New Testament

1 Kings 11:7-12 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

7. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

8. So he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9. The Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the 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 didn’t keep that which the Lord commanded.

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

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