1 Kings 11Solomon’s Errors

1 Edom and Joab the commander of the army went up to bury the dead, he killed every male in Edom

16(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months until he had eliminated every male in Edom),

17but Hadad fled to Egypt with some Edomites who were servants of his father. He was a young boy at that time.

18They set out from Midian and came to Paran; they took people with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him an allowance of food, and gave him land.

19Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him his sister-in-law for a wife, the sister of Queen Tahpenes.

20The sister of Tahpenes gave birth by him to his son Genubath, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the children of Pharaoh.

21 Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, King Hadadezer of Zobah.

24 of the city of his father David.

28The man Jeroboam was very able, and when Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, he gave him charge over all the forced labor of the house of Joseph.

29 forsaken me, worshiped Astarte the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and has not walked in my ways, doing what is right in my sight and keeping my statutes and my ordinances, as his father David did.

34Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom away from him but will make him ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of my servant David whom I chose and who did keep my commandments and my statutes,

351 Kings 12.16, 17but I will take the kingdom away from his son and give it to you—that is, the ten tribes.

36v 13; 1 Kings 15.4; 2 Kings 8.19Yet to his son I will give one tribe, so that my servant David may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen to put my name.

37I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires; you shall be king over Israel.

38Josh 1.5; 2 Sam 7.11, 27If you will listen to all that I command you, walk in my ways, and do what is right in my sight by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, I will be with you and will build you an enduring house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

39For this reason I will punish the descendants of David, but not forever.”

40Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam promptly fled to Egypt, to King Shishak of Egypt, and remained in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
