1 Kings 11
11
1But king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House], women of the Mo’avi [of his father], [what father?] ‘Amon [Inbred], Edomi [red], people of Tzidon [Hunting], [and] Hitti [Terrorists];
2Of the nations [concerning] which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], You2f shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: [for] surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] clave unto these in love.
3And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
4For it came to pass, when Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], as [was] the heart of David [beloved] his father.
5For Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] went after ‘Ashtoret [star] the goddess of the people of Tzidon [Hunting], and after Milkom [great king] the abomination of the ‘Amon [Inbred].
6And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] did evil in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and went not fully after the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), as [did] David [beloved] his father.
7Then did Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] build an high place for K’mosh [Subduer], the abomination of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], in the hill that [is] before Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and for Molekh [king], the abomination of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred].
8And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
9And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was angry with Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], because his heart was turned from the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], which had appeared unto him twice,
10And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded.
11For what reason the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], Forasmuch as this is done of youi, and youi have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded youi, I will surely rend (tear apart; forcefully rip apart) the kingdom from youi, and will give it to youri servant.
12Yet in youri days I will not do it for David [beloved] youri father’s sake: [but] I will rend (tear apart; forcefully rip apart) it out of the hand of youri son.
13However I will not rend (tear apart; forcefully rip apart) away all the kingdom; [but] will give one tribe to youi son for David [beloved] my servant’s sake, and for Yerushalayim’s [Foundation of Peace] sake which I have chosen.
14And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) stirred up an adversary unto Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], Hadad [mighty] the Edomi [red]: he [was] of the king’s seed in Edom [Red].
15For it came to pass, when David [beloved] was in Edom [Red], and Yo’av [Yehovah is father] the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom [Red];
16(For six months did Yo’av [Yehovah is father] remain there with all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], until he had cut off every male in Edom [Red])
17That Hadad [mighty] fled, he and certain Edomi [red] of his father’s servants with him, to go into Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]; Hadad [mighty] [being] yet a little child.
18And they arose out of Midyan [Strife], and came to Pa’ran [place of caverns]: and they took men with them out of Pa’ran [place of caverns], and they came to Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], unto Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House] king of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals (food for humans), and gave him land.
19And Hadad [mighty] found great favour in the sight of Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House], so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tachp’neis [wife of the king] the queen.
20And the sister of Tachp’neis [wife of the king] bore him G’nuvat [theft] his son, whom Tachp’neis [wife of the king] weaned in Par’oh’s [Pharaoh - Great House] house: and G’nuvat [theft] was in Par’oh’s [Pharaoh - Great House] household among the sons of Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House].
21And when Hadad [mighty] heard in Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] that David [beloved] slept with his fathers, and that Yo’av [Yehovah is father] the captain of the host was dead, Hadad [mighty] said to Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House], Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.
22Then Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House] said unto him, But what have youi lacked with me, that, behold, youi seek to go to youri own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise.
23And God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] stirred him up [another] adversary, Rezon [prince] the son of Elyada [God knows], which fled from his lord Hadad’ezer [mighty - meaning disputed] king of Tzovah [station]:
24And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David [beloved] killed them [of Tzovah [station]]: and they went to Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver], and dwelt in it, and reigned in Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver].
25And he was an adversary to Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] all the days of Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], beside the mischief that Hadad [mighty] [did]: and he abhorred Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and reigned over Aram (Syria) [exalted].
26And Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect], an Efrat [ashiness: fruitfulness] of Zereda, Shlomo’s (Solomon) [peace] servant, whose mother’s name [was] Tz’ru’ah [full breasted], a widow woman, even he lifted up [his] hand against the king.
27And this [was] the cause that he lifted up [his] hand against the king: Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] built Millo [fortification (defensive structure) or mound], [and] repaired the breaches of the city of David [beloved] his father.
28And the man Yarov’am [the people will contend] [was] a mighty man of valour: and Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add].
29And it came to pass at that time when Yarov’am [the people will contend] went out of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], that the prophet Achiyah [brother of Yehovah] the Shiloni [peace bringer] [place of rest] found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two [were] alone in the field:
30And Achiyah [brother of Yehovah] caught the new garment that [was] on him, and rent it [in] twelve pieces:
31And he said to Yarov’am [the people will contend], Take youi ten pieces: for thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Behold, I will rend (tear apart; forcefully rip apart) the kingdom out of the hand of Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], and will give ten tribes to youi:
32(But he shall have one tribe for my servant David’s [beloved]’s sake, and for Yerushalayim’s [Foundation of Peace] sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God])
33Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped ‘Ashtoret [star] the goddess of the people of Tzidon [Hunting], K’mosh [Subduer] the god of the Mo’avi [of his father], and Milkom [great king] the god of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], and have not walked in my ways, to do [that which is] right in my eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my judgments, as [did] David [beloved] his father.
34However 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 [beloved] my servant’s sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:
35But I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it unto youi, [even] ten tribes.
36And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David [beloved] my servant may have a light always before me in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
37And I will take youi, and youi shall reign according to all that youri soul desires, and shall be king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
38And it shall be, if youi will hearken unto all that I command youi, and will walk in my ways, and do [that is] right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David [beloved] my servant did; that I will be with youi, and build youi a sure house, as I built for David [beloved], and will give Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] unto youi.
39And I will for this afflict the seed of David [beloved], but not forever.
40Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] sought therefore to kill Yarov’am [the people will contend]. And Yarov’am [the people will contend] arose, and fled into Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], unto Shishak [greedy of fine linen] king of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and was in Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] until the death of Shlomo (Solomon) [peace].
41And the rest of the acts of Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], and all that he did, and his wisdom, [are] they not written in the book of the acts of Shlomo (Solomon) [peace]?
42And the time that Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] reigned in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [was] forty years.
43And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David [beloved] his father: and Rechav’am [a people has enlarged] his son reigned in his stead.
