Context of 1 Kings 11:39
37I will take you [Jeroboam], and you shall reign over whatever your soul desires; and you shall be king over Israel (the ten northern tribes). 38Then it shall be, that if you listen to all that I command you and walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, keeping and observing My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then I will be with you and build you an enduring house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you. And in this way I will afflict the descendants of David for this (their sin), but not forever.’ ” 40So Solomon attempted to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam set out and escaped to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and stayed in Egypt until Solomon died. 41The rest of the acts of Solomon—and all that he did, and his wisdom—are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
