1 Kings 11:38 in Context — 1 Kings 11

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.

39 J’humilierai par là la postérité de David, mais ce ne sera pas pour toujours.

40 Salomon chercha à faire mourir Jéroboam. Et Jéroboam se leva et s’enfuit en Égypte auprès de Schischak, roi d’Égypte; il demeura en Égypte jusqu’à la mort de Salomon.
