The Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.(A) 10 He had commanded him about this, so that he would not follow other gods, but Solomon did not do what the Lord had commanded.(B)

11 Then the Lord said to Solomon, “Since you have done this[a] and did not keep my covenant and my statutes, which I commanded you, I will tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.(C) 12 However, I will not do it during your lifetime for the sake of your father David;(D) I will tear it out of your son’s hand. 13 Yet I will not tear the entire kingdom away from him. I will give one tribe to your son(E) for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem that I chose.”
