1 Kings 11:8-12 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. Thus he did for all of his foreign wives, offering incense and sacrificing to their gods.

9. Yahweh was angry with Solomon, for he had turned his heart from Yahweh, the God of Israel who had appeared to him twice.

10. And he had commanded him concerning this matter not to go after other gods, but he did not keep that which Yahweh commanded.

11. So Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because this was with you, and you did not keep my covenant and my ordinances which I have commanded you, I will certainly tear the kingdom from you, and I will give it to your servant.

12. However, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of David your father; from the hand of your son I will tear it away.
