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, because he kept My commandments and My statutes.
35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give ten tribes to you.
36 To his son will I give one tribe, so that My servant David will always have a light before Me in Jerusalem, the city in which I have chosen to put My name.
37 I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires and shall be king over Israel.
38 It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you and will walk in My ways and do what is right in My sight to keep My statutes and My commandments, as David My servant did, I will be with you and build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
39 I will thus afflict the seed of David, but not forever.”
