3 H559 [H8798] Speak H7346 to Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon H4428 , king H3063 of Judah H3478 , and to all Israel H3063 in Judah H1144 and Benjamin H559 [H8800] , saying,

4 H559 [H8804] Thus saith H3068 the LORD H5927 [H8799] , Ye shall not go up H3898 [H8735] , nor fight H251 against your brethren H7725 [H8798] : return H376 every man H1004 to his house H1697 : for this thing H1961 [H8738] is done H8085 [H8799] by me. And they obeyed H1697 the words H3068 of the LORD H7725 [H8799] , and returned H3212 [H8800] from going H3379 against Jeroboam.

5 H7346 And Rehoboam H3427 [H8799] dwelt H3389 in Jerusalem H1129 [H8799] , and built H5892 cities H4692 for defence H3063 in Judah.

6 H1129 [H8799] He built H1035 even Bethlehem H5862 , and Etam H8620 , and Tekoa,

7 H1049 And Bethzur H7755 , and Shoco H5725 , and Adullam,

8 H1661 And Gath H4762 , and Mareshah H2128 , and Ziph,

9 H115 And Adoraim H3923 , and Lachish H5825 , and Azekah,

10 H6881 And Zorah H357 , and Aijalon H2275 , and Hebron H3063 , which are in Judah H1144 and in Benjamin H4694 fortified H5892 cities.

11 H2388 [H8762] And he fortified H4694 the strong holds H5414 [H8799] , and put H5057 captains H214 in them, and store H3978 of food H8081 , and of oil H3196 and wine.

12 H5892 And in every single city H6793 he put shields H7420 and spears H7235 H3966 [H8687] , and made them very H2388 [H8762] strong H3063 , having Judah H1144 and Benjamin on his side.

15 H5975 [H8686] And he appointed H3548 him priests H1116 for the high places H8163 , and for the demons H5695 , and for the calves H6213 [H8804] which he had made.

16 H310 And after H7626 them out of all the tribes H3478 of Israel H5414 [H8802] such as set H3824 their hearts H1245 [H8763] to seek H3068 the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H935 [H8804] came H3389 to Jerusalem H2076 [H8800] , to sacrifice H3068 to the LORD H430 God H1 of their fathers.

17 H2388 [H8762] So they strengthened H4438 the kingdom H3063 of Judah H7346 , and made Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon H553 [H8762] strong H7969 , three H8141 years H7969 : for three H8141 years H1980 [H8804] they walked H1870 in the way H1732 of David H8010 and Solomon.

18 H7346 And Rehoboam H3947 [H8799] took H4258 to himself Mahalath H1323 H1121 [H8675] the daughter H3406 of Jerimoth H1121 the son H1732 of David H802 for a wife H32 , and Abihail H1323 the daughter H446 of Eliab H1121 the son H3448 of Jesse;

19 H3205 [H8799] Who bore H1121 him children H3266 ; Jeush H8114 , and Shamariah H2093 , and Zaham.

20 H310 And after H3947 [H8804] her he took H4601 Maachah H1323 the daughter H53 of Absalom H3205 [H8799] ; who bore H29 him Abijah H6262 , and Attai H2124 , and Ziza H8019 , and Shelomith.

21 H7346 And Rehoboam H157 [H8799] loved H4601 Maachah H1323 the daughter H53 of Absalom H802 above all his wives H6370 and his concubines H5375 [H8804] : (for he took H8083 H6240 eighteen H802 wives H8346 , and sixty H6370 concubines H3205 [H8686] ; and begat H6242 twenty H8083 and eight H1121 sons H8346 , and sixty H1323 daughters.)

22 H7346 And Rehoboam H5975 [H8686] made H29 Abijah H1121 the son H4601 of Maachah H7218 the chief H5057 , to be ruler H251 among his brethren H4427 [H8687] : for he thought to make him king.

23 H995 [H8799] And he dealt wisely H6555 [H8799] , and distributed H1121 of all his children H776 throughout all the countries H3063 of Judah H1144 and Benjamin H4694 , to every fortified H5892 city H5414 [H8799] : and he gave H4202 them food H7230 in abundance H7592 [H8799] .
