Sulaymon Xudodan yuz oʻgiradi
1 Shoh Sulaymon firʼavnning qizidan boshqa yana Moʻablik, Ommonlik, Edomlik, Sidonlik va Xet xalqidan koʻpgina ajnabiy ayollarga koʻngil qoʻydi. 2 Egamiz Isroil xalqiga bu xalqlar haqida gapirib, shunday degan edi: “Ularga qiz bermanglar ham, qiz olmanglar ham. Aks holda, ular koʻnglingizni oʻz xudolariga rom qilib qoʻyadilar.” Sulaymon esa oʻsha ayollarga shahvat bilan yopishdi. 3 Uning yetti yuzta xotini shohlar qizlaridan boʻlib, uch yuzta kanizagi ham bor edi. Xotinlari sababli shoh begona xudolarga yuz burdi. 4 Oxiri shunday boʻldiki, keksaygan chogʻida shohning koʻngli xotinlari tufayli begona xudolarga moyil boʻldi. Dovud oʻzining Egasi Xudoga chin yurakdan bogʻlangan edi, Sulaymon esa otasiga oʻxshamadi. 5 Shunday qilib, Sulaymon Sidon aholisining xudosi Ashtaret, Ommon xalqining makruh xudosi Moʻlaxga sajda qila boshladi. 6 Sulaymon Egamiz oldida qabihliklar qildi. Otasi Dovud Egamizga sodiq qolgan boʻlsa, Sulaymon unday qilmadi. 7 Quddusning sharqidagi tepalikda Moʻab xalqining makruh xudosi Xamoʻshga va Ommon xalqining makruh xudosi Moʻlaxga sajdagoh qurdi. 8 Hamma ajnabiy xotinlari oʻz xudolariga tutatqi tutatib, qurbonliklar keltirishlari uchun shunday qildi.
9-10 Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamiz ikki marta Sulaymonga zohir boʻlgan edi. Shunga qaramay Sulaymon Egamizdan yuz oʻgirdi. Egamizning, begona xudolarga ergashma degan amrini bajo qilmadi. Shuning uchun Egamiz Sulaymondan qattiq gʻazablandi. 11 Egamiz Sulaymonga dedi:
— Modomiki, Sen bilan qilgan ahdimni va senga amr qilgan farmonlarimni bila turib bajarmagan ekansan, Men endi shohlikni sendan tortib olaman va tobe odamlaringdan biriga beraman. 12 Lekin otang Dovudning haqi–hurmati uchun bu ishni sen hayotligingda qilmayman. Shohlikni oʻgʻlingning qoʻlidan tortib olaman. 13 Shunda ham shohlikning hammasini tortib olmayman, qulim Dovudning haqi–hurmati uchun, Oʻzim tanlab olgan Quddus haqi–hurmati uchun bitta qabilani sening oʻgʻlingga qoldiraman.
Sulaymonning dushmanlari
14 Egamiz Sulaymonga Edomlik Hadadni dushman qilib qoʻydi. U Edom shohlari naslidan edi. 15 Ancha oldin Dovud Edomliklar bilan urush qilgan edi. Oʻsha jangda Isroil xalqidan halok boʻlganlarni dafn qilish uchun lashkarboshi Yoʻab Edomga bordi. 16 Isroil lashkari va Yoʻab Edomdagi erkak zotini bitta qoʻymay qirib tashlagunga qadar, olti oy u yerda qolgan edilar. 17 Shunda Hadadga va uning otasiga xizmat qilgan baʼzi Edomliklar Misrga qochib ketishgan edi. Oʻsha paytda Hadad kichkina bola edi. 18 Ular Midiyondan joʻnab, Poronga yetib kelishdi. Porondan ham odamlar ularga qoʻshildilar. Keyin Misrga — Misr shohi firʼavn huzuriga yetib kelishdi. Firʼavn Hadadga uy berdi, oziq–ovqat tayin etdi, yer berdi. 19 Hadad firʼavnning hurmatini qozondi. Firʼavn Hadadga qayinsinglisini — malika Taxpanasning singlisini nikohlab berdi. 20 Xotini Hadadga oʻgʻli Ganuvatni tugʻib berdi. Taxpanas bolani firʼavn xonadonida tarbiya qila boshladi. Ganuvat firʼavn xonadonida uning oʻgʻillari qatorida ulgʻaydi. 21 Hadad Misrda: “Dovud olamdan oʻtibdi, lashkarboshi Yoʻab ham vafot etibdi” degan xabarni eshitgach, firʼavnga dedi:
— Menga ijozat bersalar, oʻz yurtimga ketsam.
22 — Yurtimga ketaman, deysan, nima, mening yonimda biror narsaga muhtojlik sezyapsanmi? — deb soʻradi firʼavn.
— Yoʻq, aslo, lekin baribir, menga ijozat bersalar, — deb turib oldi Hadad.
23 Xudo Razoʻnni ham Sulaymonga dushman qilib qoʻydi. Razoʻn Elyodax deganning oʻgʻli edi. Razoʻn oʻz xoʻjayini, Zoʻvo shohi Hadadzarning dastidan qochib ketgan edi. 24 Dovud Zoʻvoliklarni qirgach , Razoʻn ham atrofiga bir bosqinchi guruhni toʻplab, oʻsha guruhga bosh boʻldi. Soʻng ular Damashqqa borib, u yerda joylashdilar. Damashqda oʻz hukmronligini oʻrnatdilar. 25 U ham Sulaymon hayot paytida Isroilga dushman boʻlib qoldi. Razoʻn Oramda shoh boʻlib turar ekan, Hadad kabi, Isroilga nafrat bilan qarab, doimo dushmanlik qilib keldi.
Yeribom Sulaymonga qarshi isyon koʻtaradi
26 Yana Sulaymonning aʼyonlaridan biri — Efrayim qabilasidan boʻlgan Yeribom degani ham shohga qarshi bosh koʻtardi. U Zarido shahridan Nabat deganning oʻgʻli edi. Yeribomning onasi beva ayol boʻlib, oti Zaruva edi. 27 Yeribom Sulaymonga qarshi bosh koʻtarganining sababi quyidagicha edi: Sulaymon Quddusning sharq tomonidagi Milloni mustahkamlab, otasi Dovud qalʼasining devorlarini tuzattirayotganda, 28 qurilishda gʻayrat bilan ishlayotgan Yeribomga nazari tushdi. Yeribom juda ham qobiliyatli yigit boʻlgani uchun Sulaymon uni Yusuf qabilasidan olingan barcha qarollarga nazoratchi qilib qoʻydi.
29 Bir kuni Yeribom Quddusdan tashqariga chiqqan edi, Shiloʻlik Oxiyo paygʻambar bilan yoʻlda uchrashib qoldi. Oxiyo paygʻambar yangi kiyimlar kiyib olgan ekan. U yerda ikkovidan boshqa hech kim yoʻq edi. 30 Shu payt Oxiyo ustidagi yangi kiyimlarini yechdi–yu, yirtib oʻn ikki boʻlakka boʻlib tashladi. 31 Keyin Yeribomga dedi:
— Oʻzingga oʻn boʻlagini ol. Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamiz ham shunday aytmoqda: “Men Sulaymonning qoʻlidan shohlikni tortib olaman va oʻnta qabilani senga beraman. 32 Qulim Dovudning haqi–hurmati uchun, Isroilning hamma qabilalari orasidan Oʻzim tanlab olgan Quddus shahri haqi–hurmati uchun bitta qabila Sulaymonniki boʻladi. 33 Sulaymon Mendan yuz oʻgirib, Sidonning xudosi Ashtaretga, Moʻabning xudosi Xamoʻshga, Ommonning xudosi Moʻlaxga sajda qila boshladi. Otasi Dovudga oʻxshamadi, oldimda toʻgʻri ishlar qilmadi, farmonlarimga va qonun–qoidalarimga rioya qilmadi, yoʻllarimdan yurmadi. 34 Ammo shohlikni undan tamomila tortib olmayman. Amr va farmonlarimga rioya qilgan va oʻzim tanlab olgan qulim Dovudning haqi–hurmati uchun Sulaymonni umrining oxirigacha shoh qilaman. 35 Shohlikni esa uning oʻgʻlidan tortib olib, oʻnta qabilani senga beraman. 36 Men oʻsha yerda ulugʻlanay deb, Oʻzim uchun Quddus shahrini tanlaganman. Qulim Dovudning chirogʻi Quddusda hech qachon oʻchmasin deb, Sulaymonning oʻgʻliga bitta qabilani beraman. 37 Men seni Isroil shohi qilaman, koʻngling qayerni istasa, oʻsha yerda shohlik qilaverasan. 38 Agar qulim Dovudga oʻxshab aytganlarimga itoat qilsang — yoʻllarimdan yursang, oldimda toʻgʻri ishlar qilsang, farmon va amrlarimga rioya qilsang, Men sen bilan boʻlaman. Isroilni senga berib, Dovudga qilganimday, xonadoning hukmronligini oʻzingdan keyin ham davom ettiraman. 39 Sulaymonning shu qilmishlari evaziga Dovudning naslini tahqirlayman, lekin to abad emas.”
40 Sulaymon Yeribomni oʻldirmoqchi boʻldi. Yeribom esa Misrga — Misr shohi Shishaxning yoniga qochib ketdi. U Sulaymon vafot etguncha Misrda qoldi.
Sulaymonning oʻlimi
41 Sulaymonning boshqa ishlari, butun faoliyati, uning donishmandligi haqida “Sulaymonning ishlari” kitobida yozib qoldirilgan. 42 Sulaymon Quddusda butun Isroil ustidan hukmdor edi. Uning hukmronligi qirq yil davom etdi. 43 Sulaymon olamdan oʻtdi. U otasi Dovud qalʼasida, ota–bobolari yoniga dafn qilindi. Uning oʻrniga oʻgʻli Raxabom shoh boʻldi.
1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; 2 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. 3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 4 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. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 7 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. 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
9 ¶ And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, 10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. 11 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. 12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. 13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.
14 ¶ And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom. 15 For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom; 16 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:) 17 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child. 18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land. 19 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. 20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s household among the sons of Pharaoh. 21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country. 22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise.
23 ¶ And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah: 24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus. 25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
26 ¶ And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon’s servant, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king. 27 And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father. 28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph. 29 And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field: 30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces: 31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee: 32 (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:) 33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father. 34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes: 35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes. 36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there. 37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel. 38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee. 39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever. 40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 ¶ And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? 42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. 43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
