1 Kings 11:9-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ So 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. ¹⁰ The Lord had given him the command not to follow other gods, but Solomon did not keep the Lord’s command.

¹¹ So the Lord said to Solomon, “Because this is your attitude, and because you did not keep my covenant and my statutes which I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom out of your hands and give it to your servant. ¹² However, I will not do it during your lifetime because of your father David. I will rip it from your son’s hand. ¹³ But I will not rip away the whole kingdom. One tribe I will give to your son for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”
