1 Kings 9:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ then I will maintain your royal throne over Israel forever, just as I said to your father David, “You will not fail to have a man upon the throne of Israel.”

⁶ But if any of you^[a] or your sons turn away from me and do not keep my commands and statutes, which I set before you, but you serve other gods and bow down to them, ⁷ then I will cut off Israel from the face of the ground which I gave them. I will take my presence away from the house which I consecrated for my Name. Israel will become proverbial as an object of ridicule for all peoples.
