New Living Translation
1 Kings 11:9-13
9The Lord was very angry with Solomon, for his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.
10He had warned Solomon specifically about worshiping other gods, but Solomon did not listen to the Lord’s command.
11So now the Lord said to him, “Since you have not kept my covenant and have disobeyed my decrees, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your servants.
12But for the sake of your father, David, I will not do this while you are still alive. I will take the kingdom away from your son.
13And even so, I will not take away the entire kingdom; I will let him be king of one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, my chosen city.”
