1KI-9:1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the

building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all

Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do, <all> <building>

1KI-9:2 That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he

had appeared unto him at Gibeon. <appeared> <gibeon> <had> <him>

1KI-9:3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and

thy supplication, that thou hast made before me:I have hallowed

this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever;

and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

1KI-9:4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father

walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do

according to all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my

statutes and my judgments:<all> <before> <commanded> <david>

1KI-9:5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon

Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying,

There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

1KI-9:6 [But] if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or

your children, and will not keep my commandments [and] my

statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other

gods, and worship them:<all> <before> <children> <commandments>

1KI-9:7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have

given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name,

will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a

byword among all people:<all> <among> <byword> <cast> <cut>

1KI-9:8 And at this house, [which] is high, every one that

passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they

shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to

this house? <astonished> <done> <every> <hath> <high> <hiss>

1KI-9:9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD

their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of

Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped

them, and served them:therefore hath the LORD brought upon them

all this evil. <all> <answer> <because> <brought> <egypt> <evil>

1KI-9:10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when

Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the

king's house, <built> <came> <end> <had> <house> <houses> <lord>

1KI-9:11 ([Now] Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon

with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all

his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in

the land of Galilee. <all> <cedar> <cities> <fir> <furnished>

1KI-9:12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which

Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not. <came> <cities>

<which>

1KI-9:13 And he said, What cities [are] these which thou hast

given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto

this day. <brother> <cabul> <called> <cities> <day> <given>

1KI-9:14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

1KI-9:15 And this [is] the reason of the levy which king Solomon

raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house,

and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo,

and Gezer. <build> <gezer> <hazor> <house> <jerusalem> <king>

1KI-9:16 [For] Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken

Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that

dwelt in the city, and given it [for] a present unto his

daughter, Solomon's wife. <burnt> <canaanites> <city> <daughter>

1KI-9:17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,

1KI-9:18 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,

1KI-9:19 And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and

cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that

which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and

in all the land of his dominion. <all> <build> <chariots>

1KI-9:20 [And] all the people [that were] left of the Amorites,

Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which [were] not

of the children of Israel, <all> <amorites> <children>

<which>

1KI-9:21 Their children that were left after them in the land,

whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to

destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice

unto this day. <after> <also> <bondservice> <children> <day>

1KI-9:22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no

bondmen:but they [were] men of war, and his servants, and his

princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his

horsemen. <bondmen> <captains> <chariots> <children> <did>

1KI-9:23 These [were] the chief of the officers that [were] over

Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the

people that wrought in the work. <bare> <chief> <fifty> <five>

1KI-9:24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David

unto her house which [Solomon] had built for her:then did he

build Millo. <build> <built> <came> <city> <daughter> <david>

1KI-9:25 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt

offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto

the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that [was] before

the LORD. So he finished the house. <altar> <before> <built>

1KI-9:26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber,

which [is] beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the

land of Edom. <beside> <edom> <eloth> <eziongeber> <king> <land>

1KI-9:27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that

had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. <had>

1KI-9:28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold,

four hundred and twenty talents, and brought [it] to king

Solomon. <brought> <came> <fetched> <four> <gold> <hundred>

1KI-10:1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of

Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him

with hard questions. <came> <concerning> <fame> <hard> <heard>

1KI-10:2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with

camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones:

and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all

that was in her heart. <all> <bare> <came> <camels> <come>

1KI-10:3 And Solomon told her all her questions:there was not

[any] thing hid from the king, which he told her not. <all>

1KI-10:4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's

wisdom, and the house that he had built, <all> <had> <house>

1KI-10:5 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his

servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel,

and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the

house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her. <apparel>

1KI-10:6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I

heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom. <heard>

1KI-10:7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and

mine eyes had seen [it]:and, behold, the half was not told me:

thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

1KI-10:8 Happy [are] thy men, happy [are] these thy servants,

which stand continually before thee, [and] that hear thy wisdom.

1KI-10:9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee,

to set thee on the throne of Israel:because the LORD loved

Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and

justice. <because> <blessed> <delighted> <do> <ever> <god>

1KI-10:10 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of

gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones:there

came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen

of Sheba gave to king Solomon. <came> <gave> <gold> <great>

1KI-10:11 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from

Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and

precious stones. <almug> <also> <brought> <gold> <great> <hiram>

1KI-10:12 And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the

house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and

psalteries for singers:there came no such almug trees, nor were

seen unto this day. <almug> <also> <came> <day> <harps> <house>

1KI-10:13 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her

desire, whatsoever she asked, beside [that] which Solomon gave

her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own

country, she and her servants. <all> <asked> <beside> <bounty>

1KI-10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one

year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold, <came>

1KI-10:15 Beside [that he had] of the merchantmen, and of the

traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia,

and of the governors of the country. <all> <arabia> <beside>

1KI-10:16 And king Solomon made two hundred targets [of] beaten

gold:six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one target. <beaten>

1KI-10:17 And [he made] three hundred shields [of] beaten gold;

three pound of gold went to one shield:and the king put them in

the house of the forest of Lebanon. <beaten> <forest> <gold>

1KI-10:18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and

overlaid it with the best gold. <best> <gold> <great> <ivory>

1KI-10:19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne

[was] round behind:and [there were] stays on either side on the

place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.

1KI-10:20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on

the other upon the six steps:there was not the like made in any

kingdom. <any> <kingdom> <like> <lions> <made> <on> <one>

1KI-10:21 And all king Solomon's drinking vessels [were of] gold,

and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [were

of] pure gold; none [were of] silver:it was nothing accounted of

in the days of Solomon. <all> <days> <drinking> <forest> <gold>

1KI-10:22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the

navy of Hiram:once in three years came the navy of Tharshish,

bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. <apes>

<years>

1KI-10:23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth

for riches and for wisdom. <all> <earth> <exceeded> <king>

1KI-10:24 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his

wisdom, which God had put in his heart. <all> <earth> <god>

1KI-10:25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of

silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and

spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. <armour>

1KI-10:26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen:

and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve

thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots,

and with the king at Jerusalem. <bestowed> <chariots> <cities>

1KI-10:27 And the king made silver [to be] in Jerusalem as

stones, and cedars made he [to be] as the sycamore trees that

[are] in the vale, for abundance. <cedars> <jerusalem> <king>

1KI-10:28 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen

yarn:the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

1KI-10:29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six

hundred [shekels] of silver, and an horse for an hundred and

fifty:and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the

kings of Syria, did they bring [them] out by their means. <all>

<went>

1KI-11:1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together

with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites,

Edomites, Zidonians, [and] Hittites; <ammonites> <daughter>

1KI-11:2 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.

1KI-11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three

hundred concubines:and his wives turned away his heart. <away>

1KI-11:4 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. <after> <away> <came> <david> <father> <god> <gods>

1KI-11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the

Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

1KI-11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went

not fully after the LORD, as [did] David his father. <after>

<went>

1KI-11:7 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. <ammon>

1KI-11:8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which

burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. <all> <burnt>

<wives>

1KI-11:9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart

was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto

him twice, <angry> <appeared> <because> <god> <had> <heart>

1KI-11:10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he

should not go after other gods:but he kept not that which the

LORD commanded. <after> <commanded> <concerning> <go> <gods>

1KI-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. <commanded>

1KI-11:12 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. <david> <days> <do> <hand> <notwithstanding> <rend> <sake>

1KI-11:13 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. <all> <away> <chosen>

1KI-11:14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon,

Hadad the Edomite:he [was] of the king's seed in Edom.

1KI-11:15 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; <after> <bury> <came> <captain>

1KI-11:16 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel,

until he had cut off every male in Edom:) <all> <cut> <did>

1KI-11:17 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his

father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad [being] yet

a little child. <certain> <child> <edomites> <egypt> <fled> <go>

1KI-11:18 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. <appointed> <arose>

1KI-11:19 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. <favour> <found> <gave> <great>

1KI-11:20 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. <among> <bare>

1KI-11:21 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. <captain> <country> <david> <dead> <depart> <egypt>

1KI-11:22 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.

1KI-11:23 And God stirred him up [another] adversary, Rezon the

son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:

1KI-11:24 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. <band>

1KI-11:25 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. <adversary> <all> <beside>

<syria>

1KI-11:26 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. <against>

1KI-11:27 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. <against> <breaches>

1KI-11:28 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. <all>

1KI-11:29 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:<ahijah> <alone> <came>

1KI-11:30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that [was] on him,

and rent it [in] twelve pieces:<ahijah> <caught> <garment> <him>

1KI-11:31 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:<behold> <give> <god> <hand> <israel> <jeroboam> <kingdom>

1KI-11:32 (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:) <all> <chosen> <city> <have> <one>

1KI-11:33 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. <ammon> <ashtoreth> <because> <chemosh>

1KI-11:34 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:<all> <because> <chose>

<will>

1KI-11:35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and

will give it unto thee, [even] ten tribes. <give> <hand>

1KI-11:36 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. <alway> <before>

1KI-11:37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according

to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.

<will>

1KI-11:38 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.

1KI-11:39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not

for ever. <afflict> <david> <ever> <seed> <this> <will>

1KI-11:40 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. <arose> <death>

1KI-11:41 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? <all> <book> <did> <rest> <solomon> <wisdom>

1KI-11:42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over

all Israel [was] forty years. <all> <forty> <israel> <jerusalem>

1KI-11:43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in

the city of David his father:and Rehoboam his son reigned in his

stead. <buried> <city> <david> <father> <fathers> <rehoboam>

1KI-12:1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem:for all Israel were come

to Shechem to make him king. <all> <come> <him> <israel> <king>

1KI-12:2 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;) <came>

1KI-12:3 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the

congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,

1KI-12:4 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. <father>

1KI-12:5 And he said unto them, Depart yet [for] three days,

then come again to me. And the people departed. <again> <come>

1KI-12:6 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? <advise>

1KI-12:7 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. <answer> <day> <ever> <good> <him> <people>

1KI-12:8 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:<before> <consulted>

1KI-12:9 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? <answer> <counsel>

1KI-12:10 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.

1KI-12:11 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. <chastise>

1KI-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. <again> <all> <appointed> <came> <come> <day>

1KI-12:13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook

the old men's counsel that they gave him; <answered> <counsel>

1KI-12:14 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. <after> <chastise> <chastised>

1KI-12:15 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. <ahijah> <cause> <hearkened> <jeroboam> <king>

1KI-12:16 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. <all> <answered> <david>

1KI-12:17 But [as for] the children of Israel which dwelt in the

cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. <children> <cities>

1KI-12:18 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. <all> <chariot> <died> <flee> <get> <him>

<with>

1KI-12:19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto

this day. <against> <david> <day> <house> <israel> <rebelled>

1KI-12:20 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.

<when>

1KI-12:21 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. <again> <against> <all> <assembled>

1KI-12:22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God,

saying, <came> <god> <man> <shemaiah> <word>

1KI-12:23 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, <all> <benjamin> <house> <judah>

1KI-12:24 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. <against> <brethren> <children> <depart>

1KI-12:25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and

dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.

1KI-12:26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom

return to the house of David:<heart> <house> <jeroboam>

1KI-12:27 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.

<turn>

1KI-12:28 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. <behold> <brought> <calves> <counsel>

1KI-12:29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in

Dan. <bethel> <dan> <one> <other> <put> <set>

1KI-12:30 And this thing became a sin:for the people went [to

worship] before the one, [even] unto Dan. <became> <before>
