1 Kings 14:7-9

International Standard Version

‘I raised you up from among the people.

‘I made you Commander-in-Chief^[a] over my people Israel.

⁸ ‘I tore the kingdom away from David’s dynasty.

‘Then I gave it to you.

But you have not lived like my servant David, who kept my commands with all his heart, and did only what I considered to be right.

⁹ ‘Instead, you have done more evil than everyone who lived before you.

‘You have gone out and crafted other gods for yourself.

‘You made cast images.

‘You have provoked me to anger.

‘You have thrown me behind your back.
