1 Kings 11:29-40

29It cameH1961 about at that timeH6256, when JeroboamH3379 wentH3318 out of JerusalemH3389, that 1the prophetH5030 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 foundH4672 him on the roadH1870. Now 2Ahijah had clothedH3680 himself with a newH2319 cloakH8008; and bothH8147 of them were aloneH905 in the fieldH7704. 30Then 3AhijahH281 tookH8610 holdH8610 of the newH2319 cloakH8008 whichH834 was on him and toreH7167 it into twelveH8147H6240 piecesH7168. 31He saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, “TakeH3947 for yourself tenH6235 piecesH7168; for thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘BeholdH2009, 4I will tearH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of the handH3027 of SolomonH8010 and giveH5414 you tenH6235 tribesH7626 32(5but he will haveH1961 oneH259 tribeH7626, for the sakeH4616 of My servantH5650 DavidH1732 and for the sakeH4616 of JerusalemH3389, 6the cityH5892 whichH834 I have chosenH977 from allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478), 33becauseH3282H834 they have forsakenH5800 Me, and 7have worshipedH7812 AshtorethH6252 the goddessH430 of the SidoniansH6722, 8ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of MoabH4124, and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983; and they have not walkedH1980 in My waysH1870, doingH6213 whatH3477 is rightH3477 in My sightH5869 and observing My statutesH2708 and My ordinancesH4941, as his fatherH1 DavidH1732 did. 34Nevertheless I will not takeH3947 the wholeH3605 kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027, but I will makeH7896 him 9rulerH5387 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2425, for the sakeH4616 of My servantH5650 DavidH1732 whomH834 I choseH977, whoH834 observedH8104 My commandmentsH4687 and My statutesH2708; 35but 10I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 from his son’sH1121 handH3027 and giveH5414 it to you, even tenH6235 tribesH7626. 36But 11to his sonH1121 I will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, 12that My servantH5650 DavidH1732 may haveH1961 a lampH5215 alwaysH3605H3117 beforeH6440 Me in JerusalemH3389, 13the cityH5892 whereH834H8033 I have chosenH977 for Myself to putH7760 My nameH8034. 37I will takeH3947 you, and you shall reignH4427 over whateverH3605H834 14you desireH183, and you shall be kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478. 38Then it will be, that ifH518 you listenH8085 to allH3605 that I commandH6680 you and walkH1980 in My waysH1870, and doH6213 whatH3477 is rightH3477 in My sightH5869 by observingH8104 My statutesH2708 and My commandmentsH4687, as My servantH5650 DavidH1732 didH6213, then 15I will be with you and 16buildH1129 you an enduringH539 houseH1004 as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and I will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 to you. 39Thus I will afflictH6031 the 17descendantsH2233 of DavidH1732 for thisH2088, but not alwaysH3605H3117.’” 40SolomonH8010 soughtH1245 therefore to putH4191 JeroboamH3379 to deathH4191; but JeroboamH3379 aroseH6965 and fledH1272 to EgyptH4714 to 18ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and he was in EgyptH4714 untilH5704 the deathH4194 of SolomonH8010.
