9 Na Awurade bo fuu Salomo, ɛfiri sɛ, nʼakoma adane afiri Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, a wada ne ho adi akyerɛ no mprenu no ho.
10 Ɔbɔɔ Salomo kɔkɔ sɛ ɔnni anyame foforɔ akyi, nanso Salomo anni Awurade ahyɛdeɛ so.
11 Enti, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Salomo sɛ, “Esiane sɛ woanni mʼapam so, na woapo me mmara enti, ampa ara, mɛte ahemman no afiri wo ho, na mede ama wʼasomfoɔ no mu baako.
12 Nanso, ɛsiane wʼagya Dawid enti, merenyɛ saa ɛberɛ a wote ase. Mɛgye ahemman no afiri wo babarima nsam.

18 Wɔdwane firii Midian kɔɔ Paran. Paran hɔ na ebinom kɔkaa wɔn ho. Afei, wɔkɔɔ Misraim, Farao nkyɛn, na ɔmaa wɔn baabi a wɔbɛtena, aduane ne asase.

29 Ɛda bi a Yeroboam refiri Yerusalem no, ɔhyiaa odiyifoɔ Ahiya, Siloni, wɔ ɛkwan so a ɔhyɛ atadeɛ foforɔ. Na wɔn baanu nko na wɔwɔ wiram hɔ.
30 Ɛhɔ na Ahiya worɔɔ nʼatadeɛ foforɔ a na ɛhyɛ no no, tetee mu asinasini dumienu.

32 Na ɛsiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ne Yerusalem a mayi afiri Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa mu no enti, mɛgya no abusua baako.
33 Ɛfiri sɛ, Salomo agya me hɔ, akɔsom Astoret a ɔyɛ Sidonfoɔ nyamebaa ne Kemos a ɔyɛ Moabfoɔ nyame ne Amonfoɔ nyame Molek. Wamfa mʼakwan so anyɛ deɛ ɛsɔ mʼani. Wanni me mmara ne mʼahyɛdeɛ so te sɛ nʼagya Dawid.
34 “‘Nanso, merennye ahemman no nyinaa mfiri Salomo nsam saa ɛberɛ yi. Esiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid, deɛ meyii no no, na ɔtiee mʼahyɛdeɛ, dii me mmara so no enti, mɛma Salomo adi adeɛ mfeɛ a aka no wɔ ne nkwa mu.
35 Na mɛgye ahemman no afiri ne babarima nsam, na mede mmusuakuo no mu edu ama wo.

39 Nanso, ɛsiane Salomo bɔne a wayɛ enti, mɛtwe Dawid asefoɔ aso, nanso ɛrenyɛ afebɔɔ.’”
40 Salomo pɛɛ sɛ ɔkum Yeroboam, nanso ɔdwane kɔɔ Misraim, Misraimhene Sisak nkyɛn, kɔsii sɛ Salomo wuiɛ.
