1 Kings 11:38-43

1 Kings 11:38-43 AMP

Then it shall be, that if you listen to all that I command you and walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, keeping and observing My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then I will be with you and build you an enduring house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you. And in this way I will afflict the descendants of David for this (their sin), but not forever.’ ” So Solomon attempted to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam set out and escaped to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and stayed in Egypt until Solomon died. The rest of the acts of Solomon—and all that he did, and his wisdom—are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon? The time Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. And Solomon slept [in death] with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David. Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
