Translation, 1 Kings 11

Now the King Shlomoh loved women, Foreign ones, Many. And the daughter of Pharaoh. Moabiyyot Ammanoyyot Adomyyot Tzedniyyot Chittiyyot From the nations which Yahweh said to the sons of Israel, ?You shall not enter into them And they shall not enter into you. Truly they will turn away your heart after their gods.?E To these Shlomoh cleaved with love. Now there were to him women, princesses, 700 And concubines, 300. And his wives turned away his heart.

And it was at the time of old age of Shlomoh His wives caused to turn away his heart after other gods., And his heart was not complete with Yahweh his God As the heart of David his father. And walked Shlomoh after Ashtoret goddess of Tzidoniym And after Milkom the detestable-thing of Ammoniym. And did Shlomoh the evil in the eyes of Yahweh. And he was not filled after Yahweh as David his father. Also built Shlomoh a high place for KeMosh the detestable-thing of Moav On the mountain which is before the face of Jerusalem. And for Molek the detestable-thing of the sons of Ammon. And thus he did for all his wives, the foreign ones, Turning-to-smoke And sacrificing To their gods.

And angry was Yahweh against Shlomoh For turned was his heart from-with Yahweh the Elohim of Israel, Who appeared to him two times. And he commanded to him about this thing Not to walk after other gods And he did not guard (that) which Yahweh commanded.

And said Yahweh to Shlomoh, ?Because which this thing is with you And you did not guard My covenant and my ordinances Which I commanded over you Tearing I will tear the kingdom from you And it shall be given to your servant. But in your days I will not do it because David your father. From the hand of your son I will tear it. Also, all the kingdom I will not tear. One tribe I will give to your son because of David My servant. And because of Jerusalem which I have chosen.?E

And Yahweh caused to rise satan to Shlomoh Even Hadad the Adomiy, From the seed of the king he was in Edom. And it was in the being of David (in) Edom In the ascending of Joab chief of the hosts to bury the dead And he struck every male in Edom For six months Joab dwelt there and all Israel Until every male was cut off in Edom. And fled Adad, he and his men, Adomiyiym From the servants of his father with him to enter Mizraim Now Hadad was a young lad. And they arose from Midyan and entered Paran and took men with them from Paran And entered Mizraim to Pharaoh king of Mizraim. And he gave to him a house And bread said to him And land he gave to him. And found Hadad grace in the eyes of Pharaoh, very much, And he gave to him a wife, the sister of his wife, the sister of Tachpeneys the great lady. And she bore to him, the sister of Tachpeneys, Genubath his son And Tachpeneys weaned him in the midst of the house of Pharaoh. And Genubath was in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of the sons of Pharaoh. Now Hadad heart in Mizraim For David slept with his fathers And for Joab, the chief of the hosts, died And Hadad said to Pharaoh, ?Send me And I will walk to my land.?E And said to him Pharaoh, ?For what are you as one-who-lacks with me? Now behold, you are seeking to walk to your land. And he said, ?No. For sending, you shall send me.?E

And raised up Elohim to him a satan, even Rezon son of Elyada Who fled from Hadadezer king of Tzovah his master. And he gathered to him men And he was chief of a raiding-party In David?s slaying them And they walked (to) Dammeseq And they dwelt in her And they ruled in Dammeseq. And he was satan to Israel all the days of Shlomoh And the evil which Hadad And he abhorred Israel And he reigned over Aram.

Now Yarav?am son of Nevat, an Efrati from Tzeredah Now the name of his mother (was) Tzeru?ah, wife of Elmanah servant to Shlomoh And he lifted a hand against the king. Now this is the word/thing which caused (him) to lift his hand against king Shlomoh: He built the Millo Closed up the breach of the city of David his father. Now the man Yarav?am (was) a might man of substance And Shlomoh saw the young man For a doer of work (was) he And he appointed him to all the burden of the house of Yosef. And it was in this time And Yarav?am went out from Jerusalem And found him Achiyyah the Shiloni the prophet in the way Now he covered himself in a mantle, a fresh one Now the two of them alone in the field. And Achiyyah took hold on the mantle, the fresh one which was on him And he tore it into twelve tearings. And he said to Yarav?am, ?Take for yourself ten tearings For thus says Yahweh the Elohim of Israel, ?Behold tearing the kingdom from the hand of Shlomoh I give to you ten tribes. But the one tribe will be for him On account of My servant David and on account of Jerusalem The city which I have chosen In all the tribes of Israel. Because which they forsook me And have prostrated themselves To Ashtoreth goddess of Tzidoniyn To Chemosh god of Moab And to Milkom god of the sons of Ammon And they have not walked in my ways To do the upright-thing in My eyes And My statutes and My judgements As David his father. But I will not take all the kingdom from his hand For a prince I will appoint him all the days of his life On account of David my servant which I chose him Who guarded My commandments and My ordinances. But I will take the kingdom from the hand of his son And I will give her to you, even ten tribes. Now to his son I will give one tribe In order that a lamp might be for David My servant all the days before Me In Jerusalem the city which I chose for him To set My name there. But you I take and you shall reign-as-king Over all which your soul craves (desires-as-lovely) And you shall be king over Israel. And it will be if you hear all which I command you And you walk in My ways And you do the upright-thing in My eyes To guard My ordinances and My commandments Just as did David My servant And I will be with you And I will build for you a house of endurance Just as I built for David And give to you Israel. And I will afflict the seed of David on account of this Only not all days.?E

And sought Shlomoh to cause-death to Yarav?am. And Yarav?am arose And fled (to) Mizraim, to Shiyshaq, king of Mizraim And he was in Mizraim until the death of Shlomoh.

Now the remainder of the words/things of Shlomoh And all which he did and his wisdom As they not written on the Book of the Things of Shlomoh. And slept Shlomoh with his fathers And he was buried in the city of David his father. And reigned-as-king Rechav?am his son in his place.
