Today's audio is from the HCSB. Switch to the HCSB to read along with the audio. 11 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. 2 They were from nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. 4 As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 5 He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites. 6 So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done. 7 On a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable god of Moab, and for Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites. 8 He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods. 9 The Lord became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. 10 Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the Lord’s command. 11 So the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates. 12 Nevertheless, for the sake of David your father, I will not do it during your lifetime. I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, but will give him one tribe for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.” 14 Then the Lord raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom. 15 Earlier when David was fighting with Edom, Joab the commander of the army, who had gone up to bury the dead, had struck down all the men in Edom. 16 Joab and all the Israelites stayed there for six months, until they had destroyed all the men in Edom. 17 But Hadad, still only a boy, fled to Egypt with some Edomite officials who had served his father. 18 They set out from Midian and went to Paran. Then taking people from Paran with them, they went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food. 19 Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage. 20 The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath, whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There Genubath lived with Pharaoh’s own children. 21 While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David rested with his ancestors and that Joab the commander of the army was also dead. Then Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.” 22 “What have you lacked here that you want to go back to your own country?” Pharaoh asked. “Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but do let me go!” 23 And God raised up against Solomon another adversary, Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah. 24 When David destroyed Zobah’s army, Rezon gathered a band of men around him and became their leader; they went to Damascus, where they settled and took control. 25 Rezon was Israel’s adversary as long as Solomon lived, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled in Aram and was hostile toward Israel. 26 Also, Jeroboam son of Nebat rebelled against the king. He was one of Solomon’s officials, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, and his mother was a widow named Zeruah. 27 Here is the account of how he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the terraces[a] and had filled in the gap in the wall of the city of David his father. 28 Now Jeroboam was a man of standing, and when Solomon saw how well the young man did his work, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the tribes of Joseph. 29 About that time Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, and Ahijah the prophet of Shiloh met him on the way, wearing a new cloak. The two of them were alone out in the country, 30 and Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing and tore it into twelve pieces. 31 Then he said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘See, I am going to tear the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand and give you ten tribes. 32 But for the sake of my servant David and the city of Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, he will have one tribe. 33 I will do this because they have[b] forsaken me and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Molek the god of the Ammonites, and have not walked in obedience to me, nor done what is right in my eyes, nor kept my decrees and laws as David, Solomon’s father, did. 34 “‘But I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s hand; I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose and who obeyed my commands and decrees. 35 I will take the kingdom from his son’s hands and give you ten tribes. 36 I will give one tribe to his son so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put my Name. 37 However, as for you, I will take you, and you will rule over all that your heart desires; you will be king over Israel. 38 If you do whatever I command you and walk in obedience to me and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my decrees and commands, as David my servant did, I will be with you. I will build you a dynasty as enduring as the one I built for David and will give Israel to you. 39 I will humble David’s descendants because of this, but not forever.’” 40 Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam fled to Egypt, to Shishak the king, and stayed there until Solomon’s death. 41 As for the other events of Solomon’s reign—all he did and the wisdom he displayed—are they not written in the book of the annals of Solomon? 42 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 43 Then he rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king. 12 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard this (he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon), he returned from[c] Egypt. 3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and the whole assembly of Israel went to Rehoboam and said to him: 4 “Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.” 5 Rehoboam answered, “Go away for three days and then come back to me.” So the people went away. 6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How would you advise me to answer these people?” he asked. 7 They replied, “If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your servants.” 8 But Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 9 He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?” 10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “These people have said to you, ‘Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter.’ Now tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. 11 My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.’” 12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, as the king had said, “Come back to me in three days.” 13 The king answered the people harshly. Rejecting the advice given him by the elders, 14 he followed the advice of the young men and said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from the Lord, to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite. 16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What share do we have in David, what part in Jesse’s son? To your tents, Israel! Look after your own house, David!” So the Israelites went home. 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah, Rehoboam still ruled over them. 18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram,[d] who was in charge of forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death. King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day. 9 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” 5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” 7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything. 10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Yes, Lord,” he answered. 11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.” 13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem. 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name.” 15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.” 17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, 19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. 20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. 21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?” 22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah. 23 After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him, 24 but Saul learned of their plan. Day and night they kept close watch on the city gates in order to kill him. 25 But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall. 1 My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. 2 But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content. 3 Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore. 4 A wicked person listens to deceitful lips; a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue. 5 Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.

1 राजा 11Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) सुलेमान अनि उनकी धेरै पत्नीहरू 11 राजा सुलेमान आइमाईहरूलाई माया गर्दथे। इस्राएल राष्ट्रका नभएतापनि उनी आइमाईहरूलाई धेरै माया गर्दथे। तिनीहरूमा फिरऊनकी छोरी, हित्ती आइमाईहरू अनि मोआब, अम्मोन, एदोम र सीदोनका आइमाईहरू थिए। 2 बितेको समयमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभुले भन्नु भएको थियो, “तिमीहरूले अर्को राष्ट्रका मानिसहरूसँग विवाह गर्नु हुँदैन। यदि तिमीले गर्यौ भने त्यहाँका मानिसहरूले उनीहरूकै देवताहरूको अनुशरण गर्न वाध्य गर्छन्।” तर सुलेमान ती सबै आइमाईहरूको प्रेममा परे। 3 सुलेमानका 700 पत्नीहरू थिए। (यी आइमाईहरू अर्को राष्ट्रका प्रमुखहरूका छोरीहरू थिए।) उनीसँग 300 दासीहरू पनि थिए जो उनका लागि पत्नी जस्तैं नै थिए। उनकी पत्नीहरूले उनलाई परमेश्वरबाट टाढा जान बाध्य गरे। 4 जब सुलेमान बुढा भए, उनकी पत्नीहरूले उनलाई अरू देवताहरूको अनुशरण गर्नु लगाए। सुलेमानले आफ्नो परमप्रभुलाई सम्पूर्ण हृदयले अनुशरण गरेनन् जस्तो उनका पिता दाऊदले गरेका थिए। 5 सुलेमानले सीदोन देवता अश्तारोतको पूजा गरे। अनि सुलेमानले अम्मोनीहरूका घिनलाग्दा देवता मिल्कोमको पूजा गरे। 6 यसकारण सुलेमानले परमप्रभुको सामु अपराध गरे। उनले आफ्नो परमप्रभुको अनुशरण त्यस प्रकार गरेनन् जसरी उनका पिता दाऊदले गरेका थिए। 7 सुलेमानले कमोसको पूजा गर्नका लागि एउटा स्थलको निर्माण गरे। कमोस मोआबीहरूको घृणास्पद देवमूर्ति थियो। सुलेमानले त्यो पूजा-स्थल यरूशलेम छेउको पहाडमा बनाए। त्यसै पहाडमा सुलेमानले मोलेकका लागि पूजा-स्थल बनाए। मोलेक अम्मोनीहरूको घृणास्पद देवमूर्ति थियो। 8 तब सुलेमानले अरू देशका सबै पत्नीहरूका लागि त्यसै नै गरे। उनकी पत्नीहरू धूप बाल्ने गर्दथे अनि आफ्ना देवताहरूलाई बलि चढाउने गर्दथे। 9 सुलेमान परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई पच्छ्याउन देखि टाढिंदै गए। यस कारण परमप्रभु सुलेमानसँग रिसाउनु भयो। परमप्रभु सुलेमानको सामु दुइ पटक देखा पर्नु भएको थियो। 10 परमप्रभुले सुलेमानलाई भन्नु भएको थियो, तिमीले अरू देवताहरूको अनुशरण गर्नु हुँदैन। तर सुलेमानले परमप्रभुको आदेश पालन गरेनन्। 11 यसकारण परमप्रभुले सुलेमानलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीले मसित भएको करार भत्ताभुङ्ग बनाउन मन परायौ। तिमीले मेरो आदेश पालन गरेका छैनौ। यसकारण म प्रतिज्ञा गर्दछु, म तिमीबाट राज्य लिनेछु। म यसलाई तिम्रा सेवकहरू मध्ये एक जनालाई दिनेछु। 12 तर म तिम्रा पिता दाऊदको कारण जबसम्म तिमी जीवित रहन्छौ, म तिम्रो राज्य लिने छैन। म तिम्रो छोरा राजा नभएसम्म पर्खिनेछु तब म तिनीबाट लिने छु। 13 तैपनि, म तिम्रो छोराबाट सबै राज्य लिने छैन। म एउटा वंशमाथि शासन गर्न दिनेछु। म यसो दाऊदका लागि नै गर्नेछु। तिनी राम्रा सेवक थिए। अनि म यो यरूशलेमका लागि गर्नेछु। मैले मन पराएको शहर यो नै थियो।” सुलेमानका शत्रुहरू 14 त्यस समयमा परमप्रभुले एदोमका हददलाई सुलेमानको शत्रु बनाउनु भयो। हदद एदोमका राजाको परिवारका थिए। 15 यस्तो यसरी नै भयो। पहिला दाऊदले एदोमलाई परास्त गरेका थिए। योआब दाऊदको फौजका सेनापति थिए। योआब एदोममा मरेका मानिसहरू गाड़न गए। योआबले अझै जिउँदै रहेका सबै मानिसहरूलाई मारे। 16 योआब अनि सबै इस्राएलीहरू एदोममा छः महिना बसे। त्यस समयमा तिनीहरूले एदोमका सबै मानिसहरूलाई मारिदिए। 17 तर त्यस समयमा हदद मात्र सानो केटा थियो। यसकारण हदद मिश्रतिर भाग्यो। उसको पिताका केही सेवकहरू ऊसँगै गए। 18 तिनीहरूले मिद्यान छोडे अनि पारान गए। पारानमा केही अरू मानिसहरू तिनीहरूसँग मिसिए। तब सम्पूर्ण दल मिश्र गए। तिनीहरू मिश्रका राजा फिरऊनकहाँ गए अनि गुहार मागे। फिरऊनले हददलाई एउटा घर अनि केही जग्गा दिए। फिरऊनले उनलाई समर्थन गरे अनि खानका लागि खाद्य दिए। 19 फिरऊनले हददलाई साह्रै नै मन पराए। उसले उसको विवाहको व्यावस्था गरिददिए फिरऊनकी साली थिइन् रानी तहपनेसकी बहिनी थिइन्। 20 यसकारण तहपनेसकी बहिनीको विवाह हददसँग भयो। तिनीहरूको एउटा छोरा जन्मियो जसको नाउँ गनूबत राखे। रानी तहपनेसले गनूबतलाई आफ्ना नानीहरूसँग फिरऊनको महलमा हुर्किने अनुमति दिइन्। 21 मिश्रमा हददले सुने, दाऊदको चोला उठ्यो। उनले यो पनि सुने, फौजका सेनापति योआबको मृत्यु भयो। यसकारण हददले फिरऊनलाई भने, “दयागरी मलाई मेरो देशमा आफ्नो घर जान दिनुहोस्।” 22 तर फिरऊनले भने, “मैंले तिमीलाई चाहिएको प्रत्येक वस्तु यहाँ दिएको छु! तिमी किन तिम्रो देशमा फर्किन चाहन्छौ?” हददले उत्तर दिए, “कृपा गरेर मलाई घर फर्किन दिनुहोस्।” 23 परमेश्वरले अर्को एक जना मानिसलाई पनि सुलेमानको शत्रु बनाउनुभयो। उनी एल्यादाका छोरा रसोन थिए। रसोन आफ्नो मालिकबाट भागेका थिए। उनका मालिक सोबाका राजा हददेजेर थिए। 24 दाऊदले जब सोबाको सैनिकलाई परास्त गरेका थिए तब रसोनले केही मानिसहरूलाई जम्मा गरे अनि एउटा सानो फौजको प्रमुख भए। रसोन दमीशक गए अनि उहीं बसे। रसोन दमीशकका राजा भए। 25 रसोनले अराममा शासन गरे। उनी इस्राएलीलाई घृणा गर्दथे, यसकारण सुलेमान जीवित रहुन्जेलसम्म इस्राएलको शत्रु भए। रसोन र हददले इस्राएलका लागि धेरै समस्याहरू सृष्टि गरे। 26 नबातका छोरा यारोबाम सुलेमानका सेवकहरू मध्ये एक जना थिए। यारोबाम एप्रैम कुल समूहका थिए। उनी सरेदा शहरका थिए। यारोबामकी आमा सरूआ नाउँकी विधवा थिइन। उनी राजाको विरोधमा गईन्। 27 यही कारण हो कसरी यरोबाम राजाको विरूद्ध बागी भए। सुलेमानले मिलो बनाउँदै थिए अनि आफ्ना पिताको नाउँमा बनिएको दाऊदको शहरको पर्खाल भित्रको खाली जग्गा मर्मत गराउँदै थिए। 28 यारोबाम एकदमै योग्यवान व्यक्ति थिए। सुलेमानले यारोबाम एकदमै परिश्रमी भएको थाहा पाउनुभयो। यस कराण सुलेमानले यारोबामलाई यूसुफको कुल समूहको कर्मीहरूको जिम्मावाल बनाए। 29 एक दिन यारोबाम यरूशलेम यात्रा गरिरहेका थिए। शीलोका अगमवक्ता अहियाहले उनलाई बाटोमा भेटे। अहियाहले नयाँ खास्टो ओढेका थिए। ती दुइ जना मानिस बाटोमा एक्लै थिए। 30 अहियाहले खास्टो खोले अनि च्यातेर बाह्र टुक्रा पारे। 31 तब अहियाहले यारोबामलाई भने, “यस खास्टोको दश टुक्रा तिमी आफ्नोलागि लेऊ। परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छः ‘म सुलेमानको राज्यलाई टुक्राउनेछु अनि तँलाई दश कुलहरू दिनेछु। 32 अनि म दाऊदको परिवारलाई मात्र एउटा वंशमाथि शासन गर्न दिनेछु। म तिनीहरूलाई यस वंशलाई मात्र लिन दिनेछु। म यो सब मेरो सेवक दाऊद अनि यरूशलेमका लागि गर्नेछु। यरूशालेम त्यो शहर हो जसलाई इस्राएलका सबै कुलहरूबाट रोजेको थिएँ। 33 म राज्यलाई सुलेमानबाट लिनेछु किनभने उसले मेरो अनुशरण गर्न छोडेको छ। ऊ सीदोनकी अश्तारोको पूजा गर्दैछ। ऊ मोआबका देवता कमोस अनि अम्मोनी देवता मिल्कोमको पूजा गर्दैछ। सुलेमानले साँच्चो र राम्रो काम गर्न छोडिसकेको छ। ऊ मेरो विधि-विधान र आदेशको पालन गर्दैन। ऊ त्यस प्रकार हिँडेन जसरी उसका पिता दाऊद हिंडेका थिए। 34 यसकारण नै सुलेमानको कुलबाट राज्यलाइ लिनेछु। तर म सुलेमानलाई उसको रहल जीवन सम्म शासन गर्न दिनेछु। यो म मेरो सेवक दाऊदका लागि गर्नेछु। मैले दाऊदलाई मन पराएँ किनभने उनले मेरो सबै आदेश र नियमहरू पालन गरे। 35 तर म उसको छोराबाट राज्यलाई लिनेछु अनि यारोबाम म तिमीलाई दशवटा कुलहरूमाथि शासन गर्ने अनुमति दिनेछु। 36 म सुलेमानको छोरालाई एउटा वंशमाथि मात्र शासन गर्ने अनुमति दिनेछु। म यसो यसकारण गर्छु किनभने मेरो सेवक दाऊदको शासन यरूशलेममा मेरोअघि सधैँ रहनेछ। यरूशलेमलाई मैंले आफ्नो शहर रोजेको थिएँ। 37 तर म तिमीले चाहेको प्रत्येक कुरामथि तिमीलाई शासन गर्ने मौका दिनेछु। तिमी सम्पूर्ण इस्राएल माथि शासन गर्नेछौ। 38 यी सबै काम म तिम्रो लागि गर्नेछु यदि तिमीले मेरो आदेश पालन गर्यो सबै मेरो आदेशहरू मान्यो भने, यदि तिमी दाऊदले गरे जस्तैं मेरो सबै नियम र आदेशहरू पालन गर्यो भने, म तँ सित हुनेछु अनि तेरो सन्तानहरूलाई तँ पछि मैले दाऊदलाई गरे जस्तैं शासन गर्न अनुमति दिनेछु! म इस्राएललाई तँलाई सुम्पनेछु। 39 म दाऊदका सन्ताहरूलाई दण्ड दिनेछु किन भने सुलेमानले यस्तो कार्य गर्यो। तर म तिमीहरूलाई कहिले पनि दण्ड दिने छैन।’” सुलेमानको मृत्यु 40 सुलेमानले यारोबामलाई मार्ने चेष्टा गरे। तर यारोबाम भागेर मिश्र गए। तिनी मिश्रका राजा शीशककहाँ गए। यारोबाम त्यहाँ सुलेमानको मृत्यु नहुन्जेलसम्म बसें। 41 सुलेमानले आफ्नो शासन कालमा धेरै महान् अनि विवेकपूर्ण काम गरेका थिए। यी सबै काम सुलेमानको इतिहास नाउँक पुस्तकमा लेखिएका छन्। 42 सुलेमानले सारा इस्राएलमाथि यरूशलेमा चालीस बर्षसम्म शासन गरे। 43 सुलेमानको मृत्यु पछि उनलाई उनका पूर्खाहरू सँगै गाडीयो। आफ्ना पिता दाऊदको नाउँ भएको दाऊद शहरमा उनलाई गाडीयो। तब सुलेमानका छोरा रहबाम उनीपछि अर्को राजा भए।
