10. And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods, but he did not do what the Lord commanded.
11. Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, Because you are doing this and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely rend the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant!
12. However, in your days I will not do it, for David your father's sake. But I will rend it out of the hand of your son!
13. However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but will give one tribe to your son for David My servant's sake and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.
