WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 El rey Salomón, además de la princesa egipcia, tuvo muchas mujeres extranjeras: moabitas, amonitas, edomitas, sidonias e hititas.
1 Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites,
2 Así que provenían de pueblos de los cuales el Señor claramente había ordenado a su pueblo: «No se casen con mujeres de esos pueblos, porque ellas los guiarán a adorar a sus dioses falsos». No obstante, Salomón no obedeció.
2 of the nations concerning which Yahweh said to the children of Israel, “You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon joined to these in love.
3 Tuvo setecientas esposas y trescientas concubinas; y ellas hicieron que su corazón se apartara del Señor,
3 He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. His wives turned his heart away.
4 especialmente en su vejez. Fue así como sus mujeres lo llevaron a adorar a sus dioses, en vez de confiar completamente en el Señor, como David su padre había hecho.
4 When Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as the heart of David his father was.
5 Salomón adoró a Astarté, la diosa de los sidonios, y a Moloc, el dios abominable de los amonitas.
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6 Salomón, pues, hizo claramente lo malo y se negó a seguir al Señor. Así que no siguió el ejemplo de su padre.
6 Solomon did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and didn’t go fully after Yahweh, as David his father did.
7 Llegó a edificar un santuario en el monte que está frente a Jerusalén, para Quemós, el depravado dios de Moab, y otro para Moloc, el ídolo abominable de los amonitas.
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 Estas cosas hizo Salomón para sus esposas extranjeras, para que ellas pudieran ofrecer incienso y sacrificios a sus dioses.
8 So he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9 El Señor, Dios de Israel, se enojó con Salomón, pues aunque se le había aparecido dos veces para advertirle que no debería adorar a otros dioses, Salomón no hizo caso.
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 Not in this translation
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 Por eso, el Señor le dijo: «Puesto que no has guardado mi pacto y no has obedecido mis leyes, les quitaré el reino a ti y a tu familia, y se lo daré a uno de tus servidores.
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 Sin embargo, por amor a tu padre David, no lo haré mientras estés vivo. Le quitaré el reino a tu hijo, y aun así, permitiré que sea rey de una tribu, por amor de David, y por amor de Jerusalén, mi ciudad escogida».
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 Not in this translation
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 El Señor hizo que Hadad el edomita, que era miembro de la familia real de Edom, se fortaleciera y se convirtiera en enemigo de Salomón.
14 Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite. He was one of the king’s offspring in Edom.
15 Años antes, cuando David derrotó a los edomitas, Joab, que era el jefe del ejército de Israel, fue a Edom para sepultar a sus hombres muertos en batalla, aprovechó la ocasión para dar muerte a casi todos los varones del país.
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 Seis meses se quedaron Joab y sus soldados en Edom, y acabaron con todos los varones edomitas. Tan solo Hadad, que en ese tiempo era un muchacho, logró escapar a Egipto, junto con algunos funcionarios que habían servido a su padre. Salieron de Madián y fueron a Parán, donde otros se les unieron y los acompañaron a Egipto. Allí el faraón les dio una casa, alimentos y tierras.
16 (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom),
17 Not in this translation
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 Not in this translation
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 se convirtió en uno de los amigos más íntimos del faraón, y este le dio por esposa a la hermana de la reina Tapenés.
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.
20 Ella le dio un hijo, que fue llamado Guenubat, que creció en el palacio del faraón, entre los mismos hijos del faraón.
20 The sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh.
21 Cuando Hadad supo, en Egipto, que David y Joab habían muerto, pidió permiso al faraón para regresar a Edom.
21 When Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.”
22 ―¿Por qué? —le preguntó el faraón—. ¿Qué es lo que te falta aquí? ¿En qué te hemos defraudado? ―Todo es maravilloso —contestó—, pero aun así me gustaría regresar a mi tierra.
22 Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you seek to go to your own country?” He answered, “Nothing, however only let me depart.”
23 Otro de los enemigos de Salomón, a quien Dios levantó con poder, fue Rezón hijo de Eliadá. Rezón fue un servidor de Hadad Ezer, rey de Sobá, pero lo abandonó y huyó del país.
23 God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadadezer king of Zobah.
24 Organizó una banda de delincuentes, y se convirtió en su jefe. Cuando David le mató algunos de sus hombres, Rezón se trasladó a Damasco y se quedó a vivir allí.
24 He gathered men to himself, and became captain over a troop, when David killed them of Zobah. They went to Damascus and lived there, and reigned in Damascus.
25 Fue de ese modo que Rezón llegó a ser rey de Siria. Durante todo el reinado de Salomón, Rezón fue enemigo de Israel. De modo que al daño que le causaba Hadad a Israel se unió el de Rezón.
25 He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, in addition to the mischief of Hadad. He abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
26 Otro jefe rebelde fue Jeroboán hijo de Nabat, que pertenecía a la tribu de Efraín y vivía en Seredá. Su madre era Zerúa, una viuda.
26 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king.
27 Este es el relato de su rebelión: Salomón estaba edificando el terraplén, para reparar los muros de la Ciudad de David. Jeroboán era muy capaz, y cuando Salomón vio que era muy activo y valeroso, lo encargó de vigilar el trabajo obligatorio de los descendientes de la tribu de José.
27 This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of his father David’s city.
28 Not in this translation
28 The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, and he put him in charge of all the labor of the house of Joseph.
29 Un día cuando Jeroboán salía de Jerusalén, el profeta Ahías de Siló (que se había puesto una túnica nueva para la ocasión) lo encontró y lo llamó para conversar con él. Cuando los dos hombres estuvieron solos en el campo,
29 At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the way. Now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and the two of them were alone in the field.
30 Ahías partió su túnica nueva en doce partes
30 Ahijah took the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces.
31 y le dijo a Jeroboán: «Toma diez de estos pedazos, porque el Señor, Dios de Israel dice: “Partiré el reino de manos de Salomón, y a ti te daré diez tribus.
31 He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you
32 Pero le dejaré una tribu por amor a David mi siervo y por amor a Jerusalén, la que he escogido por sobre todas las otras ciudades de Israel.
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 Porque Salomón me ha abandonado y ha adorado a Astarté, la diosa de los sidonios, a Quemós, el dios de Moab, y a Moloc, el dios de los amonitas. No ha seguido mis caminos y no ha hecho lo que considero justo; no ha guardado mis leyes y mis órdenes en la forma en que su padre David lo hizo.
33 because they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.
34 »”Sin embargo, no le quitaré el reino ahora. Por amor a mi siervo David, a quien yo escogí, y que obedeció mis mandamientos, dejaré que Salomón reine por el resto de su vida.
34 “‘However, 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, who kept my commandments and my statutes,
35 Pero le quitaré el reino a su hijo y te entregaré a ti diez de las tribus.
35 but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
36 Su hijo quedará con la tribu restante, de modo que los descendientes de David continuarán reinando en Jerusalén, la ciudad que yo escogí para que sea el lugar en que se rinda culto a mi nombre.
36 I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
37 Yo te pondré en el trono de Israel, y te daré poder absoluto.
37 I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.
38 Si escuchas lo que te digo, andas en mis caminos y haces lo que yo considero recto, obedeciendo mis mandamientos, tal como mi siervo David lo hizo, te bendeciré, y tus descendientes gobernarán en Israel para siempre (una vez hice la misma promesa a David.
38 It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
39 Pero por causa del pecado de Salomón castigaré a los descendientes de David, aunque no para siempre)”».
39 I will afflict the offspring of David for this, but not forever.’”
40 Salomón trató de matar a Jeroboán, pero este huyó a Egipto, y le pidió refugio al rey Sisac, y permaneció allí hasta la muerte de Salomón.
40 Therefore Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 Todo lo relacionado con el reinado de Salomón y su sabiduría está escrito en el libro de los hechos de Salomón.
41 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, aren’t they written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
42 Salomón reinó en Jerusalén cuarenta años,
42 The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
43 y cuando murió fue sepultado en la ciudad de su padre, y su hijo Roboán reinó en su lugar.
43 Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… him Scripture is not silent, but accuses him of being a lover of strange women; for in the beginning of his reign he was inflamed with a desire for wisdom, but after he had attained it through spiritual love, he lost it through carnal lust.
