Because this is done by you ,
and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes ,

I will surely tear the kingdom from you ,
and will give it to your servant .

However I will not tear away all the kingdom ;
but I will give one tribe to your son ,
for David my servant '
s sake ,
and for Jerusalem '
s sake which I have chosen ."
