1 Kings 11:11-13 ▼

11 So the LORD said to Solomon, |Because you insist on doing these things and have not kept the covenantal rules I gave you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.

12 However, for your father David's sake I will not do this while you are alive. I will tear it away from your son's hand instead.

13 But I will not tear away the entire kingdom; I will leave your son one tribe for my servant David's sake and for the sake of my chosen city Jerusalem.|
