3 Na ɔwɔ yerenom ahanson ne mpenanom ahaasa. Na ampa ara wɔtwee ne kra fii Awurade ho.
4 Bere a Salomo bɔɔ akwakoraa no, wɔtwee ne koma kɔɔ anyame afoforo so, na wamfa ne ho anto Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn so, sɛnea nʼagya Dawid yɛe no.
5 Salomo dii Sidonfo bosombea Astoret ne Amonfo nyame Molek a na wokyi no no akyi.
6 Enti Salomo yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wanni Awurade akyi, sɛnea nʼagya Dawid yɛe no.

9 Na Awurade bo fuw Salomo, efisɛ ne koma adan afi Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, a wada ne ho adi akyerɛ no mprenu no ho.
10 Ɔbɔɔ Salomo kɔkɔ sɛ onni anyame afoforo akyi, nanso Salomo anni Awurade ahyɛde so.
11 Enti Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Salomo se, “Esiane sɛ woanni mʼapam so, na woapo me mmara nti, ampa ara, mɛtew ahemman no afi wo ho, na mede ama wʼasomfo no mu baako.
12 Nanso esiane wʼagya Dawid nti, merenyɛ saa bere a wote ase. Megye ahemman no afi wo babarima nsam.
13 Ɛno mpo, mɛma wadi abusuakuw baako so, esiane me somfo Dawid ne kuropɔn Yerusalem a mayi asi hɔ no nti.”
14 Na Awurade pagyaw Edomni Hadad a na ofi Edom adehyebusua mu, sɛ ɔnyɛ ɔtamfo ntia Salomo.

20 Ɔne no woo ɔbabarima a wɔtoo no din Genubat, na wɔtetew no fraa Farao mmabarima mu wɔ Farao ahemfi.
21 Bere a Hadad tee wɔ Misraim sɛ Dawid ne ne sahene Yoab awuwu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Farao se, “Ma mensan nkɔ mʼankasa me man mu.”
22 Farao bisaa no se, “Adɛn? Dɛn na ɛho hia wo wɔ ha? Dɛn ho na yɛadi wo huammɔ a nti wopɛ sɛ wokɔ wo kurom?” Obuae se, “Biribiara nkɔɔ bɔne, nanso kɔ ara na mepɛ sɛ mekɔ fie.”
23 Onyankopɔn pagyaw Eliada babarima Reson nso ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔtamfo tiaa Salomo. Reson guan fii ne wura ɔhene Hadadeser a ofi Soba nkyɛn

27 Nʼatuatew no nkyerɛase ni: Na Salomo rekyekyere Milo, na ogu so resiesie nʼagya Dawid kurow no afasu no,

29 Da bi a Yeroboam refi Yerusalem no, ohyiaa odiyifo Ahiya, Siloni, wɔ kwan so a ɔhyɛ atade foforo. Na wɔn baanu nko na wɔwɔ wuram hɔ.
30 Ɛhɔ na Ahiya worɔw nʼatade foforo a na ɛhyɛ no no, tetew mu asinasin dumien.
31 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yeroboam se, “Fa asinasin yi mu du, na sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, reka: ‘Merebegye ahemman no afi Salomo nsam, na mede mmusuakuw no mu du bɛma wo.
32 Na esiane me somfo Dawid ne Yerusalem a mayi afi Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa mu no nti, megyaw no abusua baako.
33 Efisɛ Salomo agyaw me hɔ, akɔsom Astoret a ɔyɛ Sidonfo bosombea ne Kemos a ɔyɛ Moabfo nyame ne Amonfo nyame Molek. Wamfa mʼakwan so anyɛ nea ɛsɔ mʼani. Wanni me mmara ne mʼahyɛde so te sɛ nʼagya Dawid.
34 “‘Nanso merennye ahemman no nyinaa mfi Salomo nsam saa bere yi. Esiane me somfo Dawid, nea miyii no no, na otiee mʼahyɛde, dii me mmara so no nti, mɛma Salomo adi ade mfe a aka no wɔ ne nkwa mu.
35 Na megye ahemman no afi ne babarima nsam, na mede mmusuakuw no mu du ama wo.

40 Salomo pɛɛ sɛ okum Yeroboam, nanso oguan kɔɔ Misraim, Misraimhene Sisak nkyɛn, kosii sɛ Salomo wui.
