6 Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and he did not follow the Lord unreservedly as David his father had done.
7 Solomon then built a high place to Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, and to Molech, the abomination of the Ammonites, on the mountain opposite Jerusalem.
8 He did the same for all his foreign wives who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9 The Lord became angry with Solomon, because his heart turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice
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.
