1 Kings 11:37-39

Living Bible

³⁷ And I will place you on the throne of Israel and give you absolute power. ³⁸ If you listen to what I tell you and walk in my path and do whatever I consider right, obeying my commandments as my servant David did, then I will bless you; and your descendants shall rule Israel forever. (I once made this same promise to David. ³⁹ But because of Solomon’s sin, I will punish the descendants of David—though not forever.)’”
