1 Kings 11:32–38

³²But for the sake^a of my servant David and the city of Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, he will have one tribe. ³³I will do this because they have^b forsaken me and worshiped^b Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Molek the god of the Ammonites, and have not walked^c in obedience to me, nor done what is right in my eyes, nor kept my decrees^d and laws as David, Solomon’s father, did.

³⁴“ ‘But I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s hand; I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose and who obeyed my commands and decrees. ³⁵I will take the kingdom from his son’s hands and give you ten tribes. ³⁶I will give one tribe^e to his son so that David my servant may always have a lamp^f before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put my Name. ³⁷However, as for you, I will take you, and you will rule^g over all that your heart desires;^h you will be king over Israel. ³⁸If you do whatever I command you and walk in obedience to me and do what is rightⁱ in my eyes by obeying my decrees^j and commands, as David my servant did, I will be with you. I will build you a dynasty^k as enduring as the one I built for David and will give Israel to you.
