Old Testament

New Testament

1 Kings 11:35-39 English Standard Version (ESV)

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.

38. And if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, I will be with you and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

39. And I will afflict the offspring of David because of this, but not forever.’”
