11:010:026 And Solomon gathered together chariots
and horsemen: and he
had
a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand
horsemen,
whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and
with
the king at Jerusalem.
11:010:027 And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem
as stones, and
cedars
made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the
vale,
for abundance.
11:010:028 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt,
and linen yarn:
the
king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a
price.
11:010:029 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt
for six hundred
shekels
of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty:
and
so
for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings
of
Syria,
did they bring them out by their means.
11:011:001 But king Solomon loved many strange women,
together with the
daughter
of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites,
Edomites,
Zidonians, and Hittites:
11:011:002 Of the nations concerning which the lord
said unto the
children
of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall
they
come in unto you: for surely they will turn away
your
heart
after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in
love.
11:011:003 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses,
and three hundred
concubines:
and his wives turned away his heart.
11:011:004 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old,
that his wives
turned
away his heart after other gods: and his heart
was not
perfect
with the lord his God, as was the heart of David
his
father.
11:011:005 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess
of the Zidonians,
and
after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
11:011:006 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the
lord, and went not
fully
after the lord, as did David his father.
11:011:007 Then did Solomon build an high place for
Chemosh, the
abomination
of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and
for
Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
11:011:008 And likewise did he for all his strange
wives, which burnt
incense
and sacrificed unto their gods.
11:011:009 And the lord was angry with Solomon,
because his heart was
turned
from the lord God of Israel, which had appeared
unto
him
twice,
11:011:010 And had commanded him concerning this thing,
that he should
not
go after other gods: but he kept not that which
the lord
commanded.
11:011:011 Wherefore the lord said unto Solomon,
Forasmuch as this is
done
of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my
statutes,
which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the
kingdom
from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
