1 Kings 11:36 in Context — 1 Kings 11

34 Je n’ôterai pas de sa main tout le royaume, car je le maintiendrai prince tout le temps de sa vie, à cause de David, mon serviteur, que j’ai choisi, et qui a observé mes commandements et mes lois.

35 Mais j’ôterai le royaume de la main de son fils, et je t’en donnerai dix tribus;

36 je laisserai une tribu à son fils, afin que David, mon serviteur, ait toujours une lampe devant moi à Jérusalem, la ville que j’ai choisie pour y mettre mon nom.

37 Je te prendrai, et tu régneras sur tout ce que ton âme désirera, tu seras roi d’Israël.

38 Si tu obéis à tout ce que je t’ordonnerai, si tu marches dans mes voies et si tu fais ce qui est droit à mes yeux, en observant mes lois et mes commandements, comme l’a fait David, mon serviteur, je serai avec toi, je te bâtirai une maison stable, comme j’en ai bâti une à David, et je te donnerai Israël.
