35
but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
36
To his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Yerushalayim, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
37
I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Yisra'el.
38
It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my mitzvot, as David my servant did; that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Yisra'el to you.
39
I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not forever.

42
The time that Shlomo reigned in Yerushalayim over all Yisra'el was forty years.
43
Shlomo slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rechav`am his son reigned in his place.
