1 Kings 11:12-14
EasyEnglish Bible

12 But I will not do this while you are alive, because your father David was faithful to me. Instead, I will take the kingdom away from your son. 13 But I will not take away the whole kingdom from him. I will leave one tribe for him to rule as king.[a] I will do this because King David served me faithfully, and because I have chosen Jerusalem as my special city.’
