29 And at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet (A)Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had dressed himself in a new garment, and the two of them were alone in the open country. 30 Then Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, (B)and tore it into twelve pieces. 31 And he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, (C)I am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and will give you ten tribes 32 (but (D)he shall have one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, (E)the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), 33 because they have[a] forsaken me (F)and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and they have not walked in my ways, doing what is right in my sight and keeping my statutes and my rules, as David his father did. 34 Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes. 35 (G)But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and will give it to you, ten tribes. 36 Yet to his son (H)I will give one tribe, that David my servant may always have (I)a lamp before me in Jerusalem, (J)the city where I have chosen to put my name. 37 And I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel. 38 And if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, (K)I will be with you and (L)will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

29 About that time Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, and Ahijah(A) the prophet of Shiloh met him on the way, wearing a new cloak. The two of them were alone out in the country, 30 and Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing and tore(B) it into twelve pieces. 31 Then he said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘See, I am going to tear(C) the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand and give you ten tribes. 32 But for the sake(D) 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. 33 I will do this because they have[a] forsaken me and worshiped(E) Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Molek the god of the Ammonites, and have not walked(F) in obedience to me, nor done what is right in my eyes, nor kept my decrees(G) 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. 35 I will take the kingdom from his son’s hands and give you ten tribes. 36 I will give one tribe(H) to his son so that David my servant may always have a lamp(I) before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put my Name. 37 However, as for you, I will take you, and you will rule(J) over all that your heart desires;(K) you will be king over Israel. 38 If you do whatever I command you and walk in obedience to me and do what is right(L) in my eyes by obeying my decrees(M) and commands, as David my servant did, I will be with you. I will build you a dynasty(N) as enduring as the one I built for David and will give Israel to you.
