1 Kings 11:34-36

The Voice

³⁴ “But I am not going to take the entire kingdom away from Solomon; he will be prince his entire life because of My promise to My servant David, whom I handpicked from the pastures and who lived by My commands and laws. ³⁵ Instead I will take the kingdom away from his son’s power and give ten tribes over to you. ³⁶ I will leave one tribe for his son so that David, the lamp of Israel,^[a] will always have a place with Me in Jerusalem, the city I have appointed as My city.”
