New Testament

1 Kings 11:34-37 English Standard Version (ESV)

34. Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes.

35. But I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give it to you, ten tribes.

36. Yet to his son I will give one tribe, that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen to put my name.

37. And I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel.
