Context of 1 Kings 11:35
33I will do this because he has abandoned me and worshiped Astarte (the goddess of the Sidonians), Chemosh (the god of Moab), and Milcom (the god of Ammon). He has not followed my ways. He did not do what I consider right or keep my laws and decrees as his father David did. 34“I will not take the whole kingdom from him. Instead, I will allow him to be ruler as long as he lives because of my servant David whom I chose, who obeyed my commands and laws. But I will take the kingdom away from his son and give you ten tribes. 36I will give his son one tribe so that my servant David will always have a lamp in my presence in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to place my name. 37“I will choose you so that you can rule everything you desire. You will be king of Israel.

Yet the house of David must be supported; out of it the Messiah would arise. Solomon sought to kill his successor.
