1 Kings 11:30–36

³⁰and Ahijah layeth hold on the new garment that is on him, and rendeth it—twelve pieces, ³¹and saith to Jeroboam, ‘Take to thee ten pieces, for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, I am rending the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and have given to thee the ten tribes, ³²and the one tribe he hath for My servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have fixed on, out of all the tribes of Israel.

³³‘Because they have forsaken Me, and bow themselves to Ashtoreth, goddess of the Zidonians, to Chemosh god of Moab, and to Milcom god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which is right in Mine eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, like David his father.

³⁴‘And I do not take the whole of the kingdom out of his hand, for prince I make him all days of his life, for the sake of David My servant whom I chose, who kept My commands and My statutes; ³⁵and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and given it to thee—the ten tribes; ³⁶and to his son I give one tribe, for there being a lamp to David My servant all the days before Me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to Myself to put My name there.
