I Kings 11

1And king Solomon loved many strange women, besides the daughter of Pharao, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Edom, and of Sidon, and of the Hethites:
Deuteronomy 17:17, Deuteronomy 17:17, Proverbs 6:24, Proverbs 6:24, Nehemiah 13:23
2Of the nations concerning which the Lord said to the children of Israel: You shall not go in unto them, neither shall any of them come into yours: for they will most certainly turn away your hearts to follow their gods. And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent love.
Exodus 34:16, Exodus 34:16, Deuteronomy 7:3, Deuteronomy 7:4, Deuteronomy 7:3
3And he had seven hundred wives as queens, and three hundred concubines: and the women turned away his heart.
Ecclesiastes 7:28, 2 Samuel 5:13, 2 Samuel 5:16, Ecclesiastes 7:28, 2 Samuel 5:13
4And when he was now old, his heart was turned away by women to follow strange gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father.
1 Kings 9:4, 1 Kings 9:4, 1 Kings 8:61, 1 Kings 8:61, 1 Chronicles 28:9
5But Solomon worshipped Astarthe, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Moloch, the idol of the Ammonites.
Judges 2:13, 1 Kings 11:7, Judges 2:13, 1 Kings 11:7, 1 Kings 11:33
6And Solomon did that which was not pleasing before the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as David, his father.
Numbers 14:24, Numbers 14:24, Joshua 14:8, Joshua 14:14, Joshua 14:8
7Then Solomon built a temple for Chamos, the idol of Moab, on the hill that is over against Jerusalem, and for Moloch, the idol of the children of Ammon.
Numbers 21:29, Numbers 21:29, Judges 11:24, Judges 11:24, Acts 7:43
8And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice to their gods.
1 Corinthians 10:11, 1 Corinthians 10:12, Ezekiel 16:22, Ezekiel 16:29, 1 Kings 11:1
9And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his mind was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice;
1 Kings 3:5, 1 Kings 9:2, 1 Kings 3:5, 1 Kings 9:2, Deuteronomy 9:20
10And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not follow strange gods: but he kept not the things which the Lord commanded him.
1 Kings 6:12, 1 Kings 6:13, 1 Kings 6:12, 1 Kings 6:13, 2 Chronicles 7:17
11The Lord therefore said to Solomon: Because thou hast done this, and hast not kept my covenant, and my precepts, which I have commanded thee, I will divide and rend thy kingdom, and will give it to thy servant.
1 Kings 11:31, 1 Kings 12:15, 1 Kings 12:16, 1 Kings 11:31, 1 Kings 12:15
12Nevertheless, 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.
Genesis 12:2, 1 Kings 21:29, 1 Samuel 9:4, 1 Samuel 9:5, Genesis 19:29
13Neither will I take away the whole kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for the sake of David, my servant, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen.
1 Kings 12:20, 1 Kings 12:20, 1 Kings 11:32, Deuteronomy 12:11, 1 Kings 11:32
14And the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Adad, the Edomite, of the king's seed, in Edom.
Isaiah 10:26, Psalms 89:30, Psalms 89:34, 2 Samuel 24:1, 1 Chronicles 5:26
15For when David was in Edom, and Joab, the general of the army, was gone up to bury them that were slain, and had killed every male in Edom,
2 Samuel 8:14, 2 Samuel 8:14, 1 Chronicles 18:12, 1 Chronicles 18:13, 1 Chronicles 18:12
16(For Joab remained there six months with all Israel, till he had slain every male in Edom,)
17Then Adad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants, with him, to go into Egypt: and Adad was then a little boy.
2 Kings 11:2, Matthew 2:13, Matthew 2:14, Exodus 2:1, Exodus 2:10
18And they arose out of Madian, and came into Pharan, and they took men with them from Pharan, and went into Egypt, to Pharao, the king of Egypt: who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and assigned him land.
Numbers 10:12, Numbers 10:12, Deuteronomy 1:1, Deuteronomy 33:2, Deuteronomy 1:1
19And Adad found great favour before Pharao, insomuch that he gave him to wife the own sister of his wife, Taphnes, the queen.
Genesis 39:4, Jeremiah 43:7, Jeremiah 43:9, Acts 7:10, Genesis 41:45
20And the sister of Taphnes bore him his son, Genubath; and Taphnes brought him up in the house of Pharao: and Genubath dwelt with Pharao among his children.
1 Samuel 1:24, Genesis 21:7, 1 Samuel 1:24, Genesis 21:7
21And when Adad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab, the general of the army, was dead, he said to Pharao: Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.
1 Kings 2:10, 1 Kings 2:10, Exodus 4:19, 2 Samuel 3:21, Joshua 2:21
22And Pharao said to him: Why, what is wanting to thee with me, that thou seekest to go to thy own country? But he answered: Nothing; yet I beseech thee to let me go.
Jeremiah 2:31, Luke 22:35, Psalms 37:8, 2 Samuel 18:22, 2 Samuel 18:23
23God also raised up against him an adversary, Razon, the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Adarezer, the king of Soba.
2 Samuel 8:3, 1 Kings 11:14, 2 Samuel 8:3, 1 Kings 11:14, Ezra 1:1
24And he gathered men against him, and he became a captain of robbers, when David slew them of Soba: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him king in Damascus.
2 Samuel 10:8, 2 Samuel 10:18, 2 Samuel 10:8, 2 Samuel 10:18, 1 Kings 20:34
25And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel; and he reigned in Syria.
1 Kings 5:4, Psalms 106:40, Deuteronomy 23:7, 2 Chronicles 15:2, 2 Samuel 16:21
26Jeroboam also, the son of Nabat, an Ephrathite, of Sareda, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Sarua, a widow woman, lifted up his hand against the king.
2 Chronicles 13:6, 1 Kings 12:2, 2 Chronicles 13:6, 1 Kings 12:2, Ruth 1:2
27And this is the cause of his rebellion against him; for Solomon built Mello, and filled up the breach of the city of David, his father.
1 Kings 9:24, 1 Kings 9:24, 1 Kings 9:15, 1 Kings 9:15, Isaiah 22:9
28And Jeroboam was a valiant and mighty man: and Solomon seeing him a young man ingenious and industrious, made him chief over the tributes of all the house of Joseph.
Proverbs 22:29, Proverbs 22:29, Deuteronomy 1:12, Isaiah 14:25, 1 Kings 5:16
29So it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias, the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the field.
1 Kings 14:2, 1 Kings 12:15, 2 Chronicles 9:29, 1 Kings 14:2, 1 Kings 12:15
30And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts:
1 Samuel 15:27, 1 Samuel 15:28, 1 Samuel 15:27, 1 Samuel 15:28, 1 Samuel 24:4
31And he said to Jeroboam: Take to 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 thee ten tribes.
1 Kings 11:11, 1 Kings 11:12, 1 Kings 11:11, 1 Kings 11:12
32But one tribe shall remain to him for the sake of my servant, David, and Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:
1 Kings 11:13, 1 Kings 11:13, 1 Kings 12:20, 1 Kings 12:21, 1 Kings 14:21
33Because he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos, the god of Moab, and Moloch, the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments, as did David, his father.
1 Kings 11:5, 1 Kings 11:7, 1 Kings 11:9, 1 Kings 11:5, 1 Kings 11:7
34Yet I will not take away all the 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, who kept my commandments, and my precepts.
Job 11:6, Isaiah 55:3, 1 Kings 11:12, 1 Kings 11:13, 1 Kings 11:31
35But I will take away the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give thee ten tribes:
1 Kings 12:15, 1 Kings 12:17, 1 Kings 12:20, Exodus 20:5, Exodus 20:6
36And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant, David, before me always in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen, that my name might be there.
1 Kings 15:4, 1 Kings 11:13, 2 Kings 8:19, 1 Kings 15:4, 1 Kings 11:13
37And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.
2 Samuel 3:21, 2 Samuel 3:21, 1 Kings 11:26, Deuteronomy 14:26, 1 Kings 11:26
38If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David, my servant, did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to thee:
2 Samuel 7:11, 2 Samuel 7:11, Joshua 1:5, Joshua 1:5, Deuteronomy 31:8
39And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but yet not for ever.
Isaiah 11:1, Isaiah 11:10, Luke 2:11, Isaiah 9:7, Luke 1:32
40Solomon, therefore, sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose, and fled into Egypt, to Sesac, the king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.
2 Chronicles 12:2, 2 Chronicles 12:9, 2 Chronicles 12:2, 2 Chronicles 12:9, Isaiah 46:10
41And the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.
2 Chronicles 9:29, 2 Chronicles 9:31, 2 Chronicles 9:29, 2 Chronicles 9:31
42And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all Israel, were forty years.
1 Kings 2:11, 1 Kings 2:11
43And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David, his father; and Roboam, his son, reigned in his stead.
2 Kings 21:18, 1 Kings 2:10, 2 Kings 21:18, 1 Kings 2:10, Matthew 1:7
