³⁴Howbeit, I will not take the whole kingdome out of his hand: but I will make him Prince all the dayes of his life, for Dauid my seruants sake, whom I chose, because hee kept my Commandements and my Statutes:

³⁵But ^*I will take the kingdome out of his sonnes hand, and will giue it vnto thee, euen ten tribes.

³⁶And vnto his sonne will I giue one tribe, that Dauid my seruant may haue a ^†light alway before me in Ierusalem, the citie which I haue chosen me to put my Name there.

³⁷And I will take thee, and thou shalt reigne according to all that thy soule desireth, and shalt be King ouer Israel.
