1 Kings 11:37-39

Contemporary English Version

³⁷ “You will be king of Israel and will rule every nation you want. ³⁸ I'll help you if you obey me. And if you do what I say, as my servant David did, I will always let someone from your family rule in Israel, just as someone from David's family will always rule in Judah. The nation of Israel will be yours.

³⁹ “I will punish the descendants of David, but not forever.”
