¹ And king Solomon is king over all Israel,

⁵ in Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years, over all Israel and Judah.

¹³ only all the kingdom I do not rend away; one tribe I give to thy son, for the sake of David My servant, and for the sake of Jerusalem, that I have chosen.'

³⁵ and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and given it to thee -- the ten tribes;

³⁶ and to his son I give one tribe, for there being a lamp to David My servant all the days before Me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to Myself to put My name there.

¹⁹ and Israel transgresseth against the house of David unto this day.

²⁰ And it cometh to pass, at all Israel's hearing that Jeroboam hath returned, that they send and call him unto the company, and cause him to reign over all Israel; none hath been after the house of David save the tribe of Judah alone.

³⁸ All these `are' men of war, keeping rank -- with a perfect heart they have come to Hebron, to cause David to reign over all Israel, and also all the rest of Israel `are' of one heart, to cause David to reign,

³⁰ And Solomon reigneth in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years,

¹² I, a preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.
