And I took the kingdom from the hand of his son and gave it to thee, the ten tribes. And to his son I will give one tribe on account of there being a light to David my servant all the days before me in Jerusalem the city which I chose to me to put my name there. And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all which thy soul shall desire, and be king over Israel. And being if thou shalt hear all that I shall command thee, and go in my way and do the straight in mine eyes to watch my laws and my commands as David my servant did, and I was with thee and built to thee a faithful house as I built to David, and I gave Israel to thee.
