And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah, the God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,

1 Kings 11 : 11 (ASV)

Wherefore Jehovah said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy fathers sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

And Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces.

1 Kings 11 : 32 (ASV)

(but he shall have one tribe, for my servant Davids sake and for Jerusalems sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel);

1 Kings 11 : 33 (ASV)
