1 Kings 11:29-38

29 And at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet ^cAhijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had dressed himself in a new garment, and the two of them were alone in the open country. 30 Then Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, ^dand tore it into twelve pieces. 31 And he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, ^eI am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and will give you ten tribes 32 (but ^fhe shall have one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, ^gthe city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), 33 because they have ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate he has; twice in this verse} forsaken me ⁱand worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and they have not walked in my ways, doing what is right in my sight and keeping my statutes and my rules, as David his father did. 34 Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes. 35 ^jBut I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give it to you, ten tribes. 36 Yet to his son ^kI will give one tribe, that David my servant may always have ^la lamp before me in Jerusalem, ^mthe city where I have chosen to put my name. 37 And I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel. 38 And if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, ⁿI will be with you and ^owill build you a sure house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

2 Chronicles 10:15

15 So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turn of affairs brought about by God that the Lord might fulfill his word, ^pwhich he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

Psalms 33:11

11 ^qThe counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the plans of his heart to all generations.

Hosea 8:4

4 ^rThey made kings, ^sbut not through me.
They set up princes, but I knew it not.
With their silver and gold they made idols
for their own destruction.
