1 Kings 11:31-35

31And he saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, TakeH3947 thee tenH6235 piecesH7168: for thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, BeholdH2005, I will rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 outH3027 of the handH3027 of SolomonH8010, and will giveH5414 tenH6235 tribesH7626 to thee:

32(but he shall have one tribeH7626, for my servantH5650 David’sH1732 sakeH4616, and for Jerusalem’sH3389 sakeH4616, the cityH5892 whichH834 I have chosenH977 outH3605 of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478:)

33becauseH3282 that they have forsaken meH3808, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddessH430 of the Zidonians, ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of MoabH4124, and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983; and they have notH3808 walkedH1980 in my waysH1870, to doH6213 that whichH834 is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and to keepH6213 my statutesH2708 and my judgmentsH4941, as didH6213 DavidH1732 his fatherH1.

34Howbeit I will notH3808 takeH3947 the wholeH3605 kingdomH4467 outH3605 of his handH3027: but I will makeH7896 him princeH5387 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH3117, for DavidH1732 my servant’sH5650 sakeH4616, whomH834 I choseH977, becauseH3588 he keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708:

35but I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 outH3027 of his son’sH1121 handH3027, and will giveH5414 it unto thee, evenH853 tenH6235 tribesH7626.
