1 Kings 9:2that Jehovah appeareth unto Solomon a second time, as He appeared unto him in Gibeon,1 Kings 9:3and Jehovah saith unto him, ‘I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication with which thou hast made supplication before Me; I have hallowed this house that thou hast built to put My name there—unto the age, and Mine eyes and My heart have been there all the days.1 Kings 9:4‘And thou—if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee—My statutes and My judgments thou dost keep—1 Kings 9:5then I have established the throne of thy kingdom over Israel—to the age, as I spake unto David thy father, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from being on the throne of Israel.1 Kings 9:6‘If ye at all turn back—you and your sons—from after Me, and keep not My commands—My statutes, that I have set before you, and ye have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,1 Kings 9:7then I have cut off Israel from the face of the ground that I have given to them, and the house that I have hallowed for My name I send away from My presence, and Israel hath been for a simile and for a byword among all the peoples;1 Kings 9:8as to this house, that is high, every one passing by it is astonished, and hath hissed, and they have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land and to this house?1 Kings 9:9and they have said, Because that they have forsaken Jehovah their God, who brought out their fathers from the land of Egypt, and they lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them; therefore hath Jehovah brought in upon them all this evil.’1 Kings 11:9And Jehovah sheweth Himself angry with Solomon, for his heart hath turned aside from Jehovah, God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,1 Kings 11:10and given a charge unto him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; and he hath not kept that which Jehovah commanded,1 Kings 11:11and Jehovah saith to Solomon, ‘Because that this hath been with thee, and thou hast not kept My covenant and My statutes that I charged upon thee, I surely rend the kingdom from thee, and have given it to thy servant.1 Kings 11:12‘Only, in thy days I do it not, for the sake of David thy father; out of the hand of thy son I rend it;1 Kings 11:13only all the kingdom I do not rend away; one tribe I give to thy son, for the sake of David My servant, and for the sake of Jerusalem, that I have chosen.’1 Kings 11:14And Jehovah raiseth up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; of the seed of the king is he in Edom;1 Kings 11:23And God raiseth to him an adversary, Rezon son of Eliadah, who hath fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord,1 Kings 12:1And Rehoboam goeth to Shechem, for to Shechem hath all Israel come to make him king.1 Kings 12:2And it cometh to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat’s hearing (and he is yet in Egypt where he hath fled from the presence of Solomon the king, and Jeroboam dwelleth in Egypt),1 Kings 12:3that they send and call for him; and they come—Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel—and speak unto Rehoboam, saying,1 Kings 12:4Thy father made hard our yoke, and thou, now, make light some of the hard service of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we serve thee.’1 Kings 12:5And he saith unto them, ‘Go—yet three days, and come back unto me;’ and the people go.1 Kings 12:6And king Rehoboam consulteth with the elders who have been standing in the presence of Solomon his father, in his being alive, saying, ‘How are ye counselling to answer this people?’1 Kings 12:7And they speak unto him, saying, ‘If, to-day, thou art servant to this people, and hast served them, and answered them, and spoken unto them good words, then they have been to thee servants all the days.’1 Kings 12:8And he forsaketh the counsel of the elders which they counselled him, and consulteth with the lads who have grown up with him, who are standing before him;1 Kings 12:9and he saith unto them, ‘What are ye counselling, and we answer this people, who have spoken unto me, saying, Lighten somewhat of the yoke that thy father put upon us?’1 Kings 12:10And they speak unto him—the lads who had grown up with him—saying, ‘Thus dost thou say to this people who have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and thou, make it light upon us; thus dost thou speak unto them, My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father;1 Kings 12:11and now, my father laid on you a heavy yoke, and I add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I—I chastise you with scorpions.’1 Kings 12:12And they come—Jeroboam and all the people—unto Rehoboam, on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, ‘Come back unto me on the third day.’1 Kings 12:13And the king answereth the people sharply, and forsaketh the counsel of the elders which they counselled him,1 Kings 12:14and speaketh unto them, according to the counsel of the lads, saying, ‘My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I—I chastise you with scorpions;’1 Kings 12:15and the king hearkened not unto the people, for the revolution was from Jehovah, in order to establish His word that Jehovah spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam son of Nebat.1 Kings 12:16And all Israel see that the king hath not hearkened unto them, and the people send the king back word, saying, ‘What portion have we in David? yea, there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse; to thy tents, O Israel; now see thy house, O David!’ and Israel goeth to its tents.1 Kings 12:17As to the sons of Israel, those dwelling in the cities of Judah—over them reign doth Rehoboam.1 Kings 12:18And king Rehoboam sendeth Adoram who is over the tribute, and all Israel cast at him stones, and he dieth; and king Rehoboam hath strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;1 Kings 12:19and Israel transgresseth against the house of David unto this day.1 Kings 12:20And it cometh to pass, at all Israel’s hearing that Jeroboam hath returned, that they send and call him unto the company, and cause him to reign over all Israel; none hath been after the house of David save the tribe of Judah alone.1 Kings 12:21And Rehoboam cometh to Jerusalem, and assembleth all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon.1 Kings 12:22And the word of God is unto Shemaiah a man of God, saying,1 Kings 12:23‘Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying,1 Kings 12:24Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your brethren the sons of Israel; turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this thing been;’ and they hear the word of Jehovah, and turn back to go according to the word of Jehovah.1 Kings 14:7Go, say to Jeroboam, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Because that I have made thee high out of the midst of the people, and appoint thee leader over my people Israel,1 Kings 14:8and rend the kingdom from the house of David, and give it to thee,—and thou hast not been as My servant David who kept My commands, and who walked after Me with all his heart, to do only that which is right in Mine eyes,1 Kings 14:9and thou dost evil above all who have been before thee, and goest, and makest to thee other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and Me thou hast cast behind thy back:1 Kings 14:10‘Therefore, lo, I am bringing in evil unto the house of Jeroboam, and have cut off to Jeroboam those sitting on the wall—shut up and left—in Israel, and have put away the posterity of the house of Jeroboam, as one putteth away the dung till its consumption;1 Kings 14:11him who dieth of Jeroboam in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat, for Jehovah hath spoken.1 Kings 14:12‘And thou, rise, go to thy house; in the going in of thy feet to the city—hath the lad died;1 Kings 14:13and all Israel have mourned for him, and buried him, for this one—by himself—cometh of Jeroboam unto a grave, because there hath been found in him a good thing towards Jehovah, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.1 Kings 14:14‘And Jehovah hath raised up for Him a king over Israel who cutteth off the house of Jeroboam this day—and what?—even now!1 Kings 14:15And Jehovah hath smitten Israel as the reed is moved by the waters, and hath plucked Israel from off this good ground that He gave to their fathers, and scattered them beyond the River, because that they made their shrines, provoking Jehovah to anger;1 Kings 14:16and He giveth up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin.’1 Kings 15:27And conspire against him doth Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, and Baasha smiteth him in Gibbethon, which is to the Philistines—and Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon—1 Kings 15:28yea, Baasha putteth him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigneth in his stead.1 Kings 15:29And it cometh to pass, at his reigning, he hath smitten the whole house of Jeroboam, he hath not left any breathing to Jeroboam till his destroying him, according to the word of Jehovah, that He spake by the hand of His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,1 Kings 15:30because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked to anger Jehovah, God of Israel.1 Kings 16:1And a word of Jehovah is unto Jehu son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying,1 Kings 16:2‘Because that I have raised thee up out of the dust, and appoint thee leader over My people Israel, and thou walkest in the way of Jeroboam, and causest My people Israel to sin—to provoke Me to anger with their sins;1 Kings 16:3lo, I am putting away the posterity of Baasha, even the posterity of his house, and have given up thy house as the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat;1 Kings 16:4him who dieth of Baasha in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth of his in a field do fowl of the heavens eat.’1 Kings 20:7And the king of Israel calleth to all the elders of the land, and saith, ‘Know, I pray you, and see that evil this one is seeking, for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I withheld not from him.’1 Kings 20:8And all the elders and all the people say unto him, ‘Do not hearken, nor consent.’1 Kings 21:5And Jezebel his wife cometh in unto him, and speaketh unto him, ‘What is this?—thy spirit sulky, and thou art not eating bread!’
