1 Kings 11:11-13

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹¹ Therefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Because this has been in thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee and will give it to thy slave.

¹² But I will not do it in thy days for David, thy father’s sake, but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

¹³ However, I will not rend away all the kingdom, but will give one tribe to thy son for David, my slave’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.
