1
And when Rehoboam [7346] was come [0935] to Jerusalem, [3389] he gathered [6950] of the house [1004] of Judah [3063] and Benjamin [1144] an hundred [3967] and fourscore [8084] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] [men], which were warriors, [6213] [4421] to fight [3898] against Israel, [3478] that he might bring the kingdom [4467] again [7725] to Rehoboam. [7346]
2
But the word [1697] of the LORD [3068] came to Shemaiah [8098] the man [0376] of God, [0430] saying, [0559]
3
Speak [0559] unto Rehoboam [7346] the son [1121] of Solomon, [8010] king [4428] of Judah, [3063] and to all Israel [3478] in Judah [3063] and Benjamin, [1144] saying, [0559]
4
Thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] Ye shall not go up, [5927] nor fight [3898] against your brethren: [0251] return [7725] every man [0376] to his house: [1004] for this thing [1697] is done [1961] of me. And they obeyed [8085] the words [1697] of the LORD, [3068] and returned [7725] from going [3212] against Jeroboam. [3379]
5
And Rehoboam [7346] dwelt [3427] in Jerusalem, [3389] and built [1129] cities [5892] for defence [4692] in Judah. [3063]
6
He built [1129] even Bethlehem, [1035] and Etam, [5862] and Tekoa, [8620]
7
And Bethzur, [1049] and Shoco, [7755] and Adullam, [5725]
8
And Gath, [1661] and Mareshah, [4762] and Ziph, [2128]
9
And Adoraim, [0115] and Lachish, [3923] and Azekah, [5825]
10
And Zorah, [6881] and Aijalon, [0357] and Hebron, [2275] which [are] in Judah [3063] and in Benjamin [1144] fenced [4694] cities. [5892]
11
And he fortified [2388] the strong holds, [4694] and put [5414] captains [5057] in them, and store [0214] of victual, [3978] and of oil [8081] and wine. [3196]
12
And in every several city [5892] [5892] [he put] shields [6793] and spears, [7420] and made them exceeding [7235] [3966] strong, [2388] having Judah [3063] and Benjamin [1144] on his side.
13
And the priests [3548] and the Levites [3881] that [were] in all Israel [3478] resorted [3320] to him out of all their coasts. [1366]
14
For the Levites [3881] left [5800] their suburbs [4054] and their possession, [0272] and came [3212] to Judah [3063] and Jerusalem: [3389] for Jeroboam [3379] and his sons [1121] had cast them off [2186] from executing the priest's office [3547] unto the LORD: [3068]
15
And he ordained [5975] him priests [3548] for the high places, [1116] and for the devils, [8163] and for the calves [5695] which he had made. [6213]
16
And after [0310] them out of all the tribes [7626] of Israel [3478] such as set [5414] their hearts [3824] to seek [1245] the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel [3478] came [0935] to Jerusalem, [3389] to sacrifice [2076] unto the LORD [3068] God [0430] of their fathers. [0001]
17
So they strengthened [2388] the kingdom [4438] of Judah, [3063] and made Rehoboam [7346] the son [1121] of Solomon [8010] strong, [0553] three [7969] years: [8141] for three [7969] years [8141] they walked [1980] in the way [1870] of David [1732] and Solomon. [8010]
18
And Rehoboam [7346] took [3947] him Mahalath [4258] the daughter [1323] [1121] of Jerimoth [3406] the son [1121] of David [1732] to wife, [0802] [and] Abihail [0032] the daughter [1323] of Eliab [0446] the son [1121] of Jesse; [3448]
19
Which bare [3205] him children; [1121] Jeush, [3266] and Shamariah, [8114] and Zaham. [2093]
20
And after [0310] her he took [3947] Maachah [4601] the daughter [1323] of Absalom; [0053] which bare [3205] him Abijah, [0029] and Attai, [6262] and Ziza, [2124] and Shelomith. [8019]
21
And Rehoboam [7346] loved [0157] Maachah [4601] the daughter [1323] of Absalom [0053] above all his wives [0802] and his concubines: [6370] (for he took [5375] eighteen [8083] [6240] wives, [0802] and threescore [8346] concubines; [6370] and begat [3205] twenty [6242] and eight [8083] sons, [1121] and threescore [8346] daughters.) [1323]
22
And Rehoboam [7346] made [5975] Abijah [0029] the son [1121] of Maachah [4601] the chief, [7218] [to be] ruler [5057] among his brethren: [0251] for [he thought] to make him king. [4427]
23
And he dealt wisely, [0995] and dispersed [6555] of all his children [1121] throughout all the countries [0776] of Judah [3063] and Benjamin, [1144] unto every fenced [4694] city: [5892] and he gave [5414] them victual [4202] in abundance. [7230] And he desired [7592] many [1995] wives. [0802]
