The Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from Yahweh, 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 because 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) because of my servant David and because of Jerusalem that I chose.”

The Lord became angry at Solomon because his heart wandered away from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice[a] 10 and warned him about this so he would not pursue other gods. But he did not obey what the Lord had commanded, 11 so the Lord told Solomon, “Because you have done this and haven’t kept my covenant and statutes that I commanded you, I’m going to tear the kingdom from you and give it to your servant. 12 I’m not going to do this during your lifetime, for the sake of your father David, but I will tear it out of your son’s control.[b] 13 For the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, I won’t tear away the entire kingdom. I’ll leave one tribe for your son to govern.”[c]
