4And when he was now old, his heart was turned away by women to follow strange gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.

5But Solomon worshipped Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Moloch the idol of the ammonites.

6And Solomon did that which was net pleasing before the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as David his father.

7Then Solomon built a temple for Chamos the idol of Moab, on the hill that is over against Jerusalem, and for Moloch the idol of the children of Ammon.

8And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice to their gods.

9And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his mind was turned away from the Lord the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

10And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not follow strange gods: but he kept not the things which the Lord commanded him.

11The Lord therefore said to Solomon: Because you have done this, and have not kept my covenant, and my instructions, which I have commanded you, I will divide and rend your kingdom, and will give it to your servant.

12Nevertheless in your days I will not do it, for David your father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of your son.

13Neither will I take away the whole kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of David my servant, and Jerusalem which I have chosen.

3Blessed are those that keep judgment, and do righteousness always.

4Remember us, OH Lord, in the favour of your people: visit us with your salvation.

35And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works:

36and served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them.

24And rising from from there he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it, and he could not be hid.

25For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.

26For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

27Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be satisfied: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and cast it to the dogs.

28But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.

29And he said to her: For this saying go your way, the devil is gone out of your daughter.

30And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out.
