*
And the LORD was angry with Solomon ,
because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel Yisra #
el #,
which had appeared unto him twice pa #
am #,
*
And had commanded him concerning this thing ,
that he should not go after other gods :
but he kept not that which the LORD commanded .
*
Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon ,
Forasmuch as this is done of thee ,
and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes ,
which I have commanded thee ,
I will surely rend the kingdom from thee ,
and will give it to thy servant .
*
Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy fathers sake :
but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son .
*
Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom ;
but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servants sake ,
and for Jerusalems sake which I have chosen .
