1 Kings 11:29-40

29And it came to pass at that timeH6256 that JeroboamH3379 wentH3318 out of JerusalemH3389, and the prophetH5030 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 foundH4672 him in the wayH1870; and he had clad himself with a newH2319 garmentH8008; and they twoH8147 wereH1961 aloneH905 in the fieldH7704.

30Then AhijahH281 seizedH8610 the newH2319 garmentH8008 that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces;

31and saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, TakeH3947 thee tenH6235 pieces; for thusH3541 saith Jehovah the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Behold, I will rend the kingdomH4467 out of the handH3027 of SolomonH8010, and will giveH5414 tenH6235 tribesH7626 to thee;

32but oneH259 tribeH7626 shall he have for my servantH5650 David's sakeH4616, and for Jerusalem's sakeH4616, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478:

33because they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the 2goddess of the Zidonians, ChemoshH3645 the 3godH430 of the Moabites, and MilcomH4445 the 4godH430 of the children of AmmonH5983, and have not walkedH1980 in my waysH1870, to do that which is rightH3477 in my sight, and my statutesH2708 and mine ordinancesH4941, as DavidH1732 his fatherH1.

34But I will not takeH3947 the whole kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027; for I will makeH7896 him princeH5387 all the daysH3117 of his life for DavidH1732 my servant's sakeH4616, whom I choseH977, who keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708;

35but I will takeH3947 the kingdom out of his son's handH3027, and will giveH5414 it unto thee, — the tenH6235 tribesH7626.

36And unto his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may have a lampH5216 always before me in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 that I have chosenH977 for myself to putH5414 my nameH8034 there.

37And I will takeH3947 thee, that thou mayest reignH4427 over all that thy soulH5315 desireth, and thou shalt beH1961 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.

38And it shall beH1961, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I commandH6680 thee, and wilt walkH1980 in my waysH1870, and do that which is rightH3477 in my sight, in keepingH8104 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, as DavidH1732 my servantH5650 did, that I will beH1961 with thee, and buildH1129 thee a lastingH539 houseH1004, as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 unto thee.

39And I will for this afflictH6031 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732, but not for ever.

40And SolomonH8010 soughtH1245 to killH4191 JeroboamH3379; and JeroboamH3379 aroseH6965 and fledH1272 into EgyptH4714, to ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714; and he wasH1961 in EgyptH4714 until the deathH4191 of SolomonH8010.
