32. (But he shall have hashevet haechad l'ma'an Dovid Avdi, and l'ma'an Yerushalayim, the Ir which I have chosen out of kol shivtei Yisroel;)
33. Because that they have forsaken Me, and have worshiped Ashtoret elohei Tzidonim, Kemosh elohei Moav, and Milcom elohei Bnei Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which is yashar in Mine eyes, and My chukkot and My mishpatim, as did Dovid Aviv.
34. Howbeit I will not take the whole mamlachah out of his yad; but I will make him nasi all the days of his life l'ma'an Dovid Avdi, whom I chose, because he was shomer over My mitzvot and My chukkot;
35. But I will take the mamlachah out of yad beno, and will give it unto thee, even aseret hashevatim (ten tribes).
36. And unto bno will I give shevet echad (one tribe), l'ma'an Dovid Avdi may have a ner (lamp) always before Me in Yerushalayim, the Ir which I have chosen for Me to put My Shem there.
37. And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy nefesh desireth, and shalt be Melech over Yisroel.
38. And it shall be, if thou wilt pay heed unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in My ways, and do that is yashar in My sight, to be shomer over My chukkot and My mitzvot, as Dovid Avdi did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a bais ne'eman (enduring dynasty) as I built for Dovid, and will give Yisroel unto thee.
39. And I will for this afflict the zera Dovid [See Isaiah 53:10], but not forever.
40. Sh'lomo sought therefore to kill Yarov`am. And Yarov`am arose, and fled into Mitzrayim, unto Shishak Melech Mitzrayim, and was in Mitzrayim until the Mot Sh'lomo.
41. And the rest of the acts of Sh'lomo, and all that he did, and his chochmah, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei Sh'lomo?
42. And the time that Sh'lomo reigned in Yerushalayim over kol Yisroel was arba'im shanah.
43. And Sh'lomo slept with Avotav, and was buried in the Ir Dovid Aviv: and Rechav`am bno reigned in his place.
