1 Kings 11:38 meaning and explanation
If you listen to all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight in order to keep My statutes and commandments as My servant David did, then I will be with you. I will build you a lasting dynasty just as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.
1 Kings 11:38, Berean Standard Bible

In verse 38 the LORD speaks directly to Jeroboam through Ahijah, offering him the same kind of conditional covenant he once gave David: obedience brings God's presence and a lasting dynasty.
