1 Kings 11:34-39

1 Kings 11:34-39

[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.  [36] And unto his son  will I give  one  tribe,  that David  my servant  may have a light  alway  before  me in Jerusalem,  the city  which I have chosen  me to put  my name  there. [37] And I will take  thee, and thou shalt reign  according to all that thy soul  desireth,  and shalt be king  over Israel.  [38] And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken  unto all that I command  thee, and wilt walk  in my ways,  and do  that is right  in my sight,  to keep  my statutes  and my commandments,  as David  my servant  did;  that I will be with thee, and build  thee a sure  house,  as I built  for David,  and will give  Israel  unto thee. [39] And I will for this afflict  the seed  of David,  but not for ever.
