An idolatrous heart is like a cheating heart, and God in his anger would tear the kingdom away from Solomon.

God is angry with the wicked every day, but he sent his one and only Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins and bring us into his eternal kingdom.
In this passage, we see the first covenant God makes to mankind through Noah. This covenant revealed God's unconditional promise of grace. However, Jesus came and gave us a new covenant, one sealed in his blood which would wash our sins away.
