1 Kings 11:9-14
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[9] Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, [10] and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he didn't keep that which Yahweh commanded. [11] Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, Because this is done of 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] Notwithstanding in your days I will not do it, for David your father's sake: but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. [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. [14] Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
