3 Kings 11:33-37 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

33. Because he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos the god of Moab, and Moloch the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments as did David his father.

34. Yet I will not take away all the 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 precepts.

35. But I will take away the kingdom out of his son's hand and will give thee ten tribes:

36. And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me always in Jerusalem the city which I have chosen, that my name might be there.

37. And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.
