1 Kings 11:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:11

Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon
Not in a vision, as before, but by a prophet; the Jews say ^F14, Ahijah the Shilonite, which is probable, see ( 1 Kings 11:29 )

forasmuch as this is done of thee, that thou hast not kept my covenant
and my statutes which I have commanded thee;
but broke them by his idolatry:

I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and I will give it to thy
servant;
meaning Jeroboam, who was not only a subject, but in office under him, ( 1 Kings 11:26 1 Kings 11:28 ) .

10 et praeceperat de verbo hoc ne sequeretur deos alienos et non custodivit quae mandavit ei Dominus

11 dixit itaque Dominus Salomoni quia habuisti hoc apud te et non custodisti pactum meum et praecepta mea quae mandavi tibi disrumpens scindam regnum tuum et dabo illud servo tuo

12 verumtamen in diebus tuis non faciam propter David patrem tuum de manu filii tui scindam illud

13 nec totum regnum auferam sed tribum unam dabo filio tuo propter David servum meum et Hierusalem quam elegi
