5. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Molek, the abomination of the Ammonites.
6. Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and did not fully follow the Lord as his father David had done.
7. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is close to Jerusalem, and for Molek, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8. He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9. The Lord was angry with Solomon because he turned his heart away from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10. and had warned him about this, that he should not follow other gods, but he was disobedient to the Lord’s command.
11. Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, “Since you have done this and have not kept My covenant and statutes, which I commanded you, I will surely take the kingdom from you and give it to your servant.
12. I will not do this in your lifetime for your father David’s sake, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.
13. However, I will not take the whole kingdom away, but will preserve one tribe for your son for David My servant’s sake and for the sake of Jerusalem which I chose.”
