Melachim Alef 11:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 11:10

And had commanded him concerning this thing that he should not
go after other gods
Which is another aggravation of his sin that it was against an express command of God, and was particularly given him, and he was warned to observe it, and threatened with evil should he break it:

but he kept not that which the Lord commanded:
see ( 1 Kings 9:5-7 ) .

Melachim Alef 11:10 In-Context

8 And likewise did he for all his nashim nokhriyyot, which burned ketoret and offered zevakhim unto their elohim.
9 And Hashem was angry with Sh’lomo, because levavo was turned from Hashem Elohei Yisroel, Who had appeared unto him twice,
10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after elohim acherim; but he was not shomer over that which Hashem commanded.
11 Wherefore Hashem said unto Sh’lomo, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not been shomer over My Brit (Covenant, Sinai Covenant) and My chukkot, which I have commanded thee, I will surely tear away the Mamlachah from thee, and will give it to thy eved (servant, that is, Yarov’am ben Nevat, see v. 26).
12 Notwithstanding in thy yamim I will not do it lema’an (for the sake of) Dovid Avicha; but I will tear it out of the yad binecha (power of thy son).
