Now (A)the Lord was angry with Solomon (B)because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, (C)who had appeared to him twice, 10 and (D)had commanded him regarding this thing, that he was not to follow other gods; but he did not comply with what the Lord had commanded. 11 So the Lord said to Solomon, “Since [a]you have done this, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, (E)I will certainly tear the kingdom away from you, and will give it to your servant. 12 However, I will not do it in your days, only for the sake of your father David; but I will tear it away from the hand of your son. 13 Yet (F)I will not tear away all the kingdom, but (G)I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David, and (H)for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

  1. 1 Kings 11:11 Lit this has happened with you

And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah, the God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice, 10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which Jehovah commanded. 11 Wherefore Jehovah said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this [a]is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. 12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. 13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.
