horsemen: and he had a thousand four hundred mirkavot,
and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the
cities for mirkavot, and with the melech at
Yahrushalayim.
27 And the melech made silver as common in
Yahrushalayim as stones, and cedars to be as plenty as the
sycamore eytzim that are on the plain.
28 And Shlomo had horses brought out of Mitzrayim, and
the melech’s merchants received a commission on the
items they bought.
29 And a mirkavah came up and went out of Mitzrayim
for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a
hundred fifty: and so for all the melechim of the Hittites,
and for the melechim of Aram, did they bring them out by
their own trading.
11
But melech Shlomo loved many strange 894 women,
together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the
Moavites, Ammonites, Edomites, Tzidonians, and
Hittites;
2 Of the nations concerning which vuvh said to the
children of Yisrael, You shall not go in to them, neither
shall they come in to you: for surely they will turn away
your lev after their elohim: Shlomo clung to these in
ahava.
3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three
hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his lev.
4 For it came to pass, when Shlomo was old, that his
wives turned away his lev after other elohim: and his lev
was not perfect with vuvh his Elohim, as was the lev of
Dawid his abba.
5 For Shlomo went after Ashtoreth the mighty one of the
Tzidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the
Ammonites.
6 And Shlomo did evil in the sight of vuvh, and did not
follow after vuvh fully, as did Dawid his abba.
7 Then Shlomo built a high place for Chemosh, the
abomination of Moav, in the hill that is before
Yahrushalayim, and for Molech, the abomination of the
children of Ammon.
8 And likewise he did for all his strange wives, who
burned incense and sacrificed to their elohim.
9 And vuvh was angry with Shlomo, because his lev was
turned from vuvh Elohim of Yisrael, who had appeared to
him twice,
10 And had commanded him concerning this thing; that
he should not go after other elohim: but he kept not that
which vuvh commanded.
11 And vuvh said to Shlomo, Seeing that this is done by
you, and you have not kept My brit and My chukim, which
I have commanded you, I will surely tear the malchut
from you, and will give it to your eved. 895
12 Nevertheless, in your days I will not do it for Dawid
your abba's sake: but I will tear it out of the hand of your
son. 896
13 However I will not tear away all the malchut; but will
give one tribe to your son for Dawid My eved's sake, and
for Yahrushalayim's sake which I have chosen. 897
14 And vuvh stirred up an adversary to Shlomo, Hadad
the Edomite: he was of the melech's zera in Edom. 898
15 For it came to pass, when Dawid was in Edom, and
Yoav the captain of the army had gone up to bury the
dead, after he had smitten every male in Edom that,
MELECHIM ALEPH - FIRST KINGS
- 238 -
16 For six months Yoav remained there with kol Yisrael,
until he had cut off every male in Edom:
17 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his abba's
avadim with him, to go into Mitzrayim; Hadad being yet
a little child.
18 And they arose out of Midyan, and came to Paran: and
they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to
Mitzrayim, to Pharaoh melech of Mitzrayim; who gave
him a bayit, and appointed him food, and gave him land.
19 And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh,
so that he gave him as a wife the sister of his own wife,
the sister of Tahpenes the malqa.
20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genuvath his son,
whom Tahpenes nursed in Pharaoh's bayit: and Genuvath
was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.
21 And when Hadad heard in Mitzrayim that Dawid slept
with his ahvot, and that Yoav the captain of the army was
dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go
to my own country.
22 Then Pharaoh said to him, But what have you lacked
with me, that, see, you seek to go to your own country?
And he answered, Nothing: but let me go anyway.
23 And Elohim stirred up another adversary, Rezon the
son of El-Yadah, who fled from his master Hadadezer
melech of Tzovah:
24 And he gathered men to him, and became captain over
a band, when Dawid killed them of Tzovah: and they
went to Dameshek, and dwelt there, and reigned in
Dameshek.
25 And he was an adversary to Yisrael all the days of
Shlomo, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he
abhorred Yisrael, and reigned over Aram.
26 And Yahravam 899 the son of Nevat, an Ephrathite
from Efrayim of Tzereda, Shlomo's eved, whose eema's
name was Tzeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his
hand against the melech.
27 And this was the reason that he lifted up his hand
against the melech: Shlomo built Millo, and repaired the
breaches of the city of Dawid his abba.
28 And the man Yahravam was a mighty man of valor:
and Shlomo seeing the young man that he was
industrious, made him ruler over all the compulsory labor
of Beit Yoseph. 900
29 And it came to pass at that time when Yahravam went
out of Yahrushalayim, that the navi Achiyah the Shilonite
met him on the way; and he had prepared himself with a
new garment; and the two were alone in the field:
30 And Achiyah grabbed the new garment that was on
him, and tore it into twelve pieces: 901
31 And he said to Yahravam, Take for yourself ten
pieces: for this says vuvh, the Elohim of Yisrael, See, I
will tear the malchut out of the hand of Shlomo, and will
give ten tribes to you: 902
32 But he shall have one tribe for My eved Dawid's sake,
and for Yahrushalayim's sake, the city which I have
chosen out of all the tribes of Yisrael: 903
33 Because they have forsaken Me, and have worshipped
Ashtoreth the false elohim of the Tzidonians, Chemosh the
elohim of the Moavites, and Milcom the elohim of the
children of Ammon, and have not kept their halacha in
My halachot, to do that which is right in My eyes, and to
keep My chukim and My mishpatim, as did Dawid his
abba.
