1 Kings 11:34-38
34Howbeit I will not takeH3947 the whole kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027: but I will makeH7896 him princeH5387 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416 for DavidH1732 my servant’sH5650 sake, whom I choseH977, because he keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708:
35But I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 out of his son’sH1121 handH3027, and will giveH5414 it unto thee, even tenH6235 tribesH7626.
36And unto his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may have a lightH5216 alwayH3117 beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 me to putH7760 my nameH8034 there.1
37And I will takeH3947 thee, and thou shalt reignH4427 according to all that thy soulH5315 desirethH183, and shalt be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
38And it shall be, if thou wilt hearkenH8085 unto all that I commandH6680 thee, and wilt walkH1980 in my waysH1870, and doH6213 that is rightH3477 in my sightH5869, to keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, as DavidH1732 my servantH5650 didH6213; that I will be with thee, and buildH1129 thee a sureH539 houseH1004, as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 unto thee.
