⁴ For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and ^(A)his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, ^(B)as was the heart of David his father.

⁶ So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and did not wholly follow the Lord, as David his father had done.

³⁸ And if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, ^(A)I will be with you and ^(B)will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

⁸ and ^(A)tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you, and yet you have not been ^(B)like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, doing only that which was right in my eyes,

⁵ because ^(A)David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, ^(B)except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
