Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites,
1ΚΑΙ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἦν φιλογύνης. καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ γυναῖκες ἄρχουσαι ἑπτακόσιαι καὶ παλλακαὶ τριακόσιαι. καὶ ἔλαβε γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραώ, Μωαβίτιδας, Ἀμμανίτιδας, Σύρας καὶ Ἰδουμαίας, Χετταίας καὶ Ἀμορραίας,
2of the nations concerning which the LORD said to the children of Israel, “You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon joined to these in love.
2ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἀπεῖπε Κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ· οὐκ εἰσελεύσεσθε εἰς αὐτούς, καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς ὑμᾶς, μὴ ἐκκλίνωσι τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὀπίσω εἰδώλων αὐτῶν· εἰς αὐτοὺς ἐκολλήθη Σαλωμὼν τοῦ ἀγαπῆσαι
3He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. His wives turned his heart away.
3[Καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ γυναῖκες ἄρχουσαι ἑπτακόσιαι καὶ παλλακαὶ τριακόσιαι καὶ ἐξέκλιναν γυναῖκες αὐτοῦ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ.]
4When Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father was.
4καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν καιρῷ γήρους Σαλωμὼν καὶ οὐκ 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.
5For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
5τότε ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν ὑψηλὸν τῷ Χαμώς, εἰδώλῳ Μωὰβ καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῶν εἰδώλῳ υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν
6Solomon did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and didn’t go fully after the LORD, as David his father did.
6καὶ τῇ Ἀστάρτῃ βδελύγματι Σιδωνίων,
7Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
7καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησε πάσαις ταῖς γυναιξὶν αὐτοῦ ταῖς ἀλλοτρίαις, αἳ ἐθυμίων καὶ ἔθυον τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν.
8So he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
8καὶ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω Κυρίου ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
9The LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
9καὶ ὠργίσθη Κύριος ἐπὶ Σαλωμών, ὅτι ἐξέκλινε καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ὀφθέντος αὐτῷ δὶς
10and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he didn’t keep that which the LORD commanded.
10καὶ ἐντειλαμένου αὐτῷ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λόγου τούτου, τὸ παράπαν μὴ πορευθῆναι ὀπίσω θεῶν ἑτέρων καὶ φυλάξασθαι ποιῆσαι, ἃ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Κύριος ὁ Θεός, οὐδ᾿ ἦν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ τελεία μετὰ Κυρίου κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
11Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, “Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.
11καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαλωμών· ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἐγένετο ταῦτα μετὰ σοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐφύλαξας τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου, ἃ ἐνετειλάμην σοι, διαρρήσσων διαρρήξω τὴν βασιλείαν σου ἐκ χειρός σου καὶ δώσω αὐτὴν τῷ δούλῳ σου.
12Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days, for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it out of your son’s hand.
12πλὴν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις σου οὐ ποιήσω αὐτὰ διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν πατέρα σου· ἐκ χειρὸς υἱοῦ σου λήψομαι αὐτήν.
13However, I will not tear away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to your son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.”
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.
14The LORD raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite. He was one of the king’s offspring in Edom.
14Καὶ ἤγειρε Κύριος σατὰν τῷ Σαλωμὼν τὸν Ἄδερ τὸν Ἰδουμαῖον καὶ τὸν Ἐσρὼμ υἱὸν Ἐλιαδαέ, τὸν ἐν Ραεμμὰθ Ἀδραζὰρ βασιλέα Σουβὰ κύριον αὐτοῦ· καὶ συνηθροίσθησαν ἐπ᾿ 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·
15For when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in 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 16 ὅτι ἓξ μῆνας ἐνεκάθητο ἐκεῖ Ἰωὰβ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ, ἕως ὅτου ἐξωλόθρευσε πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐν τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ
16(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom),

17Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, when Hadad was still a little child.
17καὶ ἀπέδρα Ἄδερ, αὐτὸς καὶ πάντες ἄνδρες Ἰδουμαῖοι τῶν παίδων τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον· καὶ Ἄδερ παιδάριον μικρόν.
18They arose out of Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him food, and gave him land.
18καὶ ἀνίστανται ἄνδρες ἐκ τῆς πόλεως Μαδιὰμ καὶ ἔρχονται εἰς Φαρὰν καὶ λαμβάνουσιν ἄνδρας μεθ᾿ ἑαυτῶν καὶ ἔρχονται πρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἄδερ πρὸς Φαραώ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ οἶκον καὶ ἄρτους διέταξεν αὐτῷ.
19Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
19καὶ εὗρεν Ἄδερ χάριν ἐναντίον Φαραὼ σφόδρα, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα ἀδελφὴν τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, ἀδελφὴν Θεκεμίνας τὴν μείζω.
20The sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh.
20καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ ἡ ἀδελφὴ Θεκεμίνας τῷ Ἄδερ τὸν Γανηβὰθ υἱὸν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξέθρεψεν αὐτὸν Θεκεμίνα ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν Φαραώ, καὶ ἦν Γανηβὰθ ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν Φαραώ.
21When Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.”
21καὶ Ἄδερ ἤκουσεν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ὅτι κεκοίμηται Δαυὶδ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅτι τέθνηκεν Ἰωὰβ ὁ ἄρχων τῆς στρατιᾶς· καὶ εἶπεν Ἄδερ πρὸς Φαραώ· ἐξαπόστειλόν με καὶ ἀποστρέψω εἰς τὴν γῆν μου.
22Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you seek to go to your own country?” He answered, “Nothing, however only let me depart.”
22καὶ εἶπε Φαραὼ τῷ Ἄδερ· τίνι σὺ ἐλαττονῇ μετ᾿ 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. αὕτη ἡ κακία, ἣν ἐποίησεν Ἄδερ· καὶ ἐβαρυθύμησεν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν γῇ Ἐδώμ
23God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadadezer king of Zobah.
23[Καὶ ἤγειρε Κύριος σατὰν τῷ Σαλωμὼν τὸν Ραζὼν υἱὸν Ἐλιαδαὲ τὸν Βαραμεὲθ Ἀδαδεζὲρ βασιλέα Σουβὰ κύριον αὐτοῦ.
24He gathered men to himself, and became captain over a troop, when David killed them of Zobah. They went to Damascus and lived there, and reigned in Damascus.
24καὶ συνηθροίσθησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἄνδρες καὶ ἦν ἄρχων συστρέμματος ἐν τῷ ἀποκτείνειν Δαυὶδ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς Δαμασκὸν καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Δαμασκῷ
25He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, in addition to the mischief of Hadad. He abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
25καὶ ἐγένετο ἀντικείμενος τῷ Ἰσραὴλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Σαλωμών.]
26Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king.
26Καὶ Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ναβὰτ ὁ Ἐφραθὶ ἐκ τῆς Σαριρὰ υἱὸς γυναικὸς χήρας δοῦλος Σαλωμών.
27This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of his father David’s city.
27καὶ τοῦτο τὸ πρᾶγμα ὡς ἐπῃ£ρατο χεῖρας ἐπὶ βασιλέα Σαλωμών. καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν ἄκραν, συνέκλεισε τὸν φραγμὸν τῆς πόλεως Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
28The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, and he put him in charge of all the labor of the house of Joseph.
28καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος Ἱεροβοὰμ ἰσχυρὸς δυνάμει, καὶ εἶδε Σαλωμὼν τὸ παιδάριον ὅτι ἀνὴρ ἔργων ἐστί, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰς ἄρσεις οἴκου Ἰωσήφ.
29At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the way. Now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and the two of them were alone in the field.
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.
30Ahijah took the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces.
30καὶ ἐπελάβετο Ἀχιὰ τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ τοῦ καινοῦ τοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ καὶ διέρρηξεν αὐτὸν δώδεκα ρήγματα
31He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces; for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you
31καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἱεροβοάμ· λάβε σεαυτῷ δέκα ρήγματα, ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ρήσσω τὴν βασιλείαν ἐκ χειρὸς Σαλωμὼν καὶ δώσω σοι δέκα σκῆπτρα.
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),
32καὶ δύο σκῆπτρα ἔσονται αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν δοῦλόν μου Δαυὶδ καὶ διὰ Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὴν πόλιν, ἣν ἐξελεξάμην ἐν αὐτῇ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν Ἰσραήλ,
33because they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.
33καὶ ἀνθ᾿ 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.
34“‘However, 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, who kept my commandments and my statutes,
34καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβω τὴν βασιλείαν ὅλην ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, διότι ἀντιτασσόμενος ἀντιτάξομαι αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ, διὰ τὸν Δαυὶδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου, ὃν ἐξελεξάμην αὐτόν.
35but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
35καὶ λήψομαι τὴν βασιλείαν ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ δώσω σοι τὰ δέκα σκῆπτρα,
36I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
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.
37I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.
37καὶ σὲ λήψομαι καὶ βασιλεύσεις ἐν οἷς ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχή σου, καὶ σὺ ἔσῃ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
38It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
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 πιστόν, καθὼς ᾠκοδόμησα τῷ Δαυὶδ.
39I will afflict the offspring of David for this, but not forever.’”
no verse 39 in this text
40Therefore Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
40καὶ ἐζήτησε Σαλωμὼν θανατῶσαι τὸν Ἱεροβοάμ, καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀπέδρα εἰς Αἴγυπτον πρὸς Σουσακὶμ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἦν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, ἕως οὗ ἀπέθανε Σαλωμών.
41Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, aren’t they written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
41Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Σαλωμὼν καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησε, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν φρόνησιν αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ ρημάτων Σαλωμών;
42The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
42καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι, ἅς ἐβασίλευε Σαλωμὼν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη.
43Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
43καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Σαλωμὼν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ναβάτ, 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.
no verse 44 in this text
44καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Ροβοὰμ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
