1 Kings 11:34-38
34Nevertheless I will not takeH3947 the wholeH3605 kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027, but I will makeH7896 him 1rulerH5387 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2425, for the sakeH4616 of My servantH5650 DavidH1732 whomH834 I choseH977, whoH834 observedH8104 My commandmentsH4687 and My statutesH2708;
35but 2I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 from his son’sH1121 handH3027 and giveH5414 it to you, even tenH6235 tribesH7626.
36But 3to his sonH1121 I will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, 4that My servantH5650 DavidH1732 may haveH1961 a lampH5215 alwaysH3605H3117 beforeH6440 Me in JerusalemH3389, 5the cityH5892 whereH834H8033 I have chosenH977 for Myself to putH7760 My nameH8034.
37I will takeH3947 you, and you shall reignH4427 over whateverH3605H834 6you 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 7I will be with you and 8buildH1129 you an enduringH539 houseH1004 as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and I will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 to you.
