1 Kings 11:4-13

4For whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, his wivesH802 turnedH5186 his heartH3824 awayH5186 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430; and 1his heartH3824 was not 2whollyH8003 devotedH8003 to the LordH3068 his GodH430, as the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1 had been. 5For SolomonH8010 wentH1980 afterH310 3AshtorethH6252 the goddessH430 of the SidoniansH6722 and afterH310 45MilcomH4445 the detestableH8251 idolH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984. 6SolomonH8010 didH6213 whatH7451 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, and did not followH310 the LordH3068 fullyH4390, as DavidH1732 his fatherH1 had done. 7ThenH227 SolomonH8010 builtH1129 a highH1116 placeH1116 for 6ChemoshH3645 the detestableH8251 idolH8251 of MoabH4124, on the mountainH2022 whichH834 is 7eastH5921H6440 of JerusalemH3389, and for 8MolechH4432 the detestableH8251 idolH8251 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983. 8ThusH3651 also he didH6213 for allH3605 his foreignH5237 wivesH802, who burnedH6999 incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 to their godsH430.

9Now 9the LordH3068 was angryH599 with SolomonH8010 10becauseH3588 his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 awayH5186 from the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, 11who had appearedH7200 to him twiceH6471, 10and 12had commandedH6680 him concerningH5921 thisH2088 thingH1697, that he should not goH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430; but he did not observeH8104 whatH834 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680. 11So the LordH3068 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, “BecauseH3282H834 13you have doneH1961H5973 thisH2088, and you have not keptH8104 My covenantH1285 and My statutesH2708, whichH834 I have commandedH6680 you, 14I will surelyH7167 tearH7167 the kingdomH4467 from you, and will giveH5414 it to your servantH5650. 12NeverthelessH389 I will not doH6213 it in your daysH3117 for the sakeH4616 of your fatherH1 DavidH1732, but I will tearH7167 it out of the handH3027 of your sonH1121. 13HoweverH7534, 15I will not tearH7167 awayH7167 allH3605 the kingdomH4467, but 16I will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to your sonH1121 for the sakeH4616 of My servantH5650 DavidH1732 and 17for the sakeH4616 of JerusalemH3389 whichH834 I have chosenH977.”
