9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had iappeared to him twice 10 and had jcommanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not keep what the Lord commanded. 11 Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this has been your practice and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely ktear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant. 12 Yet lfor the sake of David your father I will not do it in your days, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will give mone tribe to your son, for the sake of David my servant and nfor the sake of Jerusalem that I have ochosen.”
