1 Kings 11:36-38

Expanded Bible

³⁶ I will ·allow Solomon’s son to continue to rule over [^Lgive to his son] one tribe so that David, my servant will always have a ·descendant [^Llamp before me; ^Cpossibly a metaphor for the reign of a king] in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to ·be worshiped [^Lput my name]. ³⁷ But I will make you ·rule [reign] over everything you ·want [desire]. You will ·rule [be king] over all of Israel, ³⁸ and I will always be with you if you ·do what I say [^Lwalk in my ways/paths and do what] is right. You must obey all my commands. If you obey my laws and commands as David did, I will be with you. I will ·make your family a lasting family of kings [build you an enduring house/dynasty], as I did for David, and give Israel to you.
