people departed.
1 Kings 12:6
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?
1 Kings 12:7
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. 1 Kings 12:8
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:
1 Kings 12:9
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?
1 Kings 12:10
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.
1 Kings 12:11
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.
1 Kings 12:12
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. 1 Kings 12:13
13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel
that they gave him;
1 Kings 12:14
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. 1 Kings 12:15
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. 1 Kings 12:16
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. 1 Kings 12:17
17 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah,
Rehoboam reigned over them.
1 Kings 12:18
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. 1 Kings 12:19
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. 1 Kings 12:20
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again,
that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all
Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but  the tribe of
Judah  only.
1 Kings 12:21
21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of
Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen
men, which were warriors,  to fight  against the house  of Israel,  to bring
the kingdom  again  to Rehoboam  the son  of Solomon. 1 Kings 12:22
22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 1 Kings 12:23
23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the
house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying, 1 Kings
12:24
24 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the
children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me.
They hearkened  therefore to the word  of the LORD,  and returned to depart, 
according to the word  of the LORD. 1 Kings 12:25
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went
out from thence, and built Penuel.
1 Kings 12:26
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of
David:
1 Kings 12:27
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.
1 Kings 12:28
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto
them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel,
which brought thee up  out of the land  of Egypt. 1 Kings 12:29
29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. 1 Kings 12:30
30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one,
even unto Dan.
1 Kings 12:31
31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the
people, which were not of the sons of Levi. 1 Kings 12:32
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.
1 Kings 12:33
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. CHAPTER 13
1 Kings 13:1
1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD
unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. 1 Kings 13:2
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.
1 Kings 13:3
3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath
spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall
be poured out.
1 Kings 13:4
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. 1 Kings 13:5
5 The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according
to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
1 Kings 13:6
6 And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of
the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And
the man  of God  besought  the LORD,  and the king's  hand  was restored him
again,  and became as it was before. 1 Kings 13:7
7 And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh
thyself, and I will give thee a reward. 1 Kings 13:8
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:
1 Kings 13:9
9 For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor
drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. 1 Kings 13:10
10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
1 Kings 13:11
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. 1 Kings 13:12
12 And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen
what way the man of God went, which came from Judah. 1 Kings 13:13
13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass:
and he rode thereon,
1 Kings 13:14
14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he
said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I
am.
1 Kings 13:15
15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread. 1 Kings 13:16
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: 1 Kings 13:17
17 For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor
drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. 1 Kings
13:18
18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto
me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house,
that he may eat bread and drink water.  But he lied  unto him. 1 Kings 13:19
19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
1 Kings 13:20
20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD
came unto the prophet that brought him back: 1 Kings 13:21
21 And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith
the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not
kept  the commandment  which the LORD  thy God  commanded  thee, 1 Kings 13:22
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. 1 Kings 13:23
23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that
he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
1 Kings 13:24
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.
1 Kings 13:25
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.
1 Kings 13:26
26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he
said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD:
therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion,  which hath torn  him, and
slain  him, according to the word  of the LORD,  which he spake  unto him.
1 Kings 13:27
27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.
1 Kings 13:28
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.
1 Kings 13:29
29 And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the
ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to
bury  him.
1 Kings 13:30
30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying,
Alas, my brother!
1 Kings 13:31
31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons,
saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is
buried; lay my bones  beside  his bones: 1 Kings 13:32
32 For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in
Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities
of Samaria, shall surely come to pass. 1 Kings 13:33
33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of
the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would,  he
consecrated  him, and he became one of the priests  of the high places. 1 Kings
13:34
34 And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off,
and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
