New Testament

1 Kings 11:10-14 New International Version (NIV)

10. Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the Lord’s command.

11. So the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates.

12. Nevertheless, for the sake of David your father, I will not do it during your lifetime. I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

13. Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, but will give him one tribe for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

14. Then the Lord raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom.
