1 Kings 11:12-13

12 But I will not take it away while you are alive because of my love for your father David. I will tear it away from your son when he becomes king.

13 I will not tear away all the kingdom from him, but I will leave him one tribe to rule. I will do this because of David, my servant, and because of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen."

1 Kings 11:32

32 But I will allow him to control one tribe. I will do this for the sake of my servant David and for Jerusalem, the city I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel.
