Jehovah told Jeroboam: “It must occur that, if you obey all that I shall command you, and you do walk in my ways and actually do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did, I will also prove to be with you, and I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David, and I will give you Israel. ”
Jehoova ütles Jerobeamile: „Kui sa võtad kuulda kõike, mis ma sind käsin, ja käid minu teedel ning teed, mis minu silmis õige on, pidades mu seadlusi ja käske, nõnda nagu mu sulane Taavet tegi, siis ma olen sinuga ja ehitan sulle püsiva koja, nõnda nagu ma ehitasin Taavetile, ja annan Iisraeli sinule! ”.
