1 Kings 11:31-39
31And he saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, “TakeH3947 for yourself tenH6235 piecesH7168; for thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: ‘BeholdH2009, 1I am going to tearH7167 the kingdomH4467 awayH7167 from the handH3027 of SolomonH8010 and giveH5414 you tenH6235 tribesH7626
32(2but he shall haveH1961 oneH259 tribeH7626, for the sakeH4616 of My servantH5650 DavidH1732 and for the sakeH4616 of JerusalemH3389, 3the cityH5892 whichH834 I have chosenH977 from allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478),
33becauseH3282H834 they have abandonedH5800 Me, and 4have worshipedH2331 AshtorethH6252 the goddessH430 of the SidoniansH6722, 5ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of MoabH4124, and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983; and they have not walkedH1980 in My waysH1870, doingH6213 whatH3477 isH3477 rightH3477 in My sightH5869 and keeping 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 rulerH5387 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2425, for the sakeH4616 of My servantH5650 DavidH1732 whomH834 I choseH977, whoH834 keptH8104 My commandmentsH4687 and My statutesH2708;
35but 6I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 from his son’sH1121 handH3027 and giveH5414 it to you; that is, tenH6235 tribesH7626.
36But 7to his sonH1121 I will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, 8soH4616 thatH4616 My servantH5650 DavidH1732 may alwaysH3605H3117 haveH1961 a lampH5215 beforeH6440 Me in JerusalemH3389, 9the cityH5892 whereH834H8033 I have chosenH977 for Myself to putH7760 My nameH8034.
37However I will takeH3947 you, and you shall reignH4427 over allH3605 that 10you desireH183, and you shall be kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478.
38Then it shall be, that ifH518 you listenH8085 to allH3605 that I commandH6680 you and walkH1980 in My waysH1870, and doH6213 whatH3477 isH3477 rightH3477 in My sightH5869 by keepingH8104 My statutesH2708 and My commandmentsH4687, as My servantH5650 DavidH1732 didH6213, then 11I will be with you and 12buildH1129 you an enduringH539 houseH1004 as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and I will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 to you.
39So I will oppressH6031 the 13descendantsH2233 of DavidH1732 for thisH2088, but not alwaysH3605H3117.’”
