1 Kings 11:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ So the Lord said to Solomon, “Because ^[a]you have done this, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, ^(A)I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant. ¹² Nevertheless I will not do it in your days for the sake of your father David, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. ¹³ However, ^(B)I will not tear away all the kingdom, but ^(C)I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and ^(D)for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.”
