1
Now when Rehoboam
had come
to Jerusalem,
he assembled
the house
of Judah
and Benjamin,
180,000
chosen
men who were warriors,
to fight
against
Israel
to restore
the kingdom
to Rehoboam.
2
But the word
of the LORD
came
to Shemaiah
the man
of God,
saying,
3
"Speak
to Rehoboam
the son
of Solomon,
king
of Judah,
and to all
Israel
in Judah
and Benjamin,
saying,
4
'
Thus
says
the LORD,
"You shall not go
up or fight
against
your relatives;
return
every man
to his house,
for this
thing
is from Me."'" So they listened
to the words
of the LORD
and returned
from going
against
Jeroboam.
5
Rehoboam
lived
in Jerusalem
and built
cities
for defense
in Judah.
6
Thus he built
Bethlehem,
Etam,
Tekoa,
7
Beth-zur,
Soco,
Adullam,
8
Gath,
Mareshah,
Ziph,
9
Adoraim,
Lachish,
Azekah,
10
Zorah,
Aijalon
and Hebron,
which
are fortified
cities
in Judah
and in Benjamin.
11
He also strengthened
the fortresses
and put
officers
in them and stores
of food,
oil
and wine.
12
He put shields
and spears
in every
city
and strengthened
them greatly.
So he held
Judah
and Benjamin.
13
Moreover, the priests
and the Levites
who
were in all
Israel
stood
with him from all
their districts.
14
For the Levites
left
their pasture lands
and their property
and came
to Judah
and Jerusalem,
for Jeroboam
and his sons
had excluded
them from serving as priests
to the LORD.
15
He set
up priests
of his own for the high places,
for the satyrs
and for the calves
which
he had made.
16
Those from all
the tribes
of Israel
who set
their hearts
on seeking
the LORD
God
of Israel
followed
them to Jerusalem,
to sacrifice
to
the LORD
God
of their fathers.
17
They strengthened
the kingdom
of Judah
and supported
Rehoboam
the son
of Solomon
for three
years,
for they walked
in the way
of David
and Solomon
for three
years.
18
Then Rehoboam
took
as a wife
Mahalath
the daughter
of Jerimoth
the son
of David
and of Abihail
the daughter
of Eliab
the son
of Jesse,
19
and she bore
him sons:
Jeush,
Shemariah
and Zaham.
20
After
her he took
Maacah
the daughter
of Absalom,
and she bore
him Abijah,
Attai,
Ziza
and Shelomith.
21
Rehoboam
loved
Maacah
the daughter
of Absalom
more than
all
his other
wives
and
concubines
.
For he had taken
eighteen
wives
and sixty
concubines
and fathered
twenty-eight
sons
and sixty
daughters.
22
Rehoboam
appointed
Abijah
the son
of Maacah
as head
and leader
among his brothers,
for he intended to make him king.
23
He acted wisely
and distributed
some
of his sons
through
all
the territories
of Judah
and Benjamin
to
all
the fortified
cities,
and he gave
them food
in abundance.
And he sought
many
wives
for them.
