1 Kings 11:38-40
New English Translation

38 You must obey[a] all I command you to do, follow my instructions,[b] do what I approve,[c] and keep my rules and commandments, as my servant David did. Then I will be with you and establish for you a lasting dynasty, as I did for David;[d] I will give you Israel. 39 I will humiliate David’s descendants because of this,[e] but not forever.’”[f] 40 Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam escaped to Egypt and found refuge with King Shishak of Egypt.[g] He stayed in Egypt until Solomon died.
