[Mark]

Need to keep reading.

1Ki 11:26 ¶ And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name [was] Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up [his] hand against the king. 


 1Ki 11:27   And this [was] the cause that he lifted up [his] hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, [and] repaired the breaches of the city of David his father. 


 1Ki 11:28   And the man Jeroboam [was] a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph. 


 1Ki 11:29   And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two [were] alone in the field: 


 1Ki 11:30   And Ahijah caught the new garment that [was] on him, and rent it [in] twelve pieces: 


 1Ki 11:31   And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee: 


 1Ki 11:32   (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:) 


 1Ki 11:33   Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do [that which is] right in mine eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my judgments, as [did] David his father. 


 1Ki 11:34   Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes: 


 1Ki 11:35   But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, [even] ten tribes. 


 1Ki 11:36   And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there. 


 1Ki 11:37   And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel. 


 1Ki 11:38   And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do [that is] right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee. 


 1Ki 11:39   And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever. 


 1Ki 11:40   Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. 


 1Ki 11:41 ¶ And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, [are] they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? 


 1Ki 11:42   And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [was] forty years. 


 1Ki 11:43   And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. 


where did Solomon repent? Where did he turn from his wicked ways back to the Lord? It really looks like the Lord is giving Solomons kingdon to Jeroboam. and why?

1Ki 11:33   Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do [that which is] right in mine eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my judgments, as [did] David his father.  .


And than Solomon seeks to kill him, seems Solomon didnt remeber what befell Saul. Again, where is Solomons repentence? Its no where mentioned. He didnt tear down the high places, he didnt stop the sacrifices and worshipping of devils. What did he do?
