1 Kings 11:38-40

International Standard Version

³⁸ If you listen to everything that I command you to do, and if you live your life my way,^[a] and if you do what I consider to be right by observing my statutes and my commandments, just like my servant David did, then I will be with you, I will build an enduring dynasty for you,^[b] just like I did for David, and I’ll give Israel to you. ³⁹ This is how I’m going to afflict David’s descendants because of what they have done, though I won’t do it continuously.’”
