1 Kings 11:31-33

English Standard Version

³¹ And he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, ^(A)I am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and will give you ten tribes ³² (but ^(B)he shall have one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, ^(C)the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), ³³ because they have^[a] forsaken me ^(D)and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and they have not walked in my ways, doing what is right in my sight and keeping my statutes and my rules, as David his father did.
