1 Kings 11:4-13
4And it came to pass when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other 1gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his 2God, as the heart of David his father.
5And Solomon went after Ashtoreth the 3goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6And Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed not fully Jehovah, as David his father.
7Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, on the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their 4gods.
9And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah the 5God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10and had commanded him concerning this thing, not to go after other 6gods; but he kept not what Jehovah had commanded.
11And Jehovah said to Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I commanded thee, I will certainly rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant:
12notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake; I will rend it out of the hand of thy son;
13only, I will not rend away all the kingdom: I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.
