1Ukumkani uSolomon wayethanda abafazi abaninzi bezinye iintlanga, nentombi kaFaro, namaMowabhikazi, nama-Amon, namaEdom, namaTsidon, namaHeti; 2bephakathi kweentlanga, abethe uYehova koonyana bakaSirayeli, Ize ningangeni kuzo, nazo zingangeni kuni; 3Waba nabafazi abangamakhulu asixhenxe, amakhosazana, nezithende ezingamakhulu amathathu; abafazi bakhe bayityekisa intliziyo yakhe. 4Ke kaloku kwathi, ngexesha lobudala bukaSolomon, abafazi bakhe bayityekisa intliziyo yakhe ekulandeleni thixo bambi; yaye intliziyo yakhe yayingamlungelanga uYehova uThixo wakhe njengentliziyo kaDavide uyise. 5uSolomon walandela uAshtoreti, uthixokazi wamaTsidon, noMilkom, isikizi loonyana baka-Amon. 6uSolomon wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, akamlandela uYehova ngokupheleleyo njengoDavide uyise. 7uSolomon wamakhela uKemoshe, izothe lakwaMowabhi, entabeni ekufuphi neYerusalem, noMologi, izothe loonyana baka-Amon, isiganga. 8Wenjenjalo ke nakubo bonke abafazi bakhe bezinye iintlanga, ababeqhumisela bebingelela koothixo babo. 9uYehova ke waba nomsindo kuSolomon, ngokuba ibityekile intliziyo yakhe, yemka kuYehova uThixo kaSirayeli, owayezityhile kuye izihlandlo ezibini; 10Wamwisela umthetho ngalo mbandela, ukuba angalandeli thixo bambi, angenzi oko uYehova abemwisele umthetho ngako. 11Wathi ke uYehova kuSolomon, Ekubeni wenze le nto, akwawugcina umnqophiso wam, nemiyalelo yam endakuwiselayo, okwenene, ndiya kubukrazula ubukumkani kuwe, ndibunike umkhonzi wakho. 12Ke andiyi kukwenza oko ngemihla yakho, ngenxa kaDavide uyihlo; kodwa ndiya kubukrazula esandleni sonyana wakho. 13Andiyi kubukrazula bonke ubukumkani; unyana wakho ndimnike isizwe esinye ngenxa kaDavide umkhonzi wam, nangenxa yeYerusalem endiyinyulileyo. 14uYehova wamvelisela uSolomon utshaba, uHadadi umEdom; wayengowoonyana bokumkani wakwaEdom. 15Kwathi, oko uDavide ebekwaEdom, wenyuka uYowabhi, umthetheli-mkhosi, waya kungcwaba ababuleweyo, wawabulala onke amadoda akwaEdom. 16Wahlala apho uYowabhi nawo onke amaSirayeli iinyanga zantandathu, wada wayitshabalalisa yonke into eyindoda yakwaEdom. 17Wabaleka uHadade, enamaEdom kayise, baya eYiputa; Ke uHadade ebengumntwana omncinane. 18Banduluka kwaMidiyan, beza eParan; owamnika indlu, wamnika ukudla, wamnika namasimi. 19uHadade wababalwa kakhulu emehlweni kaFaro, kangangokuba wamnika udade bomkakhe, udade boTahepenesi, ukumkanikazi, ukuba abe ngumkakhe. 20Umsakwabo boTahepenese wamzalela unyana wakhe, uGenubhati, lowo uTahepenase wamanyisa endlwini kaFaro; uGenubhati wahlala endlwini kaFaro phakathi koonyana bakaFaro. 21Weva uHadade eseYiputa, ukuba uDavide ulele kooyise, ufile noYowabhi umthetheli-mkhosi; wathi uHadade kuFaro, Ndindulule ndiye ezweni lakowethu. 22Wathi uFaro kuye, Undikhathalele ngantoni na, ukuba uya kubuyela ezweni lakowenu? Waphendula ke yena wathi, Akukho nto; nangona kunjalo, ndivumele ndihambe nokuba kukweliphi na icala. 23uThixo wamvelisela omnye umchasi onguReson, unyana kaEliyada, owabalekayo phambi koHadadezere, ukumkani waseTsobha, ukumkani wakhe. 24Wabizela kuye amadoda, waba yingqwayi-ngqwayi yamadoda omkhosi, ekuxabeleni kukaDavide iSobha; baya eDamasko, bahlala khona, bayilawula eDamasko. 25Waba lutshaba lukaSirayeli yonke imihla kaSolomon, ngaphandle nje kobubi awabenzayo uHadadi; Wawathiya amaSirayeli, wayelawula kwa-Aram. 26uYerobhoham unyana kaNebhati, umEfrate waseSereda, umkhonzi kaSolomon, ogama likanina lalinguTseruya umhlolokazi, yaye wasiphakamisa isandla sakhe nxamnye nokumkani. 27Nasi isizathu sokuba amphakamisele isandla ukumkani: uSolomon wayesakha iMilo waza walungisa nemijelo yesiXeko sikaDavide uyise. 28Ke loo ndoda inguYarobheham ibiligorha; yaye xa uSolomon wabonayo ukuba umfana lowo wayesebenza nzima, wammisela ukuba abe ngumphathi wayo yonke inkonzo yendlu kaYosefu. 29Ngelo xesha uYerobhoham waphuma eYerusalem, wadibana nomprofeti uAhiya Moshilo endleleni; wambatha ingubo entsha; baye bobabini bebodwa ezweni. 30uAkija wayithabatha loo ngubo intsha abeyinxibile, wayikrazula yaziziqwenga ezilishumi elinazibini. 31Wathi kuYarobheham, Zithabathele iziqwenga zibe lishumi; ngokuba utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Yabona, ndiya kubukrazula ubukumkani esandleni sikaSolomon, ndibunike izizukulwana ezilishumi; 32Kodwa wena uya kuba nesizwe esinye ngenxa kaDavide umkhonzi wam nangenxa yeYerusalem, isixeko endisinyulileyo ezizweni zonke zakwaSirayeli. 33Ndibukrazula ngenxa enokuba bendishiyile mna, baqubuda kuAshtoreti, uthixo wamaMowabhi, nakuMilikom, uthixo woonyana baka-Amon; àbahamba ngeendlela zam, ukuba benze okuthe tye ngeendlela zam, ukuba benze okuthe tye emehlweni am, nemimiselo yam, namasiko am, njengoDavide uyise. 34Kodwa andiyi kubuthabatha bonke ubukumkani esandleni sakhe, kodwa ndiya kumenza ukumkani yonke imihla yobomi bakhe ngenxa kaDavide umkhonzi wam endimnyulileyo, ngenxa yokuba uyigcinile imiyalelo yam nemiyalelo yam inamathele. 35Ndiya kubuthabatha ubukumkani esandleni sonyana wakhe, ndibunike wena izizukulwana ezilishumi; 36unyana wakhe ndimnike isizwe esinye, ukuze kubekho ukukhanya kuDavide, umkhonzi wam, yonke imihla phambi kwam eYerusalem, umzi endiwunyulileyo ukuba alimise khona igama lam. 37Ndiya kukuthabatha, ube ngukumkani kanye njengoko unqwenela umphefumlo wakho, ube ngukumkani wakwaSirayeli. 38Ukuba uthe waphulaphula kuyo yonk’ into endikuyalela yona, wahamba ngeendlela zam, wenze okulungileyo emehlweni am ngokugcina imiyalelo yam emiselweyo nemiyalelo yam, kanye njengoko wenzayo umkhonzi wam uDavide; ukuze ndibe nawe, ndikwakhele indlu eyomeleleyo, njengoko ndamakhelayo uDavide, ndikunike uSirayeli. 39Ngenxa yoko ndiya kuyicinezela inzala kaDavide, kodwa kungekhona ngonaphakade. 40uSolomon wazama ukumbulala uYarobheham. Wagqiba uYarobheham, wasabela eYiputa kuShishaki, ukumkani waseYiputa, wayilawula eYiputa, wada wafa uSolomon. 41Ezinye izinto zikaSolomon, nako konke awakwenzayo, nobulumko bakhe, ndithi, zibhaliwe na encwadini yemicimbi kaSolomon? 42Ixesha awalawula ngalo uSolomon eYerusalem phezu koonyana bakaSirayeli bonke yaba yiminyaka engamashumi amane. 43uSolomon walala kooyise, wangcwatyelwa emzini kaDavide uyise; unyana wakhe uRehobhoham waqalisa ukulawula esikhundleni sakhe.
