1 Kings 11:9-13

International Standard Version

⁹ 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]
