1 Kings 11:34-36

Evangelical Heritage Version

³⁴ I will not take the whole kingdom from his hand because I appointed him leader for all the days of his life for the sake of my servant David, whom I chose and who kept my commands and statutes. ³⁵ However, I will take the kingdom from his son’s hand, and I will give ten tribes to you. ³⁶ To his son I will give one tribe in order that there may be a lamp for my servant David before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put my Name.
