1 Kings 11:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ Therefore, the LORD said to Solomon, “Because this has been done by you, and you have not kept My Covenant and My Statutes which I Commanded you, I will surely tear your kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.

¹² “Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days, because of David your father. But I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

¹³ “However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but will give one tribe to your son, because of David my servant and because of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”
