1 Kings 11:1And king Solomon hath loved many strange women, and the daughter of Pharaoh, females of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Zidon, and of the Hittites,1 Kings 11:2of the nations of which Jehovah said unto the sons of Israel, ‘Ye do not go in to them, and they do not go in to you; surely they turn aside your heart after their gods;’ to them hath Solomon cleaved for love.1 Kings 11:3And he hath women, princesses, seven hundred, and concubines three hundred; and his wives turn aside his heart.1 Kings 11:4And it cometh to pass, at the time of the old age of Solomon, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of David his father.1 Kings 11:5And Solomon goeth after Ashtoreth goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites;1 Kings 11:6and Solomon doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and hath not been fully after Jehovah, like David his father.1 Kings 11:7Then doth Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is on the front of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon;1 Kings 11:8and so he hath done for all his strange women, who are perfuming and sacrificing to their gods.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 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 12:8And 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 12:26and Jeroboam saith in his heart, ‘Now doth the kingdom turn back to the house of David—1 Kings 12:27if this people go up to make sacrifices in the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, then hath the heart of this people turned back unto their lord, unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they have slain me, and turned back unto Rehoboam king of Judah.’1 Kings 12:28And the king taketh counsel, and maketh two calves of gold, and saith unto them, ‘Enough to you of going up to Jerusalem; lo, thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.’1 Kings 12:29And he setteth the one in Beth-El, and the other he hath put in Dan,1 Kings 12:30and this thing becometh a sin, and the people go before the one—unto Dan.1 Kings 12:31And he maketh the house of high places, and maketh priests of the extremities of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi;1 Kings 12:32and Jeroboam maketh a festival in the eighth month, in the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival that is in Judah, and he offereth on the altar—so did he in Beth-El—to sacrifice to the calves which he made, and he hath appointed in Beth-El the priests of the high places that he made.1 Kings 12:33And he offereth up on the altar that he made in Beth-El, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month that he devised of his own heart, and he maketh a festival to the sons of Israel, and offereth on the altar—to make perfume.1 Kings 13:1And lo, a man of God hath come from Judah, by the word of Jehovah, unto Beth-El, and Jeroboam is standing by the altar—to make perfume;1 Kings 13:2and he calleth against the altar, by the word of Jehovah, and saith, ‘Altar! altar! thus said Jehovah, Lo, a son is born to the house of David—Josiah his name—and he hath sacrificed on thee the priests of the high places who are making perfume on thee, and bones of man are burnt on thee.’1 Kings 13:3And he hath given on that day a sign, saying, ‘This is the sign that Jehovah hath spoken, Lo, the altar is rent, and the ashes poured forth that are on it.’1 Kings 13:4And it cometh to pass, at the king’s hearing the word of the man of God that he calleth against the altar in Beth-El, that Jeroboam putteth forth his hand from off the altar, saying, ‘Catch him;’ and his hand is dried up that he hath put forth against him, and he is not able to bring it back unto him,1 Kings 13:5and the altar is rent, and the ashes poured forth from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of Jehovah.1 Kings 13:33After this thing Jeroboam hath not turned from his evil way, and turneth back, and maketh of the extremities of the people priests of high places; he who is desirous he consecrateth his hand, and he is of the priests of the high places.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 15:3and he walketh in all the sins of his father, that he did before him, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father;1 Kings 15:11And Asa doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, like David his father,1 Kings 15:12and removeth the whoremongers out of the land, and turneth aside all the idols that his fathers made;1 Kings 15:13and also Maachah his mother—he turneth her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for a shrine, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and burneth it by the brook Kidron;1 Kings 15:14and the high places have not turned aside; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect with Jehovah all his days,1 Kings 15:15and he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of Jehovah, silver, and gold, and vessels.1 Kings 15:26and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth in the way of his father, and in his sin that he made Israel to sin.1 Kings 15:33In the third year of Asa king of Judah reigned hath Baasha son of Ahijah over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years,1 Kings 15:34and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.1 Kings 16:19for his sins that he sinned, to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to walk in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he did, to cause Israel to sin;1 Kings 16:25And Omri doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and doth evil above all who are before him,1 Kings 16:26and walketh in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah, God of Israel, with their vanities.1 Kings 16:27And the rest of the matters of Omri that he did, and his might that he got, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?1 Kings 16:28And Omri lieth with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son reigneth in his stead.1 Kings 16:29And Ahab son of Omri hath reigned over Israel in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab son of Omri reigneth over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years,1 Kings 16:30and Ahab son of Omri doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah above all who are before him.1 Kings 16:31And it cometh to pass—hath it been light his walking in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat?—then he taketh a wife, Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and goeth and serveth Baal, and boweth himself to it,1 Kings 16:32and raiseth up an altar for Baal, in the house of the Baal, that he built in Samaria;1 Kings 16:33and Ahab maketh the shrine, and Ahab addeth to do so as to provoke Jehovah, God of Israel, above all the kings of Israel who have been before him.1 Kings 21:21lo, I am bringing in unto thee evil, and have taken away thy posterity, and cut off to Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,1 Kings 21:22and given up thy house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which thou hast provoked Me, and dost cause Israel to sin.1 Kings 21:23‘And also of Jezebel hath Jehovah spoken, saying, The dogs do eat Jezebel in the bulwark of Jezreel;1 Kings 21:24him who dieth of Ahab in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat;1 Kings 21:25surely there hath none been like Ahab, who sold himself to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife hath moved,1 Kings 21:26and he doth very abominably to go after the idols, according to all that the Amorite did whom Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.’1 Kings 22:38and one rinseth the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs lick his blood—when the armour they had washed—according to the word of Jehovah that He spake.1 Kings 22:41And Jehoshaphat son of Asa hath reigned over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel,
