God’s Word Translation
1 Kings 11:9-13
9So the Lord became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.
10God had given him commands about this. ⌞He told him⌟ not to follow other gods. But Solomon did not obey God’s command.
11The Lord told Solomon, “Because this is your attitude and you have no respect for my promises or my laws that I commanded you to keep, I will certainly tear the kingdom away from you. I will give it to one of your servants.
12But I will not do it in your lifetime because of your father David. I will tear it away from the hands of your son.
13However, I will not tear the whole kingdom away from you. I will give your son one tribe for my servant David’s sake and for the sake of Jerusalem, ⌞the city⌟ that I chose.”
