1 Kings 11:10-12

Contemporary English Version

^9-10 The Lord God of Israel had appeared to Solomon two times and warned him not to worship foreign gods. But Solomon disobeyed and did it anyway. This made the Lord very angry, ¹¹ and he said to Solomon:

You did what you wanted and not what I told you to do. Now I'm going to take your kingdom from you and give it to one of your officials. ¹² But because David was your father, you will remain king as long as you live. I will wait until your son becomes king, then I will take the kingdom from him.
