shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your

heart after their gods: Solomon

Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of

Ammon. And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt

with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God

of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, 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,

…I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy

servant. I King 11:12,13- Notwithstanding in thy days I will

not do it for David thy father's 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
