ગુજરાતી1 રાજાઓ ૧૧:૩૪
તેમ છતાં પણ મારા પસંદ કરેલા સેવક દાઉદે મારા વિધિઓ તથા આજ્ઞાઓનું પાલન કરેલું હોવાને લીધે, હમણાં હું સુલેમાન પાસેથી આખું રાજય ખૂંચવી લઈશ નહિ, પણ તેના બાકીના જીવનકાળ દરમિયાન તે રાજ્ય કરશે.
हिन्दी1 राजाओं ११:३४
तो भी मैं उसके हाथ से पूर्ण राज्य न ले लूँगा, परन्तु मेरा चुना हुआ दास दाऊद जो मेरी आज्ञाएँ और विधियाँ मानता रहा, उसके कारण मैं उसको जीवन भर प्रधान ठहराए रखूँगा।

In context

32(but he shall have one tribe, for my servant David’s sake and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel),

33because they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.

34“‘However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes,

35but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give it to you, even ten tribes.

36I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
