11So Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because this has been with you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.”

12Nevertheless, in your days I will not do it, for the sake of David your father; from the hand of your son I will tear it away.

13Yet I will not tear away the whole kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son, for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.
