H7346
And when Rehoboam
H935
was come
H3389
to Jerusalem,
H6950
he gathered
H1004
of the house
H3063
of Judah
H1144
and Benjamin
H3967
an hundred
H8084
and eighty
H505
thousand
H977
chosen
H6213
men, which were warriors,
H3898
to fight
H3478
against Israel,
H7725
that he might bring
H4467
the kingdom
H7725
again
H7346
to Rehoboam.
2
H1697
But the word
H3068
of the Lord
H8098
came to Shemaiah
H376
the man
H430
of God,
H559
saying,
3
H559
Speak
H7346
unto Rehoboam
H1121
the son
H8010
of Solomon,
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah,
H3478
and to all Israel
H3063
in Judah
H1144
and Benjamin,
H559
saying,
4
H559
Thus says
H3068
the Lord,
H5927
You shall not go up,
H3898
nor fight
H251
against your brothers:
H7725
return
H376
every man
H1004
to his house:
H1697
for this thing
H1961
is done
H8085
of me. And they obeyed
H1697
the words
H3068
of the Lord,
H7725
and returned
H3212
from going
H3379
against Jeroboam.
5
H7346
And Rehoboam
H3427
lived
H3389
in Jerusalem,
H1129
and built
H5892
cities
H4692
for defense
H3063
in Judah.
10
H6881
And Zorah,
H357
and Aijalon,
H2275
and Hebron,
H3063
which are in Judah
H1144
and in Benjamin
H4694
fenced
H5892
cities.
11
H2388
And he fortified
H4694
the strong holds,
H5414
and put
H5057
captains
H214
in them, and store
H3978
of food,
H8081
and of oil
H3196
and wine.
12
H5892
And in every several city
H6793
he put shields
H7420
and spears,
H7235
and made them exceedingly
H2388
strong,
H3063
having Judah
H1144
and Benjamin on his side.
13
H3548
And the priests
H3881
and the Levites
H3478
that were in all Israel
H3320
resorted
H1366
to him out of all their coasts.
14
H3881
For the Levites
H5800
left
H4054
their suburbs
H272
and their possession,
H3212
and came
H3063
to Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem:
H3379
for Jeroboam
H1121
and his sons
H2186
had cast them off
H3547
from executing the priest's office
H3068
unto the Lord:
15
H5975
And he ordained
H3548
him priests
H1116
for the high places,
H8163
and for the demons,
H5695
and for the calves
H6213
which he had made.
16
H310
And after
H7626
them out of all the tribes
H3478
of Israel
H5414
such as set
H3824
their hearts
H1245
to seek
H3068
the Lord
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H935
came
H3389
to Jerusalem,
H2076
to sacrifice
H3068
unto the Lord
H430
God
H1
of their fathers.
17
H2388
So they strengthened
H4438
the kingdom
H3063
of Judah,
H7346
and made Rehoboam
H1121
the son
H8010
of Solomon
H553
strong,
H7969
three
H8141
years:
H7969
for three
H8141
years
H1980
they walked
H1870
in the way
H1732
of David
H8010
and Solomon.
18
H7346
And Rehoboam
H3947
took
H4258
him Mahalath
H1323
the daughter
H3406
of Jerimoth
H1121
the son
H1732
of David
H802
to wife,
H32
and Abihail
H1323
the daughter
H446
of Eliab
H1121
the son
H3448
of Jesse;
20
H310
And after
H3947
her he took
H4601
Maachah
H1323
the daughter
H53
of Absalom;
H3205
which bore
H29
him Abijah,
H6262
and Attai,
H2124
and Ziza,
H8019
and Shelomith.
21
H7346
And Rehoboam
H157
loved
H4601
Maachah
H1323
the daughter
H53
of Absalom
H802
above all his wives
H6370
and his concubines:
H5375
(for he took
H8083
eighteen
H802
wives,
H8346
and sixty
H6370
concubines;
H3205
and fathered
H6242
twenty
H8083
and eight
H1121
sons,
H8346
and sixty
H1323
daughters.)
