1 Kings 11:29-40

And it came to pass at that time
<06256>
when Jeroboam
<03379>
went out
<03318> (8804)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
that the prophet
<05030>
Ahijah
<0281>
the Shilonite
<07888>
found
<04672> (8799)
him in the way
<01870>_;
and he had clad
<03680> (8693)
himself with a new
<02319>
garment
<08008>_;
and they two
<08147>
[were] alone in the field
<07704>_:
And Ahijah
<0281>
caught
<08610> (8799)
the new
<02319>
garment
<08008>
that [was] on him, and rent
<07167> (8799)
it [in] twelve
<08147> <06240>
pieces
<07168>_:
And he said
<0559> (8799)
to Jeroboam
<03379>_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
thee ten
<06235>
pieces
<07168>_:
for thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Behold, I will rend
<07167> (8802)
the kingdom
<04467>
out of the hand
<03027>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
and will give
<05414> (8804)
ten
<06235>
tribes
<07626>
to thee:
(But he shall have one
<0259>
tribe
<07626>
for my servant
<05650>
David's
<01732>
sake, and for Jerusalem's
<03389>
sake, the city
<05892>
which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
out of all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>:)
Because that they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me, and have worshipped
<07812> (8691)
Ashtoreth
<06253>
the goddess
<0430>
of the Zidonians
<06722>_,
Chemosh
<03645>
the god
<0430>
of the Moabites
<04124>_,
and Milcom
<04445>
the god
<0430>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and have not walked
<01980> (8804)
in my ways
<01870>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
[that which is] right
<03477>
in mine eyes
<05869>_,
and [to keep] my statutes
<02708>
and my judgments
<04941>_,
as [did] David
<01732>
his father
<01>_.
Howbeit I will not take
<03947> (8799)
the whole kingdom
<04467>
out of his hand
<03027>_:
but I will make
<07896> (8799)
him prince
<05387>
all the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>
for David
<01732>
my servant's
<05650>
sake, whom I chose
<0977> (8804)_,
because he kept
<08104> (8804)
my commandments
<04687>
and my statutes
<02708>_:
But I will take
<03947> (8804)
the kingdom
<04410>
out of his son's
<01121>
hand
<03027>_,
and will give
<05414> (8804)
it unto thee, [even] ten
<06235>
tribes
<07626>_.
And unto his son
<01121>
will I give
<05414> (8799)
one
<0259>
tribe
<07626>_,
that David
<01732>
my servant
<05650>
may have a light
<05216>
alway
<03117>
before
<06440>
me in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
the city
<05892>
which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
me to put
<07760> (8800)
my name
<08034>
there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
And I will take
<03947> (8799)
thee, and thou shalt reign
<04427> (8804)
according to all that thy soul
<05315>
desireth
<0183> (8762)_,
and shalt be king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_.
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto all that I command
<06680> (8762)
thee, and wilt walk
<01980> (8804)
in my ways
<01870>_,
and do
<06213> (8804)
[that is] right
<03477>
in my sight
<05869>_,
to keep
<08104> (8800)
my statutes
<02708>
and my commandments
<04687>_,
as David
<01732>
my servant
<05650>
did
<06213> (8804)_;
that I will be with thee, and build
<01129> (8804)
thee a sure
<0539> (8737)
house
<01004>_,
as I built
<01129> (8804)
for David
<01732>_,
and will give
<05414> (8804)
Israel
<03478>
unto thee.
And I will for this afflict
<06031> (8762)
the seed
<02233>
of David
<01732>_,
but not for ever
<03117>_.
Solomon
<08010>
sought
<01245> (8762)
therefore to kill
<04191> (8687)
Jeroboam
<03379>_.
And Jeroboam
<03379>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and fled
<01272> (8799)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
unto Shishak
<07895>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and was in Egypt
<04714>
until the death
<04194>
of Solomon
<08010>_.
