I WILL SURELY REND THE KINGDOM FROM THEE AND WILL GIVE IT TO THY SERVANT

1 KINGS 11:1-11 

BUT 

KING SOLOMON LOVED 

MANY STRANGE WOMEN, 

TOGETHER WITH 

THE DAUGHTER OF PHARAOH, 

WOMEN OF THE MOABITES, 

AMMONITES, EDOMITES, 

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: 

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 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.
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 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.

LOVE
