Berean Standard Bible
1Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἦν φιλογύνης. Καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ γυναῖκες ἄρχουσαι ἑπτακόσιαι, καὶ παλλακαὶ τριακόσιαι. Καὶ ἔλαβε γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας, καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραὼ, Μωαβίτιδας, Ἀμμανίτιδας, Σύρας, καὶ Ἰδουμαίας, Χετταίας, καὶ Ἀμοῤῥαίας,
1King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh—women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and Sidon, as well as Hittite women.
2ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἀπεῖπε Κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, οὐκ εἰσελεύσεσθε εἰς αὐτοὺς, καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς ὑμᾶς, μὴ ἐκκλίνωσι τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὀπίσω εἰδώλων αὐτῶν· εἰς αὐτοὺς ἐκολλήθη Σαλωμὼν τοῦ ἀγαπῆσαι.
2These women were from the nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, for surely they will turn your hearts after their gods.” Yet Solomon clung to these women in love.
no verse 3 in this text
3He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines—and his wives turned his heart away.
4Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν καιρῷ γήρους Σαλωμὼν, καὶ οὖκ ἦν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ τελεία μετὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, καθὼς ἡ καρδία Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἐξέκλιναν γυναῖκες αἱ ἀλλότριαι τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ὀπίσω θεῶν αὐτῶν.
4For when Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God, as his father David had been.
5Τότε ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν ὑψηλὸν τῷ Χαμὼς εἰδώλῳ Μωὰβ, καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῶν εἰδώλῳ υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν,
5Solomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6καὶ τῇ Ἀστάρτῃ βδελύγματι Σιδωνίων.
6So Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD; unlike his father David, he did not follow the LORD completely.
7Καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησε πάσαις ταῖς γυναιξὶν αὐτοῦ ταῖς ἀλλοτρίαις, αἳ ἐθυμίων καὶ ἔθυον τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν,
7At that time on a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites.
8καὶ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω Κυρίου, ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
8He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9Καὶ ὠργίσθη Κύριος ἐπὶ Σαλωμὼν, ὅτι ἐξέκλινε καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, τοῦ ὀφθέντος αὐτῷ δὶς,
9Now the LORD grew angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.
10καὶ ἐντειλαμένου αὐτῷ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λόγου τούτου, τὸ παράπαν μὴ πορευθῆναι ὀπίσω θεῶν ἑτέρων, καὶ φυλάξασθαι ποιῆσαι ἃ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Κύριος ὁ Θεός· οὐδʼ ἦν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ τελεία μετὰ Κυρίου, κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
10Although He had warned Solomon explicitly not to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD’s command.
11Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαλωμὼν, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐγένετο ταῦτα μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐφύλαξας τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου ἃ ἐνετειλάμην σοι, διαῤῥήσσων διαῤῥήξω τὴν βασιλείαν σου ἐκ χειρός σου, καὶ δώσω αὐτὴν τῷ δούλῳ σου.
11Then the LORD said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.
12Πλὴν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις σου οὐ ποιήσω αὐτὰ διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν πατέρα σου· ἐκ χειρὸς υἱοῦ σου λήψομαι αὐτήν.
12Nevertheless, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it during your lifetime; I will tear it out of the hand of your son.
13Πλὴν ὅλην τὴν βασιλείαν οὐ μὴ λάβω· σκῆπτρον ἓν δώσω τῷ υἱῷ σου διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου, καὶ διὰ Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὴν πόλιν ἣν ἐξελεξάμην.
13Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom away from him. I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”
14Καὶ ἤγειρε Κύριος σατὰν τῷ Σαλωμὼν τὸν Ἄδερ τὸν Ἰδουμαῖον, καὶ τὸν Ἐσρὼμ υἱὸν Ἐλιαδαὲ τὸν ἐν Ρααμὰ, Ἀδαδέζερ βασιλέα Σουβὰ κύριον αὐτοῦ· καὶ συνηθροίσθησαν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἄνδρες, καὶ ἦν ἄρχων συστρέμματος, καὶ προκατελάβετο τὴν Δαμασέκ· καὶ ἦσαν σατὰν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Σαλωμών· καὶ Ἄδερ ὁ Ἰδουμαῖος ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος τῆς βασιλείας ἐν Ἰδουμαίᾳ.
14Then the LORD raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom.
15Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι Δαυὶδ τὸν Ἐδὼμ ἐν τῷ πορευθῆναι Ἰωὰβ ἄρχοντα τῆς στρατιᾶς θάπτειν τοὺς τραυματίας, καὶ ἔκοψαν πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐν τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ·
15Earlier, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the army had gone to bury the dead and had struck down every male in Edom.
16ὅτι ἓξ μῆνας ἐνεκάθητο ἐκεῖ Ἰωὰβ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ, ἕως ὅτου ἐξωλόθρευσε πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐν τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ·
16Joab and all Israel had stayed there six months, until he had killed every male in Edom.
17Καὶ ἀπέδρα Ἄδερ αὐτὸς καὶ πάντες ἄνδρες Ἰδουμαῖοι τῶν παίδων τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον· καὶ Ἄδερ παιδάριον μικρόν.
17But Hadad, still just a young boy, had fled to Egypt, along with some Edomites who were servants of his father.
18Καὶ ἀνίστανται ἄνδρες ἐκ τῆς πόλεως Μαδιὰμ, καὶ ἄρχονται εἰς Φαρὰν, καὶ λαμβάνουσιν ἄνδρας μεθʼ αὑτῶν, καὶ ἔρχονται πρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου· καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἄδερ πρὸς Φαραὼ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ οἶκον, καὶ ἄρτους διέταξεν αὐτῷ.
18Hadad and his men set out from Midian and went to Paran. They took men from Paran with them and went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.
19Καὶ εὗρεν Ἄδερ χάριν ἐναντίον Φαραὼ σφόδρα, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα ἀδελφὴν τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, ἀδελφὴν Θεκεμίνας μείζω. Καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ ἡ ἀδελφὴ Θεκεμίνας τῷ Ἄδερ τὸν Γανηβὰθ υἱὸν αὐτῆς·
19There Hadad found such great favor in the sight of Pharaoh that he gave to him in marriage the sister of Queen Tahpenes, his own wife.
20καὶ ἐξέθρεψεν αὐτὸν Θεκεμίνα ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν Φαραώ· καὶ ἦν Γανηβὰθ ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν Φαραώ.
20And the sister of Tahpenes bore Hadad a son named Genubath. Tahpenes herself weaned him in Pharaoh’s palace, and Genubath lived there among the sons of Pharaoh.
21Καὶ Ἄδερ ἤκουσεν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ὅτι κεκοίμηται Δαυὶδ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅτι τέθνηκεν Ἰωὰβ ὁ ἄρχων τῆς στρατιᾶς, καὶ εἶπεν Ἄδερ πρὸς Φαραὼ, ἐξαπόστειλόν με, καὶ ἀποστρέψω εἰς τὴν γῆν μου.
21When Hadad heard in Egypt that David had rested with his fathers and that Joab, the commander of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.”
22Καὶ εἶπε Φαραὼ τῷ Ἄδερ, τίνι σὺ ἐλαττονῇ μετʼ ἐμοῦ; καὶ ἰδοὺ σὺ ζητεῖς ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν γῆν σου; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἄδερ, ὅτι ἐξαποστέλλων ἐξαποστελεῖς με· καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν Ἄδερ εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ·
22But Pharaoh asked him, “What have you lacked here with me that you suddenly want to go back to your own country?” “Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but please let me go.”

23And God raised up against Solomon another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah,
no verse 24 in this text
24and had gathered men to himself. When David killed the Zobaites, Rezon captained a band of raiders and went to Damascus, where they settled and gained control.
25αὕτη ἡ κακία ἣν ἐποίησεν Ἄδερ· καὶ ἐβαρυθύμησεν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν τῇ Ἐδώμ.
25Rezon was Israel’s enemy throughout the days of Solomon, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled over Aram with hostility toward Israel.
26Καὶ Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ναβὰτ ὁ Ἐφραθὶ ἐκ τῆς Σαριρὰ, υἱὸς γυναικὸς χήρας, δοῦλος Σαλωμών.
26Now Jeroboam son of Nebat was an Ephraimite from Zeredah whose mother was a widow named Zeruah. Jeroboam was a servant of Solomon, but he rebelled against the king,
27Καὶ τοῦτο τὸ πρᾶγμα ὡς ἐπῇρατο χεῖρας ἐπὶ βασιλέα Σαλωμών· καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν ἄκραν, συνέκλεισε τὸν φραγμὸν τῆς πόλεως Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
27and this is the account of his rebellion against the king. Solomon had built the supporting terraces and repaired the gap in the wall of the city of his father David.
28Καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος Ἱεροβοὰμ ἰσχυρὸς δυνάμει· καὶ εἶδε Σαλωμὼν τὸ παιδάριον ὅτι ἀνὴρ ἔργων ἐστὶ, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰς ἄρσεις οἴκου Ἰωσήφ.
28Now Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. So when Solomon noticed that the young man was industrious, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the house of Joseph.
29Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, καὶ Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ εὗρεν αὐτὸν Ἀχιὰ ὁ Σηλωνίτης ὁ προφήτης ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ· καὶ Ἀχιὰ περιβεβλημένος ἱματίῳ καινῷ, καὶ ἀμφότεροι μόνοι ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ.
29During that time, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was going out of Jerusalem. Now Ahijah had wrapped himself in a new cloak, and the two of them were alone in the open field.
30Καὶ ἐπελάβετο Ἀχιὰ τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ τοῦ καινοῦ τοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, καὶ διέῤῥηξεν αὐτὸ δώδεκα ῥήγματα,
30And Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing, tore it into twelve pieces,
31καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἱεροβοὰμ, λάβε σεαυτῷ δέκα ῥήγματα, ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ῥήσσω τὴν βασιλείαν ἐκ χειρὸς Σαλωμὼν, καὶ δώσω σοι δέκα σκῆπτρα.
31and said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give you ten tribes.
32Καὶ δύο σκῆπτρα ἔσονται αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν δοῦλόν μου Δαυὶδ, καὶ διὰ Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὴν πόλιν ἣν ἐξελεξάμην ἐν αὐτῇ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν Ἰσραήλ.
32But one tribe will remain for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
33Ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπέ με, καὶ ἐποίησε τῇ Ἀστάρτῃ βδελύγματι Σιδωνίων, καὶ τῷ Χαμὼς, καὶ τοῖς εἰδώλοις Μωὰβ, καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῶν προσοχθίσματι υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν, καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
33For they have forsaken Me to worship Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites. They have not walked in My ways, nor done what is right in My eyes, nor kept My statutes and judgments, as Solomon’s father David did.
34Καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβω τὴν βασιλείαν ὅλην ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, διότι ἀντιτασσόμενος ἀντιτάξομαι αὐτῳ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ, διὰ τὸν Δαυὶδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου ὃν ἐξελεξάμην αὐτόν.
34Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David My servant, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and statutes.
35Καὶ λήψομαι τὴν βασιλείαν ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ δώσω σοι τὰ δέκα σκῆπτρα.
35But I will take ten tribes of the kingdom from the hand of his son and give them to you.
36Τῷ δὲ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ δώσω τὰ δύο σκῆπτρα, ὅπως ᾖ θέσις τῷ δούλῳ μου Δαυὶδ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τῇ πόλει, ἣν ἐξελεξάμην ἐμαυτῷ τοῦ θέσθαι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ.
36I will give one tribe to his son, so that My servant David will always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put My Name.
37Καὶ σὲ λήψομαι, καὶ βασιλεύσεις ἐν οἷς ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχή σου, καὶ σὺ ἔσῃ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
37But as for you, I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your heart desires, and you will be king over Israel.
38Καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν φυλάξῃς πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐντείλωμαί σοι, καὶ πορευθῇς ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου, καὶ ποιήσῃς τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὰ προστάγματά μου καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς μου, καθὼς ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ ὁ δοῦλός μου, καὶ ἔσομαι μετὰ σοῦ καὶ οἰκοδομήσω σοι οἶκον πιστὸν, καθὼς ᾠκοδόμησα τῷ Δαυίδ.
38If you listen to all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight in order to keep My statutes and commandments as My servant David did, then I will be with you. I will build you a lasting dynasty just as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.
no verse 39 in this text
39Because of this, I will humble David’s descendants—but not forever.’”
40Καὶ ἐζήτησε Σαλωμὼν θανατῶσαι τὸν Ἱεροβοάμ· καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀπέδρα εἰς Αἴγυπτον πρὸς Σουσακὶμ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἦν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἕως οὗ ἀπέθανε Σαλωμών.
40Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, where he remained until the death of Solomon.
41Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Σαλωμὼν, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησε, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν φρόνησιν αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ ῥημάτων Σαλωμών;
41As for the rest of the acts of Solomon—all that he did, as well as his wisdom—are they not written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon?
42Καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι ἃς ἐβασίλευε Σαλωμὼν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη.
42Thus the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
43Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Σαλωμὼν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ναβὰτ, καὶ αὐτοῦ ἔτι ὄντος ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ὡς ἔφυγεν ἐκ προσώπου Σαλωμὼν καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, κατευθύνει καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν Σαριρὰ τὴν ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραίμ. Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Ῥοβοὰμ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
43And Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David. And his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
