Buku Raja-Raja Pertama 11: 4-13

11:4And when now he was old, his heart was perverted by the women, so that he followed strange gods. And his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.
11:5For Solomon worshipped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom, the idol of the Ammonites.
11:6And Solomon did what was not pleasing in the sight of the Lord. And he did not continue to follow the Lord, as his father David did.
11:7Then Solomon built a shrine for Chemosh, the idol of Moab, on the mount that is opposite Jerusalem, and for Milcom, the idol of the sons of Ammon.
11:8And he acted in this manner for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and immolating to their gods.
11:9Dan sebagainya, the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his mind had been turned away from the Lord, Allah Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
11:10and who had instructed him about this matter, lest he follow strange gods. But he did not observe what the Lord commanded to him.
11:11Dan sebagainya, the Lord said to Solomon: “Because you have this with you, and because you have not kept my covenant and my precepts, which I commanded to you, I will tear apart your kingdom, and I will give it to your servant.
11:12Namun sungguh, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David. From the hand of your son, I will tear it away.
11:13Neither will I take away the whole kingdom. Alih-alih, I will grant one tribe to your son, for the sake of David, pelayanku, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

Injil

Tanda 7: 24-30

7:24Dan bangkit, dia pergi dari sana ke daerah Tirus dan Sidon. Dan memasuki sebuah rumah, dia bermaksud agar tidak ada seorang pun yang mengetahuinya, tapi dia tidak bisa tetap bersembunyi.
7:25Untuk seorang wanita yang putrinya kerasukan roh najis, begitu dia mendengar tentang dia, masuk dan sujud di kakinya.
7:26Sebab perempuan itu adalah seorang bukan Yahudi, sejak lahir adalah seorang Siro-Fenisia. Dan dia mengajukan petisi padanya, agar dia dapat mengusir setan itu dari putrinya.
7:27Dan dia berkata padanya: “Pertama, biarkan anak-anak merasa kenyang. Sebab tidak baik mengambil roti milik anak laki-laki dan melemparkannya kepada anjing.”
7:28Tapi dia menjawab dengan berkata padanya: "Tentu, Yang mulia. Namun anjing-anjing muda juga makan, di bawah meja, dari remah-remah anak-anak.”
7:29Dan dia berkata padanya, “Karena pepatah ini, pergi; setan itu telah keluar dari putrimu.”
7:30Dan ketika dia pergi ke rumahnya, dia menemukan gadis itu terbaring di tempat tidur; dan setan itu telah pergi.
