1 Kings 11:4-13
4For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with YhwhH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 5For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the SidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.1 6And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068, and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 YhwhH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1.2 7Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. 8And likewise didH6213 he for all his strangeH5237 wivesH802, which burnt incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 unto their godsH430.
9And YhwhH3068 was angryH599 with SolomonH8010, because his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 from YhwhH3068 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 YhwhH3068 commandedH6680. 11Wherefore YhwhH3068 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 servantH5650.3 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.
