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

Context

6Solomon did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and didn’t go fully after Yahweh, as David his father did.
7Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8So he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he didn’t keep that which Yahweh commanded.
11Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.
12Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days, for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it out of your son’s hand.
