10 and commanded him not to do this very thing, not to follow other gods. But he did not observe what the Lord commanded.
11 So the Lord said to Solomon: Since this is what you want, and you have not kept my covenant and the statutes which I enjoined on you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.
12 But I will not do this during your lifetime, for the sake of David your father; I will tear it away from your son’s hand.
13 Nor will I tear away the whole kingdom. I will give your son one tribe for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.
14 The Lord then raised up an adversary against Solomon: Hadad the Edomite, who was of the royal line in Edom.
15 Earlier, when David had conquered Edom, Joab, the commander of the army, while going to bury the slain, killed every male in Edom.
16 Joab and all Israel remained there six months until they had killed off every male in Edom.
