Hebrew Aleppo Codex
ולא אקח את כל הממלכה מידו כי נשיא אשתנו כל ימי חייו למען דוד עבדי אשר בחרתי אתו אשר שמר מצותי וחקתי
Biblia Hebrica Stuttgartensia (1967/77)
וְלֹֽא־אֶקַּ֥ח אֶת־כָּל־הַמַּמְלָכָ֖ה מִיָּדֹ֑ו כִּ֣י ׀ נָשִׂ֣יא אֲשִׁתֶ֗נּוּ כֹּ֚ל יְמֵ֣י חַיָּ֔יו לְמַ֨עַן דָּוִ֤ד עַבְדִּי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּחַ֣רְתִּי אֹתֹ֔ו אֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁמַ֖ר מִצְוֹתַ֥י וְחֻקֹּתָֽי ׃
Westminster Leningrad Codex
וְלֹֽא־אֶקַּח אֶת־כָּל־הַמַּמְלָכָה מִיָּדוֹ כִּי ׀ נָשִׂיא אֲשִׁתֶנּוּ כֹּל יְמֵי חַיָּיו לְמַעַן דָּוִד עַבְדִּי אֲשֶׁר בָּחַרְתִּי אֹתוֹ אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַר מִצְוֹתַי וְחֻקֹּתָֽי ׃

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Howbeit: 1 Kings 11:12, 1 Kings 11:13, 1 Kings 11:31, Job 11:6, Psalms 103:10, Habakkuk 3:2

for David: Isaiah 55:3

Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 17:20 - right hand 2 Samuel 7:15 - as I took 1 Kings 3:3 - walking 1 Kings 12:16 - now see 2 Chronicles 10:16 - David Psalms 89:19 - exalted Psalms 132:10 - thy servant

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Howbeit, I will not take the kingdom out of his hand,.... Not any part of it, 1 Kings 11:12,

but I will make him prince all the days of his life; that is, he shall continue to hold the government of all the tribes so long as he lives:

for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes; see 1 Kings 11:12, or was well pleased with, as the Targum; for keeping the commands of God from right principles, and with right views, is well pleasing to him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Translate - “Howbeit I will not take ought of the kingdom out of his hand.” The context requires this sense.
