1 Kings 11:31-35

1 Kings 11:31-35

[31] And he said  to Jeroboam,  Take  thee ten  pieces:  for thus saith  the LORD,  the God  of Israel,  Behold, I will rend  the kingdom  out of the hand  of Solomon,  and will give  ten  tribes  to thee: [32] (But he shall have one  tribe  for my servant  David's  sake, and for Jerusalem's  sake, the city  which I have chosen  out of all the tribes  of Israel:)  [33] Because that they have forsaken  me, and have worshipped  Ashtoreth  the goddess  of the Zidonians,  Chemosh  the god  of the Moabites,  and Milcom  the god  of the children  of Ammon,  and have not walked  in my ways,  to do  that which is right  in mine eyes,  and to keep my statutes  and my judgments,  as did David  his father.  [34] Howbeit I will not take  the whole kingdom  out of his hand:  but I will make  him prince  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 will give  it unto thee, even ten  tribes.
