6. Solomon did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and didn’t go fully after Yahweh, as David his father did.
7. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8. So he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9. Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10. and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he didn’t keep that which Yahweh commanded.
11. Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.
12. Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days, for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it out of your son’s hand.
13. However I will not tear away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to your son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.”
14. Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite. He was one of the king’s offspring in Edom.
15. For when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom
16. (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom);
17. Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, when Hadad was still a little child.
18. They arose out of Midian, and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him food, and gave him land.
19. Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
