1 Kings 11:11-13 "So the Lord said to Solomon, 'Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded to you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates. Nevertheless, for the sake of David your father, I will not do it during your lifetime. I will tear it out of the hand of your son. Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, but will give him one tribe for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen."
Obedience/Disobedience of the Kings:
1 Kings 15:11 "Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David had done."
1 Kings 16:30-31 "Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him. He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him."
