The Third Book of Kingdoms, Chapter 11ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Γ′ ΙΑ′

καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων ἦν φιλογύναιος καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ ἄρχουσαι ἑπτακόσιαι καὶ παλλακαὶ τριακόσιαι καὶ ἔλαβεν γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραω Μωαβίτιδας Αμμανίτιδας Σύρας καὶ Ιδουμαίας Χετταίας καὶ Αμορραίας

And king Solomon was a lover of women, and he had seven hundred ruling wives and three hundred concubines; and he took foreign women, and the daughter of Pharaoh — Moabites, Ammonites, Syrians, and Edomites, Hittites, and Amorites.

ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἀπεῖπεν κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ οὐκ εἰσελεύσεσθε εἰς αὐτούς καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς ὑμᾶς μὴ ἐκκλίνωσιν τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὀπίσω εἰδώλων αὐτῶν εἰς αὐτοὺς ἐκολλήθη Σαλωμων τοῦ ἀγαπῆσαι

From the nations concerning which the LORD said to the sons of Israel, 'You shall not go in to them, and they shall not come in to you, lest they turn aside your hearts after their idols' — to these Solomon clung in love.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν καιρῷ γήρους Σαλωμων καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ τελεία μετὰ κυρίου θεοῦ αὐτοῦ καθὼς ἡ καρδία Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξέκλιναν αἱ γυναῖκες αἱ ἀλλότριαι τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ὀπίσω θεῶν αὐτῶν

And it came to pass in the time of Solomon's old age that his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father; and the foreign women turned aside his heart after their gods.

τότε ᾠκοδόμησεν Σαλωμων ὑψηλὸν τῷ Χαμως εἰδώλῳ Μωαβ καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῶν εἰδώλῳ υἱῶν Αμμων

Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the idol of Moab, and for their king, the idol of the sons of Ammon.

καὶ τῇ Ἀστάρτῃ βδελύγματι Σιδωνίων

and for Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians.

καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησεν πάσαις ταῖς γυναιξὶν αὐτοῦ ταῖς ἀλλοτρίαις ἐθυμίων καὶ ἔθυον τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν

And thus he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their idols.

καὶ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω κυρίου ὡς Δαυιδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ

And Solomon did what was evil before the LORD; he did not walk after the LORD as David his father.

καὶ ὠργίσθη κύριος ἐπὶ Σαλωμων ὅτι ἐξέκλινεν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ τοῦ ὀφθέντος αὐτῷ δὶς

And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because he had turned his heart aside from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

καὶ ἐντειλαμένου αὐτῷ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λόγου τούτου τὸ παράπαν μὴ πορευθῆναι ὀπίσω θεῶν ἑτέρων καὶ φυλάξασθαι ποιῆσαι ἃ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ κύριος ὁ θεός

and had commanded him concerning this matter, not at all to go after other gods, but to take care to do what the LORD God had commanded him;

καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Σαλωμων 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

And the LORD said to Solomon, 'Because these things have come to be with you and you have not kept my commandments and my statutes which I commanded you, by tearing I will tear the kingdom from your hand and will give it to your servant.

πλὴν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις σου οὐ ποιήσω αὐτὰ διὰ Δαυιδ τὸν πατέρα σου ἐκ χειρὸς υἱοῦ σου λήμψομαι αὐτήν

Nevertheless in your days I will not do these things, for the sake of David your father; from the hand of your son I will take it.

πλὴν ὅλην τὴν βασιλείαν οὐ μὴ λάβω σκῆπτρον ἓν δώσω τῷ υἱῷ σου διὰ Δαυιδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου καὶ διὰ Ιερουσαλημ τὴν πόλιν ἣν ἐξελεξάμην

Nevertheless I will not take the whole kingdom; one scepter I will give to your son, for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem the city which I have chosen.

καὶ ἤγειρεν κύριος σαταν τῷ Σαλωμων τὸν Αδερ τὸν Ιδουμαῖον καὶ τὸν Εσρωμ υἱὸν Ελιαδαε τὸν ἐν Ραεμμαθ Αδραζαρ βασιλέα Σουβα κύριον αὐτοῦ καὶ συνηθροίσθησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἄνδρες καὶ ἦν ἄρχων συστρέμματος καὶ προκατελάβετο τὴν Δαμασεκ καὶ ἦσαν σαταν τῷ Ισραηλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Σαλωμων καὶ Αδερ ὁ Ιδουμαῖος ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος τῆς βασιλείας ἐν Ιδουμαίᾳ

And the LORD raised up an adversary against Solomon — Hadad the Edomite, and Esrom son of Eliada, who was in Raemmath; Hadadezer king of Zobah was his lord, and men gathered to him, and he was a leader of a marauding band, and he seized Damascus beforehand; and they were adversaries to Israel all the days of Solomon. And Hadad the Edomite was of the royal seed in Edom.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι Δαυιδ τὸν Εδωμ ἐν τῷ πορευθῆναι Ιωαβ ἄρχοντα τῆς στρατιᾶς θάπτειν τοὺς τραυματίας ἔκοψαν πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐν τῇ Ιδουμαίᾳ

And it came to pass, when David was destroying Edom, when Joab the commander of the army went to bury the slain, that they struck down every male in Edom.

ὅτι ἓξ μῆνας ἐνεκάθητο ἐκεῖ Ιωαβ καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ Ιδουμαίᾳ ἕως ὅτου ἐξωλέθρευσεν πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐκ τῆς Ιδουμαίας

For six months Joab remained there, he and all Israel, in Edom, until he had destroyed every male out of Edom.

καὶ ἀπέδρα Αδερ αὐτὸς καὶ πάντες ἄνδρες Ιδουμαῖοι τῶν παίδων τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον καὶ Αδερ παιδάριον μικρόν

But Hadad fled, he and all the Edomite men of his father's servants with him, and they entered into Egypt; and Hadad was a little boy.

καὶ ἀνίστανται ἄνδρες ἐκ τῆς πόλεως Μαδιαμ καὶ ἔρχονται εἰς Φαραν καὶ λαμβάνουσιν ἄνδρας μετ᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ ἔρχονται πρὸς Φαραω βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Αδερ πρὸς Φαραω καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ οἶκον καὶ ἄρτους διέταξεν αὐτῷ

And men arose from the city of Midian and came to Paran, and they took men with them and came to Pharaoh king of Egypt; and Hadad went in to Pharaoh, and he gave him a house and assigned him provisions.

καὶ εὗρεν Αδερ χάριν ἐναντίον Φαραω σφόδρα καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα ἀδελφὴν τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ ἀδελφὴν Θεκεμινας τὴν μείζω

And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, and he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the elder sister of Tahpenes.

καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ ἡ ἀδελφὴ Θεκεμινας τῷ Αδερ τὸν Γανηβαθ υἱὸν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξέθρεψεν αὐτὸν Θεκεμινα ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν Φαραω καὶ ἦν Γανηβαθ ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν Φαραω

And the sister of Tahpenes bore to Hadad Genubath her son, and Tahpenes reared him in the midst of the sons of Pharaoh; and Genubath was in the midst of the sons of Pharaoh.

καὶ Αδερ ἤκουσεν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ὅτι κεκοίμηται Δαυιδ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅτι τέθνηκεν Ιωαβ ὁ ἄρχων τῆς στρατιᾶς καὶ εἶπεν Αδερ πρὸς Φαραω ἐξαπόστειλόν με καὶ ἀποστρέψω εἰς τὴν γῆν μου

And Hadad heard in Egypt that David had slept with his fathers and that Joab the commander of the army had died, and Hadad said to Pharaoh, 'Send me away, and I will return to my land.'

καὶ εἶπεν Φαραω 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

And Pharaoh said to Hadad, 'In what do you lack with me, that behold, you seek to go away to your land?' And Hadad said to him, 'You will indeed send me away.' And Hadad returned to his land.

αὕτη ἡ κακία ἣν ἐποίησεν Αδερ καὶ ἐβαρυθύμησεν ἐν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν γῇ Εδωμ

This is the evil that Hadad did; and he was a grievous burden upon Israel, and he reigned in the land of Edom.

καὶ Ιεροβοαμ υἱὸς Ναβατ ὁ Εφραθι ἐκ τῆς Σαριρα υἱὸς γυναικὸς χήρας δοῦλος Σαλωμων

And Jeroboam son of Nebat, the Ephrathite from Sarira, son of a widow woman, was a servant of Solomon.

καὶ τοῦτο τὸ πρᾶγμα ὡς ἐπήρατο χεῖρας ἐπὶ βασιλέα Σαλωμων ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν ἄκραν συνέκλεισεν τὸν φραγμὸν τῆς πόλεως Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ

And this is the matter of how he lifted up hands against king Solomon: he built the citadel, he closed up the breach of the city of David his father.

καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος Ιεροβοαμ ἰσχυρὸς δυνάμει καὶ εἶδεν Σαλωμων τὸ παιδάριον ὅτι ἀνὴρ ἔργων ἐστίν καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰς ἄρσεις οἴκου Ιωσηφ

And the man Jeroboam was mighty in strength; and Solomon saw the young man, that he was a man of works, and he set him over the burdens of the house of Joseph.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ Ιεροβοαμ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ εὗρεν αὐτὸν Αχιας ὁ Σηλωνίτης ὁ προφήτης ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ ὁ Αχιας περιβεβλημένος ἱματίῳ καινῷ καὶ ἀμφότεροι ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ

And it came to pass at that time that Jeroboam went out from Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite the prophet found him on the way and turned him aside out of the road; and Ahijah was clothed in a new garment, and the two of them were alone in the field.

καὶ ἐπελάβετο Αχια τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ τοῦ καινοῦ τοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ καὶ διέρρηξεν αὐτὸ δώδεκα ῥήγματα

And Ahijah took hold of his new garment that was upon him and tore it into twelve pieces.

καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ιεροβοαμ λαβὲ σεαυτῷ δέκα ῥήγματα ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ῥήσσω τὴν βασιλείαν ἐκ χειρὸς Σαλωμων καὶ δώσω σοι δέκα σκῆπτρα

And he said to Jeroboam, 'Take for yourself ten pieces; for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Behold, I am tearing the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and I will give you ten scepters.'

καὶ δύο σκῆπτρα ἔσονται αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν δοῦλόν μου Δαυιδ καὶ διὰ Ιερουσαλημ τὴν πόλιν ἣν ἐξελεξάμην ἐν αὐτῇ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν Ισραηλ

And two scepters shall be his, for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.

ἀνθ᾿ ὧν κατέλιπέν με καὶ ἐποίησεν τῇ Ἀστάρτῃ βδελύγματι Σιδωνίων καὶ τῷ Χαμως καὶ τοῖς εἰδώλοις Μωαβ καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῶν προσοχθίσματι υἱῶν Αμμων καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ ὡς Δαυιδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ

Because he forsook me and did service to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chemosh, and to the idols of Moab, and to their king the detestable thing of the sons of Ammon, and did not walk in my ways to do what is right before me, as David his father.

καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβω ὅλην τὴν βασιλείαν ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ διότι ἀντιτασσόμενος ἀντιτάξομαι αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ διὰ Δαυιδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου ὃν ἐξελεξάμην αὐτόν

But I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, for I will surely set myself to support him all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I have chosen.

καὶ λήμψομαι τὴν βασιλείαν ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ δώσω σοι τὰ δέκα σκῆπτρα

But I will take the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and I will give you the ten scepters.

τῷ δὲ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ δώσω τὰ δύο σκῆπτρα ὅπως ᾖ θέσις τῷ δούλῳ μου Δαυιδ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ τῇ πόλει ἣν ἐξελεξάμην ἐμαυτῷ τοῦ θέσθαι ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ

But to his son I will give the two scepters, that there may be a standing-place for my servant David all the days before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.

καὶ σὲ λήμψομαι καὶ βασιλεύσεις ἐν οἷς ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχή σου καὶ σὺ ἔσῃ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὸν Ισραηλ

And you I will take, and you shall reign over whatever your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel.

καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν φυλάξῃς πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐντείλωμαί σοι καὶ πορευθῇς ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου καὶ ποιήσῃς τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου καθὼς ἐποίησεν Δαυιδ ὁ δοῦλός μου καὶ ἔσομαι μετὰ σοῦ καὶ οἰκοδομήσω σοι οἶκον πιστόν καθὼς ᾠκοδόμησα τῷ Δαυιδ

And it shall be, if you keep all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my statutes, as David my servant did, then I will be with you and will build you a sure house, as I built for David.

καὶ ἐζήτησεν Σαλωμων θανατῶσαι τὸν Ιεροβοαμ καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀπέδρα εἰς Αἴγυπτον πρὸς Σουσακιμ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἦν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἕως οὗ ἀπέθανεν Σαλωμων

And Solomon sought to put Jeroboam to death, but he arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and he was in Egypt until Solomon died.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν ῥημάτων Σαλωμων καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν φρόνησιν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ ῥημάτων Σαλωμων

And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and all his wisdom — behold, are these not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι ἃς ἐβασίλευσεν Σαλωμων ἐν Ιερουσαλημ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη

And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem were forty years.

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Σαλωμων μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἤκουσεν Ιεροβοαμ υἱὸς Ναβατ καὶ αὐτοῦ ἔτι ὄντος ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ὡς ἔφυγεν ἐκ προσώπου Σαλωμων καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ κατευθύνει καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν Σαριρα τὴν ἐν ὄρει Εφραιμ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ροβοαμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ

And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father; and it came to pass, when Jeroboam son of Nebat heard — and he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of Solomon, and was dwelling in Egypt — he made straight and came to his city, to the land of Sarira in Mount Ephraim; and king Solomon slept with his fathers, and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
