1 Kings 11:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ The Lord therefore said to Solomon: Because thou hast done this, and hast not kept my covenant, and my precepts, which I have commanded thee, I will divide and rend thy kingdom, and will give it to thy servant.

¹² Nevertheless in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

¹³ Neither will I take away the whole kingdom, but I will give one tribe to thy son for the sake of David my servant, and Jerusalem which I have chosen.
