8 And he acted in this manner for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and immolating to their gods.
9 And so, the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his mind had been turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10 and who had instructed him about this matter, lest he follow strange gods. But he did not observe what the Lord commanded to him.
11 And so, the Lord said to Solomon: 'Because you have this with you, and because you have not kept my covenant and my precepts, which I commanded to you, I will tear apart your kingdom, and I will give it to your servant.
12 Yet truly, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David. From the hand of your son, I will tear it away.
