Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹¹ Then the Lord said to Solomon, ‘Since you have done this^[a] and did not keep my covenant and my statutes, which I commanded you, I will tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.^{(A) 12} However, I will not do it during your lifetime for the sake of your father David;^(B) I will tear it out of your son’s hand. ¹³ Yet I will not tear the entire kingdom away from him. I will give one tribe to your son^(C) for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem that I chose.’
