Replacing strings

Hello All,
I have two files with delimited |

file 1 :
1|2|3
11|12|13
22|23|24

and file 2 :
1|4|5|6
11|14|15|16
22|25|26

I want to replace the value '1' in file 2 with the values in file 1 '1|2|3'

so the final output will look like

1|2|3|4|5|6
11|12|13|14|15|16
22|23|24|25|26


any suggestions how I do this in bash shell ?
