  [25] And they brought every one their gifts, vessels of gold, and raiment, and stacte, and spices, and horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

  [26] καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Σαλωμὼν τέσσαρες χιλιάδες θήλειαι ἵπποι εἰς ἅρματα καὶ δώδεκα χιλιάδες ἱππέων, καὶ ἔθετο αὐτὰς ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

  [26] And Solomon had four thousand mares for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he put them in the cities of his chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem:

  [26]α καὶ ἦν ἡγούμενος πάντων τῶν βασιλέων ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἕως γῆς ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἕως ὁρίων Αἰγύπτου.

  [26a] and he ruled over all the kings from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.

  [27]καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ὡς λίθους, καὶ τὰς κέδρους ἔδωκεν ὡς συκαμίνους τὰς ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ εἰς πλῆθος,

  [27] And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as the sycamores in the plain for multitude.

  [28] καὶ ἡ ἔξοδος Σαλωμὼν τῶν ἱππέων καὶ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐκ Θεκουέ, ἔμποροι τοῦ βασιλέως ἐλάμβανον ἐκ Θεκουὲ ἐν ἀλλάγματι·

  [28] And the goings forth of Solomon’s horsemen was also out of Egypt, and the king’s merchants were of Thecue; and they received them out of Thecue at a price.

  [29] καὶ ἀνέβαινεν ἡ ἔξοδος ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, ἅρμα ἀντὶ ἑκατὸν ἀργυρίου καὶ ἵππος ἀντὶ πεντήκοντα ἀργυρίου· καὶ οὕτως πᾶσι τοῖς βασιλεῦσι Χεττιΐν καὶ βασιλεῦσι Συρίας κατὰ θάλασσαν ἐξεπορεύοντο.

  [29] And that which proceeded out of Egypt went up thus, even a chariot for a hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for fifty shekels of silver: and thus for all the kings of the Chettians, and the kings of Syria, they came out by sea.

  CHAPTER 11

  ΚΑΙ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἦν φιλογύνης. καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ γυναῖκες ἄρχουσαι ἑπτακόσιαι καὶ παλλακαὶ τριακόσιαι. καὶ ἔλαβε γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραώ, Μωαβίτιδας, ᾿Αμμανίτιδας, Σύρας καὶ ᾿Ιδουμαίας, Χετταίας καὶ ᾿Αμορραίας,

  And king Solomon was a lover of women. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And he took strange women, as well as the daughter of Pharao, Moabitish, Ammanitish women, Syrians and Idumeans, Chettites, and Amorites;

  [2] ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἀπεῖπε Κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ· οὐκ εἰσελεύσεσθε εἰς αὐτούς, καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς ὑμᾶς, μὴ ἐκκλίνωσι τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὀπίσω εἰδώλων αὐτῶν· εἰς αὐτοὺς ἐκολλήθη Σαλωμὼν τοῦ ἀγαπῆσαι.

  [2] of the nations concerning whom the Lord forbade the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall not go in to them, and they shall not come in to you, lest they turn away your hearts after their idols: Solomon clave to these in love.

  [3] Καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ γυναῖκες ἄρχουσαι ἑπτακόσιαι καὶ παλλακαὶ τριακόσιαι καὶ ἐξέκλιναν γυναῖκες αὐτοῦ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ.

  [3] And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.

  [4] καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν καιρῷ γήρους Σαλωμὼν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ τελεία μετὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, καθὼς ἡ καρδία Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξέκλιναν γυναῖκες αἱ ἀλλότριαι τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ὀπίσω θεῶν αὐτῶν.

  [4] And it came to pass in the time of the old age of Solomon, that his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father, and the strange women turned away his heart after their gods.

  [5] τότε ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν ὑψηλὸν τῷ Χαμώς, εἰδώλῳ Μωὰβ καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῶν εἰδώλῳ υἱῶν ᾿Αμμὼν

  [5] Then Solomon built a high place to Chamos the idol of Moab, and to their king the idol of the children of Ammon,

  [6] καὶ τῇ ᾿Αστάρτῃ βδελύγματι Σιδωνίων,

  [6] and to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians.

  [7] καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησε πάσαις ταῖς γυναιξὶν αὐτοῦ ταῖς ἀλλοτρίαις, αἳ ἐθυμίων καὶ ἔθυον τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν.

  [7] And thus he acted towards all his strange wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their idols.

  [8] καὶ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω Κυρίου ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.

  [8] And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he went not after the Lord, as David his father.

  [9] καὶ ὠργίσθη Κύριος ἐπὶ Σαλωμών, ὅτι ἐξέκλινε καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Κυρίου Θεοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ τοῦ ὀφθέντος αὐτῷ δὶς

  [9] And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because he turned away his heart from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared twice to him,

  [10] καὶ ἐντειλαμένου αὐτῷ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λόγου τούτου, τὸ παράπαν μὴ πορευθῆναι ὀπίσω θεῶν ἑτέρων καὶ φυλάξασθαι ποιῆσαι, ἃ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Κύριος ὁ Θεός, οὐδ᾿ ἦν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ τελεία μετὰ Κυρίου κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.

  [10] and charged him concerning this matter, by no means to go after other gods, but to take heed to do what the Lord God commanded him; neither was his heart perfect with the Lord, according to the heart of David his father.

  [11] καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαλωμών· ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἐγένετο ταῦτα μετὰ σοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐφύλαξας τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου, ἃ ἐνετειλάμην σοι, διαρρήσσων διαρρήξω τὴν βασιλείαν σου ἐκ χειρός σου καὶ δώσω αὐτὴν τῷ δούλῳ σου.

  [11] And the Lord said to Solomon, Because it has been thus with thee, and thou hast not kept my commandments and my ordinances which I commanded thee, I will surely rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and give it to thy servant.

  [12] πλὴν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις σου οὐ ποιήσω αὐτὰ διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν πατέρα σου· ἐκ χειρὸς υἱοῦ σου λήψομαι αὐτήν.

  [12] Only in thy days I will not do it for David thy father’s sake: but I will take it out of the hand of thy son.

  [13] πλὴν ὅλην τὴν βασιλείαν οὐ μὴ λάβω· σκῆπτρον ἓν δώσω τῷ υἱῷ σου διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου καὶ διὰ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ τὴν πόλιν, ἣν ἐξελεξάμην.

  [13] Only I will not take away the whole kingdom: I will give one tribe to thy s
on for David my servant’s sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen.

  [14] Καὶ ἤγειρε Κύριος σατὰν τῷ Σαλωμὼν τὸν ῎Αδερ τὸν ᾿Ιδουμαῖον καὶ τὸν ᾿Εσρὼμ υἱὸν ᾿Ελιαδαέ, τὸν ἐν Ραεμμὰθ ᾿Αδραζὰρ βασιλέα Σουβὰ κύριον αὐτοῦ· καὶ συνηθροίσθησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἄνδρες, καὶ ἦν ἄρχων συστρέμματος καὶ προκατελάβετο τὴν Δαμασέκ· καὶ ἦσαν σατὰν τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Σαλωμών. καὶ ῎Αδερ ὁ ᾿Ιδουμαῖος ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος τῆς βασιλείας ἐν ᾿Ιδουμαίᾳ·

  [14] And the Lord raised up an enemy to Solomon, Ader the Idumaean, and Esrom son of Eliadae who dwelt in Raama, and Adadezer king of Suba his master; (and men gathered to him, and he was head of the conspiracy, and he seized on Damasec,)and they were adversaries to Israel all the days of Solomon: and Ader the Idumaean was of the seed royal in Idumaea.

  [15] καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι Δαυὶδ τὸν ᾿Εδὼμ ἐν τῷ πορευθῆναι ᾿Ιωὰβ ἄρχοντα τῆς στρατιᾶς θάπτειν τοὺς τραυματίας, καὶ ἔκοψαν πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιδουμαίᾳ —

  [15] And it happened, that while David was utterly destroying Edom, while Joab captain of the host was going to bury the dead, when they slew every male in Idumaea;

  [16] ὅτι ἓξ μῆνας ἐνεκάθητο ἐκεῖ ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιδουμαίᾳ, ἕως ὅτου ἐξωλόθρευσε πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιδουμαίᾳ —

  [16] (for Joab and all Israel abode there six months in Idumaea, until he utterly destroyed every male in Idumaea;)

  [17] καὶ ἀπέδρα ῎Αδερ, αὐτὸς καὶ πάντες ἄνδρες ᾿Ιδουμαῖοι τῶν παίδων τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον· καὶ ῎Αδερ παιδάριον μικρόν.

  [17] that Ader ran away, he and all the Idumaeans of the servants of his father with him; and they went into Egypt; and Ader was then a little child.

  [18] καὶ ἀνίστανται ἄνδρες ἐκ τῆς πόλεως Μαδιὰμ καὶ ἔρχονται εἰς Φαρὰν καὶ λαμβάνουσιν ἄνδρας μεθ᾿ ἑαυτῶν καὶ ἔρχονται πρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ῎Αδερ πρὸς Φαραώ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ οἶκον καὶ ἄρτους διέταξεν αὐτῷ.

  [18] And there rise up men out of the city of Madiam, and they come to Pharan, and take men with them, and come to Pharao king of Egypt: and Ader went in to Pharao, and he gave him a house, and appointed him provision.

  [19] καὶ εὗρεν ῎Αδερ χάριν ἐναντίον Φαραὼ σφόδρα, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα ἀδελφὴν τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, ἀδελφὴν Θεκεμίνας τὴν μείζω.

  [19] And Ader found great favour in the sight of Pharao, and he gave him his wife’s sister in marriage, the elder sister of Thekemina.

  [20] καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ ἡ ἀδελφὴ Θεκεμίνας τῷ ῎Αδερ τὸν Γανηβὰθ υἱὸν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξέθρεψεν αὐτὸν Θεκεμίνα ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν Φαραώ, καὶ ἦν Γανηβὰθ ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν Φαραώ.

  [20] And the sister of Thekemina bore to him, even to Ader, Ganebath her son; and Thekemina brought him up in the midst of the sons of Pharao, and Ganebath was in the midst of the sons of Pharao.

  [21] καὶ ῎Αδερ ἤκουσεν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ὅτι κεκοίμηται Δαυὶδ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅτι τέθνηκεν ᾿Ιωὰβ ὁ ἄρχων τῆς στρατιᾶς· καὶ εἶπεν ῎Αδερ πρὸς Φαραώ· ἐξαπόστειλόν με καὶ ἀποστρέψω εἰς τὴν γῆν μου.

  [21] And Ader heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead; and Ader said to Pharao, Let me go, and I will return to my country.

  [22] καὶ εἶπε Φαραὼ τῷ ῎Αδερ· τίνι σὺ ἐλαττονῇ μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ; καὶ ἰδοὺ σὺ ζητεῖς ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν γῆν σου. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ῎Αδερ, ὅτι ἐξαποστέλλων ἐξαποστελεῖς με· καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν ῎Αδερ εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ. αὕτη ἡ κακία, ἣν ἐποίησεν ῎Αδερ· καὶ ἐβαρυθύμησεν ἐν ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν γῇ ᾿Εδώμ.

  [22] And Pharao said to Ader, What lackest thou with me? that lo! thou seekest to depart to thy country? and Ader said to him, By all means let me go. So Ader returned to his country; this is the mischief which Ader did, and he was a bitter enemy of Israel, and he reigned in the land of Edom.

  [23] Καὶ ἤγειρε Κύριος σατὰν τῷ Σαλωμὼν τὸν Ραζὼν υἱὸν ᾿Ελιαδαὲ τὸν Βαραμεὲθ ᾿Αδαδεζὲρ βασιλέα Σουβὰ κύριον αὐτοῦ.

  [23]And the Lord stirred up to Solomon another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer the king of Zobah.

  [24] καὶ συνηθροίσθησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἄνδρες καὶ ἦν ἄρχων συστρέμματος ἐν τῷ ἀποκτείνειν Δαυὶδ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς Δαμασκὸν καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Δαμασκῷ

  [24] And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.

  [25] καὶ ἐγένετο ἀντικείμενος τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Σαλωμών.

  [25]And it came to pass that he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon.

  [26] Καὶ ῾Ιεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ναβὰτ ὁ ᾿Εφραθὶ ἐκ τῆς Σαριρὰ υἱὸς γυναικὸς χήρας δοῦλος Σαλωμών.

  [26] And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the Ephrathite of Sarira, the son of a widow, was servant of Solomon.

  [27] καὶ τοῦτο τὸ πρᾶγμα ὡς ἐπῄρατο χεῖρας ἐπὶ βασιλέα Σαλωμών. καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν ἄκραν, συνέκλεισε τὸν φραγμὸν τῆς πόλεως Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.

  [27] And this was the occasion of his lifting up his hands against king Solomon: now king Solomon built the citadel, he completed the fortification of the city of David his father.

  [28] καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ῾Ιεροβοὰμ ἰσχυρὸς δυνάμει, καὶ εἶδε Σαλωμὼν τὸ παιδάριον ὅτι ἀνὴρ ἔργων ἐστί, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰς ἄρσεις οἴκου ᾿Ιωσήφ.

  [28] And the man Jeroboam was very strong; and Solomon saw the young man that he was active, and he set him over the levies of the house of Joseph.

  [29] καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ ῾Ιεροβοὰμ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ εὗρεν αὐτὸν ᾿Αχιὰ ὁ Σηλωνίτης ὁ προφήτης ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ· καὶ ᾿Αχιὰ περιβεβλημένος ἱματίῳ καινῷ, καὶ ἀμφότεροι μόνοι ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ.

  [29] And it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went fo
rth from Jerusalem, and Achia the Selonite the prophet found him in the way, and caused him to turn aside out of the way: and Achia was clad with a new garment, and they two were alone in the field.

  [30] καὶ ἐπελάβετο ᾿Αχιὰ τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ τοῦ καινοῦ τοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ καὶ διέρρηξεν αὐτὸν δώδεκα ρήγματα

  [30] And Achia laid hold of his new garment that was upon him, and tore it into twelve pieces:

  [31] καὶ εἶπε τῷ ῾Ιεροβοάμ· λάβε σεαυτῷ δέκα ρήγματα, ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραήλ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ρήσσω τὴν βασιλείαν ἐκ χειρὸς Σαλωμὼν καὶ δώσω σοι δέκα σκῆπτρα.

  [31] and he said to Jeroboam, Take to thyself ten pieces, for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes.

  [32] καὶ δύο σκῆπτρα ἔσονται αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν δοῦλόν μου Δαυὶδ καὶ διὰ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ τὴν πόλιν, ἣν ἐξελεξάμην ἐν αὐτῇ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν ᾿Ισραήλ,

  [32] Yet he shall have two tribes, for my servant David’s sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.

  [33] καὶ ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπέ με καὶ ἐποίησε τῇ ᾿Αστάρτῃ βδελύγματι Σιδωνίων καὶ τῷ Χαμὼς καὶ τοῖς εἰδώλοις Μωὰβ καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῶν προσοχθίσματι υἱῶν ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.

  [33] Because he forsook me, and sacrificed to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos, and to the idols of Moab, and to their king the abomination of the children of Ammon, and he walked not in my ways, to do that which was right before me, as David his father did.
