New Testament

1 Kings 11:8-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

8. And he did likewise for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9. So the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

10. and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep what the Lord had commanded.

11. Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, “Because you have done this, and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.

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