1 Rois 11:12-13

12 Seulement, je ne le ferai point pendant ta vie, à cause de David, ton père. C'est de la main de ton fils que je l'arracherai.
13 Je n'arracherai cependant pas tout le royaume; je laisserai une tribu à ton fils, à cause de David, mon serviteur, et à cause de Jérusalem, que j'ai choisie.
