1 Kings 11:32-36
32(1but he will have one tribe, for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, 2the city which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel),
33because they have forsaken Me, and 3have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, 4Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon; and they have not walked in My ways, doing what is right in My sight and observing My statutes and My ordinances, as his father David did.
34Nevertheless I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him 5ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of My servant David whom I chose, who observed My commandments and My statutes;
35but 6I will take the kingdom from his son’s hand and give it to you, even ten tribes.
36But 7to his son I will give one tribe, 8that My servant David may have a lamp always before Me in Jerusalem, 9the city where I have chosen for Myself to put My name.
