1 Kings 11:11–17

11

Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, “Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.

12

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

13

However, I will not tear away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to your son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.”
