Melachim Alef 11:10-12

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁰ And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after elohim acherim; but he was not shomer over that which Hashem commanded.

¹¹ Wherefore Hashem said unto Sh’lomo, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not been shomer over My Brit (Covenant, Sinai Covenant) and My chukkot, which I have commanded thee, I will surely tear away the Mamlachah from thee, and will give it to thy eved (servant, that is, Yarov’am ben Nevat, see v. 26).

¹² Notwithstanding in thy yamim I will not do it lema’an (for the sake of) Dovid Avicha; but I will tear it out of the yad binecha (power of thy son).
