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^(A) the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand and give you ten tribes.

³² But 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.

¹⁹ So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David^(A) to this day.

²⁰ When all the Israelites heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the house of David.^(A)
