10 and ahad 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, aI will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your bservant.
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.
13 aHowever I will not tear away the whole kingdom; I will give bone tribe to your son cfor the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem dwhich I have chosen.”
