precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. : And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not. : And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomons wisdom, and the house that he had
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004501
built, : And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her. : And she said to the king, It was a true report that
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004502
I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom. : Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard. : Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004503
before thee, and that hear thy wisdom. : Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice. : And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004504
great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. : And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones. : And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004505
house of the LORD, and for the kings house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day. : And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004506
own country, she and her servants. : Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold, : Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country. : And
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004507
king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target. : And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. : Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004508
overlaid it with the best gold. : The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays. : And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004509
was not the like made in any kingdom. : And all king Solomons drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon. : For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004510
the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. : So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. : And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. : And they
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004511
brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. : 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
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004512
Jerusalem. : 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. : And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the kings merchants received the linen yarn at a price. : And a chariot came up and went
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004513
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. : But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004514
Zidonians, and Hittites: : 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. : And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines:
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004515
and his wives turned away his heart. : 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. : For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004516
the abomination of the Ammonites. : And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. : 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. :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004517
And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. : And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, : And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004518
kept not that which the LORD commanded. : 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. : Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004519
it for David thy fathers sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. : Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servants sake, and for Jerusalems sake which I have chosen. : And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004520
the Edomite: he was of the kings seed in Edom. : For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom; : (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004521
male in Edom:) : That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his fathers servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child. : And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004522
an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land. : And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. : And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaohs house: and Genubath was
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004523
in Pharaohs household among the sons of Pharaoh. : And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country. : Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004524
behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise. : And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah: : And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004525
Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus. : And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria. : And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomons servant, whose mothers name was Zeruah, a widow
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004526
woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king. : And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father. : And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004527
he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph. : And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field: : And Ahijah caught
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004528
the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces: : And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee: : (But he shall have one tribe for my
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004529
servant Davids sake, and for Jerusalems sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:) : Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004530
that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father. : Howbeit 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 servants sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004531
statutes: : But I will take the kingdom out of his sons hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes. : And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there. : And I
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004532
will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel. : And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004533
did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee. : And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever. : Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004534
in Egypt until the death of Solomon. : And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? : And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. : And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004535
buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. : And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king. : And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004536
of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;) : That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying, : Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004537
thee. : And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed. : And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people? : And they spake unto him, saying, If
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004538
thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever. : But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004539
stood before him: : And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter? : And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004540
unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my fathers loins. : And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004541
will chastise you with scorpions. : So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day. : And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old mens counsel that they gave him; : And spake to them after the counsel of the young
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004542
men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. : Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004543
Jeroboam the son of Nebat. : So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents. : But as
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004544
for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. : Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. : So Israel rebelled against the house
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004545
of David unto this day. : And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only. : And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004546
assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. : But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying, : Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004547
Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying, : Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004548
LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD. : Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel. : And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David: : If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004549
of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah. : Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004550
up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. : And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. : And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. : And he made an house of high
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004551
places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. : And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004552
had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made. : So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004553
offered upon the altar, and burnt incense. : And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. : And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004554
child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and mens bones shall be burnt upon thee. : And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004555
be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out. : And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004556
him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him. : The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD. : And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004557
face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the kings hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. : And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004558
give thee a reward. : And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place: : For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004559
nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. : So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel. : Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004560
he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father. : And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah. : And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004561
thereon, : And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am. : Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread. : And he said, I may not return with thee, nor
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004562
go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place: : For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. : He said unto him, I am a prophet also
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004563
as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. : So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water. : And it came to pass,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004564
as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back: : And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004565
thee, : But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. : And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004566
saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back. : And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase. : And, behold, men passed by, and saw
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004567
the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt. : And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004568
LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him. : And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him. : And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004569
standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass. : And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him. : And he laid his carcase in his
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004570
own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother! : And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones: : For the saying which he cried by
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004571
the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass. : After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004572
him, and he became one of the priests of the high places. : And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth. : At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. : And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004573
thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people. : And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004574
shall become of the child. : And Jeroboams wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age. : And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004575
son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman. : And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004576
feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings. : Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel, : And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004577
thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes; : But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004578
cast me behind thy back: : Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all
60
gutenberg
twg_000000004579
gone. : Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it. : Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die. : And all Israel
