6. So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of Adonai and did not fully follow after Adonai, unlike his father David.
7. At that time Solomon also built a high place for Chemosh, the detested thing of Moab, on the mountain near Jerusalem, as well as for Molech the detested thing of the children of Ammon.
8. Thus he did for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and offering sacrifices to their gods.
9. So Adonai became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from Adonai, the God of Israel—who had appeared to him twice.
10. He had commanded him about this, that he should not go after other gods, yet he did not keep what Adonai had commanded.
11. So Adonai said to Solomon: “Since you have done this and did not keep My covenant and My statutes that I commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and 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 away from the hand of your son.
13. Yet I will not tear away the whole kingdom, but will give one tribe to your son for My servant David ‘s sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.”
14. Then Adonai raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite, of the royal line in Edom.
15. Earlier, when David was at war with Edom, Joab, commander of the army, went up to bury the slain, and had struck down every male in Edom.
16. Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom.
17. But Hadad and some Edomites, servants of his father, had fled to Egypt, while Hadad was a small boy.
