1 Kings 11:13 - John Wesley's Notes

1 Kings 11:13

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.”

14 Now the Lord ^araised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was a descendant of the king in Edom.

15 ^aFor it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, ^bafter he had killed every male in Edom

One tribe - Benjamin was not entirely his, but part of it adhered to Jeroboam, as Bethel, I Kings 12:29, and Hephron, II Chronicles 13:19, both which were towns of Benjamin.
