1 Kings 11:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ God had given him commands about this. ⌞He told him⌟ not to follow other gods. But Solomon did not obey God’s command. ¹¹ The Lord told Solomon, “Because this is your attitude and you have no respect for my promises ^[a] or my laws that I commanded you to keep, I will certainly tear the kingdom away from you. I will give it to one of your servants. ¹² But I will not do it in your lifetime because of your father David. I will tear it away from the hands of your son.
