1 Kings 11:4-13

4For it came about, as Solomon grew old, that his wives led his heart away after other gods, so that his heart was no longer wholly devoted to Adonai his God, unlike the heart of his father David.

5For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

6So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of Adonai and did not fully follow after Adonai, unlike his father David.

7At that time Solomon also built a high place for Chemosh, the detested thing of Moab, on the mountain near Jerusalem, as well as for Molech the detested thing of the children of Ammon.

8Thus he did for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and offering sacrifices to their gods.

9So Adonai became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from Adonai, the God of Israel—who had appeared to him twice.

10He had commanded him about this, that he should not go after other gods, yet he did not keep what Adonai had commanded.

11So Adonai said to Solomon: “Since you have done this and did not keep My covenant and My statutes that I commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.

12Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it away from the hand of your son.

13Yet I will not tear away the whole kingdom, but will give one tribe to your son for My servant David ‘s sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.”
