1 Kings 11:13 Douay-Rheims

Neither will I take away the whole kingdom, but I will give one tribe to thy son for the sake of David my servant, and Jerusalem which I have chosen.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

I will give one tribe to thy son--There were left to Rehoboam the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi (Ch2 11:12-13); and multitudes of Israelites, who, after the schism of the kingdom, established their residence within the territory of Judah to enjoy the privileges of the true religion (Kg1 12:17). These are all reckoned as one tribe.
