1 Kings 11:34-36

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁴ However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; but I will make him ruler all the days of his life for David My servant’s sake, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and My statutes.

³⁵ But I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and give it to you, ten tribes.

³⁶ Yet to his son I will give one tribe, that David My servant may always have a light before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen to put My Name.
