1 Kings 11:35-37

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁵ I will take the kingdom away from his son and I will give ten tribes for you to rule. ³⁶ But I will leave one tribe for Solomon's son to rule. Then my servant David will continue to have a descendant who serves me as king in Jerusalem. That is the city where I have chosen for people to worship me.

³⁷ But I will make you, Jeroboam, king of Israel. You will rule over all the land that you want for yourself.
