1 Kings 11:37-39

GOD’S WORD Translation

³⁷ “I will choose you so that you can rule everything you desire. You will be king of Israel. ³⁸ If you will do all I command you, follow my ways, and do what I consider right by obeying my laws and commands as my servant David did, then I will be with you. I will build a permanent dynasty for you as I did for David. And I will give you Israel. ³⁹ I will make David’s descendants suffer for this, but not always.”
