34. ‘ “But I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s hand; I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose and who obeyed my commands and decrees.
35. I will take the kingdom from his son’s hands and give you ten tribes.
36. I will give one tribe to his son so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put my Name.
37. However, as for you, I will take you, and you will rule over all that your heart desires; you will be king over Israel.
