And when Rehoboam
was come
to Jerusalem,
he gathered
of the house
of Judah
and Benjamin
an hundred
and fourscore
thousand
chosen
men, which were warriors,
to fight
against Israel,
that he might bring
the kingdom
again
to Rehoboam.

But the word
of the LORD
came to Shemaiah
the man
of God,
saying,
Speak
unto Rehoboam
the son
of Solomon,
king
of Judah,
and to all Israel
in Judah
and Benjamin,
saying,
Thus saith
the LORD,
Ye shall not go up,
nor fight
against your brethren:
return
every man
to his house:
for this thing
is done
of me. And they obeyed
the words
of the LORD,
and returned
from going
against Jeroboam.

And Rehoboam
dwelt
in Jerusalem,
and built
cities
for defence
in Judah.
He built
even Bethlehem,
and Etam,
and Tekoa,
And Bethzur,
and Shoco,
and Adullam,
And Gath,
and Mareshah,
and Ziph,
And Adoraim,
and Lachish,
and Azekah,
And Zorah,
and Aijalon,
and Hebron,
which are in Judah
and in Benjamin
fenced
cities.
And he fortified
the strong holds,
and put
captains
in them, and store
of victual,
and of oil
and wine.
And in every several city
he put shields
and spears,
and made them exceeding
strong,
having Judah
and Benjamin
on his side.
And the priests
and the Levites
that were in all Israel
resorted
to him out of all their coasts.
For the Levites
left
their suburbs
and their possession,
and came
to Judah
and Jerusalem:
for Jeroboam
and his sons
had cast them off
from executing the priest's office
unto the LORD:
Ieroboam
Ιεροβοαμ
ieroboam
And he ordained
him priests
for the high places,
and for the devils,
and for the calves
which he had made.
And after
them out of all the tribes
of Israel
such as set
their hearts
to seek
the LORD
God
of Israel
came
to Jerusalem,
to sacrifice
unto the LORD
God
of their fathers.
So they strengthened
the kingdom
of Judah,
and made Rehoboam
the son
of Solomon
strong,
three
years:
for three
years
they walked
in the way
of David
and Solomon.

And Rehoboam

the son

to wife,
and Abihail
the daughter
of Eliab
the son
of Jesse;
Which bare
him children;
Jeush,
and Shamariah,
and Zaham.
And after
her he took
Maachah
the daughter
of Absalom;
which bare
him Abijah,
and Attai,
and Ziza,
and Shelomith.

And Rehoboam

for he thought to make him king.
And he dealt wisely,
and dispersed

throughout all the countries
of Judah

unto every fenced
city:
and he gave
them victual
in abundance.
And he desired
many
wives.
