⁴ As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods,^(A) and his heart was not fully devoted^(B) to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

⁶ So Solomon did evil^(A) in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done.

³⁸ If you do whatever I command you and walk in obedience to me and do what is right^(A) in my eyes by obeying my decrees^(B) and commands, as David my servant did, I will be with you. I will build you a dynasty^(C) as enduring as the one I built for David and will give Israel to you.

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

⁵ For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord and had not failed to keep^(A) any of the Lord’s commands all the days of his life—except in the case of Uriah^(B) the Hittite.
