Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; [but] will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

Howbeit {H7535} I will not rend away {H7167} all the kingdom {H4467}; but will give {H5414} one {H259} tribe {H7626} to thy son {H1121} for David {H1732} my servant's {H5650} sake, and for Jerusalem's {H3389} sake which I have chosen {H977}.

Even then, I won't tear away all the kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Yerushalayim, which I have chosen."

Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom away from him. I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.
