New Testament

1 Kings 11:33-39 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

33. `Because they have forsaken Me, and bow themselves to Ashtoreth, god[dess] of the Zidonians, to Chemosh god of Moab, and to Milcom god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which [is] right in Mine eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, like David his father.

34. `And I do not take the whole of the kingdom out of his hand, for prince I make him all days of his life, for the sake of David My servant whom I chose, who kept My commands and My statutes;

35. and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and given it to thee--the ten tribes;

36. and to his son I give one tribe, for there being a lamp to David My servant all the days before Me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to Myself to put My name there.

37. `And thee I take, and thou hast reigned over all that thy soul desireth, and thou hast been king over Israel;

38. and it hath been, if thou dost hear all that I command thee, and hast walked in My ways, and done that which is right in Mine eyes, to keep My statutes and My commands, as did David My servant, that I have been with thee, and have built forthee a stedfast house, as I built for David, and have given to thee Israel,

39. and I humble the seed of David for this; only, not all the days.'
