1 Kings 11:37 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 11:37

35 But ^aI will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and give it to you—ten tribes.

36 And to his son I will give one tribe, that ^aMy servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there.

37 So I will take you, and you shall reign over all your heart desires, and you shall be king over Israel.

38 Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then ^aI will be with you and ^bbuild for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.

39 And I will afflict the descendants of David because of this, but not forever.’ ”

40 Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to ^aShishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
