1 Kings 9:6-9 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep commandments and my statues which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them;

Then will I cut off Is'-ra-el out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Is'-ra-el  shall be a proverb and a byword among all people;

And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done this unto this land, and to this house?

And they shall answer. Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of E'-gypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshiped them, and served them; therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.

1 Kings 11:1-13 But king Sol'o-mon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pha'-raoh, women of the Mo'-ab-ites. Am'-mon-ites, E'-dom-ites, Zi'-do'-ni-ans, and Hit-tites;

Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Is'-ra-el, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods; Sol'-o-mon clave unto these in love.

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.

For it came to pass. when Sol'-o-mon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of Da'-vid his father.

For Sol'o-mon went after Ash'-to-reth the goddess of the Zi-do'-ni-ans, and after Mil'-com the abomination of the Am'-mon-ites.

And Sol-o-mon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did Da'-vid his father.

Then did Sol'-o-mom build an high place for Che'-mosh, the abomination of Mo'-ab,  in the hill that is before Je-ru'-sa-lem, and for Mo'-lech, the abomination of the children of Am'-mon.

And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

And the LORD was angry with Sol'-o-mon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Is'-ra-el, which had appeared unto him twice,

And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he kept not that which the LORD commanded,

Wherefore the LORD said unto Sol'-o-mon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statues, 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 Da'-vid  thy father's sake; but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for Da'-vid my servant's sake, and for Je-ru'-sa-lem's sake which I have chosen.

Judges 10:12-14 And the children of Is'ra-el cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Ba'-a-lim.

And the LORD said unto the children of Is'-ra-el, Did not I deliver you from the E-gyp'-tians, and from the Am'-o-rites, from the children of Am'-mon, and for the Phil'-is-tines?

The Zi-do'-ni-ans also, and the A-mal'-ek-ties, and the Ma'-on-ites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out out of their hand.

2 Chronicles 15:1-2 And the Spirit of God came upon Az-a-ri'-ah the son of O'-ded;

And he went onto meet A'-sa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, A'-sa, and all Ju'-dah and Ben'-ja-min; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

2 Chronicles 24:20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zech-a-ri'-ah the son of Je-hoi'-a-da the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto therm, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot  prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
