1 Kings 11:31-33

New American Standard Bible 1995

³¹ He said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces; for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, ^(A)I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and give you ten tribes ³² (^(B)but he will have one tribe, for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, ^(C)the city which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel), ³³ because they have forsaken Me, and ^(D)have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, ^(E)Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon; and they have not walked in My ways, doing what is right in My sight and observing My statutes and My ordinances, as his father David did.
