GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² But I will not do it in your lifetime because of your father David. I will tear it away from the hands of your son. ¹³ However, I will not tear the whole kingdom away from you. I will give your son one tribe for my servant David’s sake and for the sake of Jerusalem, ⌞the city⌟ that I chose.”
