(But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)

Verse 32 is found in chapter 11 of 1 Kings. The prophet Ahijah meets Jeroboam and symbolizes the future division of the kingdom by tearing a garment into pieces. Ten tribes will be given to Jeroboam, while one portion will remain with the house of David. The stated reason is Solomon’s idolatry. However, God promises not to completely destroy the Davidic dynasty because of David. The political division is therefore interpreted as the consequence of a spiritual rupture.

einen Stamm soll er haben um meines Knechtes David willen und um der Stadt Jerusalem willen, die ich erwählt habe aus allen Stämmen Israels,
(Y él tendrá una tribu, por amor de David mi siervo, y por amor de Jerusalem, ciudad que yo he elegido de todas las tribus de Israel:)
Él tendrá una tribu por causa de David, mi servidor, y por causa de Jerusalén, la ciudad que escogí entre todas las tribus de Israel.
Mais il aura une tribu, à cause de mon serviteur David, et à cause de Jérusalem, la ville que j'ai choisie sur toutes les tribus d'Israël.
Ed a lui ne resterà una tribù, per amor di Davide, suo padre, e per amor di Gerusalemme, che è la città ch’io ho eletta d’infra tutte le tribù d’Israele.
Porém ele terá uma tribo, por amor de Davi, meu servo, e por amor de Jerusalém, a cidade que escolhi de todas as tribos de Israel.
我因我僕人 大衛 和我在 以色列 眾支派中所選擇的 耶路撒冷城 的緣故,仍為 所羅門 留一個支派。
