OET (OET-RV) and I tore the kingdom away from David’s descendants and gave it to you. But you haven’t been like my servant David who obeyed my instructions and followed me with integrity—only doing what he knew that I approved of.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
I tore the kingdom away
(Some words not found in UHB: and,tore_~_away DOM the,kingdom from,house_of Dāvid and,gave,it to/for=you(fs) and=not been like,servant_of,my Dāvid which/who kept commandments_of,my and=which went after,me in=all heart_of,his for=doing only the,right in/on/at/with,sight_of,my )
God forcefully removed most of the kingdom like a person tears a piece of cloth.
followed me
(Some words not found in UHB: and,tore_~_away DOM the,kingdom from,house_of Dāvid and,gave,it to/for=you(fs) and=not been like,servant_of,my Dāvid which/who kept commandments_of,my and=which went after,me in=all heart_of,his for=doing only the,right in/on/at/with,sight_of,my )
Alternate translation: “obeyed me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
with all his heart
(Some words not found in UHB: and,tore_~_away DOM the,kingdom from,house_of Dāvid and,gave,it to/for=you(fs) and=not been like,servant_of,my Dāvid which/who kept commandments_of,my and=which went after,me in=all heart_of,his for=doing only the,right in/on/at/with,sight_of,my )
Here the “heart” refers to a person’s will and desire. Alternate translation: “with all his will” or “with complete commitment”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
what was right in my eyes
(Some words not found in UHB: and,tore_~_away DOM the,kingdom from,house_of Dāvid and,gave,it to/for=you(fs) and=not been like,servant_of,my Dāvid which/who kept commandments_of,my and=which went after,me in=all heart_of,his for=doing only the,right in/on/at/with,sight_of,my )
The eyes represent seeing, and seeing represents thoughts or judgment. Alternate translation: “what I judged to be right” or “what I considered to be right”
14:8-9 Unlike David, who genuinely repented of his sins (2 Sam 12:13; Ps 51:2-4), Jeroboam exceeded his predecessors in doing evil. Despite clear evidence of God’s displeasure and coming judgment (1 Kgs 13:33), he failed to turn from his ways. His sin would bring grave consequences to his family and descendants (13:34; 14:10-11, 14) and, ultimately, to the whole northern kingdom (14:16).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
