1 Kings 11:35

“but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it to you, even ten tribes.”

Verse in context — 1 Kings 11

33

because that they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.

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, who kept my commandments and my statutes;

35

but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it to you, even ten tribes.

36

To his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

37

I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.
