What does 1 Kings 11:33 mean?

because the people have turned away from me. They’ve worshiped other gods—Astarte from Sidon, Chemosh from Moab, and Milcom from Ammon. They haven’t stuck to my ways or done what I told David to do, which was to live with integrity and follow my commands. 1 Kings 11:33 - Modern Text Bible

(God explains why he’s taking the kingdom away: the people abandoned him for other gods and didn’t live the way David did.)
