But I will take away the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give thee ten tribes:
36

37
And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.
38
If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David, my servant, did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to thee:
39
And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but yet not for ever.

42
And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all Israel, were forty years.

And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David, his father; and Roboam, his son, reigned in his stead.
