And when RehoboamH7346 was comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, he gatheredH6950 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 an hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505 chosenH977 men, which were warriorsH6213+H4421, to fightH3898 against IsraelH3478, that he might bringH7725 the kingdomH4467 againH7725 to RehoboamH7346.
But the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and to all IsraelH3478 in JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye shall not go upH5927, nor fightH3898 against your brethrenH251: returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004: for this thingH1697 is doneH1961 of me. And they obeyedH8085 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, and returnedH7725 from goingH3212 against JeroboamH3379.
And RehoboamH7346 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389, and builtH1129 citiesH5892 for defenceH4692 in JudahH3063.
He builtH1129 even BethlehemH1035, and EtamH5862, and TekoaH8620,
And BethzurH1049, and ShocoH7755, and AdullamH5725,
And GathH1661, and MareshahH4762, and ZiphH2128,
And AdoraimH115, and LachishH3923, and AzekahH5825,
And ZorahH6881, and AijalonH357, and HebronH2275, which are in JudahH3063 and in BenjaminH1144 fencedH4694 citiesH5892.
And he fortifiedH2388 the strong holdsH4694, and putH5414 captainsH5057 in them, and storeH214 of victualH3978, and of oilH8081 and wineH3196.
And in every several cityH5892 he put shieldsH6793 and spearsH7420, and made them exceedingH7235+H3966 strongH2388, having JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 on his side.
And the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 that were in all IsraelH3478 resortedH3320 to him out of all their coastsH1366. {resorted…: Heb. presented themselves to him}
For the LevitesH3881 leftH5800 their suburbsH4054 and their possessionH272, and cameH3212 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: for JeroboamH3379 and his sonsH1121 had cast them offH2186 from executing the priest's officeH3547 unto the LORDH3068:
And he ordainedH5975 him priestsH3548 for the high placesH1116, and for the devilsH8163, and for the calvesH5695 which he had madeH6213.
And afterH310 them out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 such as setH5414 their heartsH3824 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1.
So they strengthenedH2388 the kingdomH4438 of JudahH3063, and made RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010 strongH553, threeH7969 yearsH8141: for threeH7969 yearsH8141 they walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of DavidH1732 and SolomonH8010.
And RehoboamH7346 tookH3947 him MahalathH4258 the daughterH1323+H1121 of JerimothH3406 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 to wifeH802, and AbihailH32 the daughterH1323 of EliabH446 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448;
Which bareH3205 him childrenH1121; JeushH3266, and ShamariahH8114, and ZahamH2093.
And afterH310 her he tookH3947 MaachahH4601 the daughterH1323 of AbsalomH53; which bareH3205 him AbijahH29, and AttaiH6262, and ZizaH2124, and ShelomithH8019.
And RehoboamH7346 lovedH157 MaachahH4601 the daughterH1323 of AbsalomH53 above all his wivesH802 and his concubinesH6370: (for he tookH5375 eighteenH8083+H6240 wivesH802, and threescoreH8346 concubinesH6370; and begatH3205 twentyH6242 and eightH8083 sonsH1121, and threescoreH8346 daughtersH1323.)
And RehoboamH7346 madeH5975 AbijahH29 the sonH1121 of MaachahH4601 the chiefH7218, to be rulerH5057 among his brethrenH251: for he thought to make him kingH4427.
And he dealt wiselyH995, and dispersedH6555 of all his childrenH1121 throughout all the countriesH776 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, unto every fencedH4694 cityH5892: and he gaveH5414 them victualH4202 in abundanceH7230. And he desiredH7592 manyH1995 wivesH802. {many wives: Heb. a multitude of wives}

That the citiesH5892 which HuramH2361 had restoredH5414 to SolomonH8010, SolomonH8010 builtH1129 them, and caused the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH3427 there.
And SolomonH8010 wentH3212 to HamathzobahH2578, and prevailedH2388 against it.
And he builtH1129 TadmorH8412 in the wildernessH4057, and all the storeH4543 citiesH5892, which he builtH1129 in HamathH2574.
Also he builtH1129 BethhoronH1032 the upperH5945, and BethhoronH1032 the netherH8481, fencedH4692 citiesH5892, with wallsH2346, gatesH1817, and barsH1280;
And BaalathH1191, and all the storeH4543 citiesH5892 that SolomonH8010 had, and all the chariotH7393 citiesH5892, and the citiesH5892 of the horsemenH6571, and all that SolomonH8010 desiredH2836+H2837 to buildH1129 in JerusalemH3389, and in LebanonH3844, and throughout all the landH776 of his dominionH4475. {all that…: Heb. all the desire of Solomon which he desired to build}
And he builtH1129 fencedH4694 citiesH5892 in JudahH3063: for the landH776 had restH8252, and he had no warH4421 in those yearsH8141; because the LORDH3068 had given him restH5117.
Therefore he saidH559 unto JudahH3063, Let us buildH1129 these citiesH5892, and make aboutH5437 them wallsH2346, and towersH4026, gatesH1817, and barsH1280, while the landH776 is yet beforeH6440 us; because we have soughtH1875 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, we have soughtH1875 him, and he hath given us restH5117 on every sideH5439. So they builtH1129 and prosperedH6743.
Then AsaH609 the kingH4428 tookH3947 all JudahH3063; and they carried awayH5375 the stonesH68 of RamahH7414, and the timberH6086 thereof, wherewith BaashaH1201 was buildingH1129; and he builtH1129 therewith GebaH1387 and MizpahH4709.
And JehoshaphatH3092 waxedH1980 greatH1432 exceedinglyH4605; and he builtH1129 in JudahH3063 castlesH1003, and citiesH5892 of storeH4543. {castles: or, palaces}
And he went forthH3318 and warredH3898 against the PhilistinesH6430, and brake downH6555 the wallH2346 of GathH1661, and the wallH2346 of JabnehH2996, and the wallH2346 of AshdodH795, and builtH1129 citiesH5892 about AshdodH795, and among the PhilistinesH6430. {about…: or, in the country of Ashdod}
Moreover he builtH1129 citiesH5892 in the mountainsH2022 of JudahH3063, and in the forestsH2793 he builtH1129 castlesH1003 and towersH4026.
And he discoveredH1540 the coveringH4539 of JudahH3063, and thou didst lookH5027 in that dayH3117 to the armourH5402 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293.
Ye have seenH7200 also the breachesH1233 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, that they are manyH7231: and ye gathered togetherH6908 the watersH4325 of the lowerH8481 poolH1295.
And ye have numberedH5608 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and the housesH1004 have ye broken downH5422 to fortifyH1219 the wallH2346.
Ye madeH6213 also a ditchH4724 between the two wallsH2346 for the waterH4325 of the oldH3465 poolH1295: but ye have not lookedH5027 unto the makerH6213 thereof, neither had respectH7200 unto him that fashionedH3335 it long agoH7350.
