• Newari: “Yet I will not snatch the whole kingdom from him but, for the sake of my servant, David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen, I will give him one tribe.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “But I will- not -take-away the entire kingdom from him, but I will-leave him one tribe because of my servant David and because of Jerusalem the city which I have-chosen.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “But I will not take all the kingdom away from him. Instead, I will allow him to rule one tribe besides the tribe of Judah, because of what I promised to David, who served me well, and because I want David’s descendants to rule in Jerusalem, where my temple is located.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
