35 I will take the kingdom away from Solomon's son and will give you ten tribes,
36 but I will let Solomon's son keep one tribe, so that I will always have a descendant of my servant David ruling in Jerusalem, the city I have chosen as the place where I am worshiped.
37 Jeroboam, I will make you king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want.
38 If you obey me completely, live by my laws, and win my approval by doing what I command, as my servant David did, I will always be with you. I will make you king of Israel and will make sure that your descendants rule after you, just as I have done for David.
39 Because of Solomon's sin I will punish the descendants of David, but not for all time.’”
40 And so Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but he escaped to King Shishak of Egypt and stayed there until Solomon's death.
41 Everything else that Solomon did, his career, and his wisdom, are all recorded in The History of Solomon.
