1 Kings 11:9-14

9And the LordH3068 was angryH599 with SolomonH8010, because his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 from the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which had appearedH7200 unto him twiceH6471, 10And had commandedH6680 him concerning this thingH1697, that he should not goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: but he keptH8104 not that which the LordH3068 commandedH6680. 11Wherefore the LordH3068 saidH559 unto SolomonH8010, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not keptH8104 my covenantH1285 and my statutesH2708, which I have commandedH6680 thee, I will surelyH7167 rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 from thee, and will giveH5414 it to thy servantH5650.1 12Notwithstanding in thy daysH3117 I will not doH6213 it for DavidH1732 thy father’sH1 sake: but I will rendH7167 it out of the handH3027 of thy sonH1121. 13HowbeitH7535 I will not rend awayH7167 all the kingdomH4467; but will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121 for DavidH1732 my servant’sH5650 sake, and for Jerusalem’sH3389 sake which I have chosenH977.

14And the LordH3068 stirred upH6965 an adversaryH7854 unto SolomonH8010, HadadH1908 the EdomiteH130: he was of the king’sH4428 seedH2233 in EdomH123.
