For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6
And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
7
Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8
And likewise did he for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
9
And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice
10
and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.

13
However I will not rend away all the kingdom, but will give one tribe to thy son for David My servant's sake and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen."
