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}

They sacrificedH2076 unto devilsH7700, not to GodH433; to godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, to newH2319 gods that cameH935 newlyH7138 upH935, whom your fathersH1 fearedH8175 not. {not to…: or, which were not God}
And he receivedH3947 them at their handH3027, and fashionedH6696 it with a graving toolH2747, after he had madeH6213 it a moltenH4541 calfH5695: and they saidH559, These be thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which broughtH5927 thee up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And when AaronH175 sawH7200 it, he builtH1129 an altarH4196 beforeH6440 it; and AaronH175 made proclamationH7121, and saidH559, To morrowH4279 is a feastH2282 to the LORDH3068.
And they rose up earlyH7925 on the morrowH4283, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and broughtH5066 peace offeringsH8002; and the peopleH5971 satH3427 down to eatH398 and to drinkH8354, and rose upH6965 to playH6711.
And the LORDH3068 saidH1696 unto MosesH4872, GoH3212, get thee downH3381; for thy peopleH5971, which thou broughtestH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, have corruptedH7843 themselves:
They have turnedH5493 aside quicklyH4118 out of the wayH1870 which I commandedH6680 them: they have madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and have worshippedH7812 it, and have sacrificedH2076 thereunto, and saidH559, These be thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which have brought thee upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
ButG235 I say, thatG3754 the things whichG3739 the GentilesG1484 sacrificeG2380, they sacrificeG2380 to devilsG1140, andG2532 notG3756 to GodG2316: andG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 that yeG5209 should haveG1096 fellowshipG2844 with devilsG1140.
And MosesH4872 returnedH7725 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, OhH577, this peopleH5971 have sinnedH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401, and have madeH6213 them godsH430 of goldH2091.
Ye cannotG3756+G1410 drinkG4095 the cupG4221 of the LordG2962, andG2532 the cupG4221 of devilsG1140: ye cannotG3756+G1410 be partakersG3348 of the Lord'sG2962 tableG5132, andG2532 of the tableG5132 of devilsG1140.
Whereupon the kingH4428 took counselH3289, and madeH6213 twoH8147 calvesH5695 of goldH2091, and saidH559 unto them, It is too muchH7227 for you to go upH5927 to JerusalemH3389: behold thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which brought thee upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
NowG1161 the SpiritG4151 speakethG3004 expresslyG4490, thatG3754 inG1722 the latterG5306 timesG2540 someG5100 shall depart fromG868 the faithG4102, giving heedG4337 to seducingG4108 spiritsG4151, andG2532 doctrinesG1319 of devilsG1140;
But hast doneH6213 evilH7489 above all that were beforeH6440 thee: for thou hast goneH3212 and madeH6213 thee otherH312 godsH430, and molten imagesH4541, to provoke me to angerH3707, and hast castH7993 me behindH310 thy backH1458:
ForG1063 they areG1526 the spiritsG4151 of devilsG1142, workingG4160 miraclesG4592, which go forthG1607+G3739+G1607 untoG1909 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 andG2532 of the wholeG3650 worldG3625, to gatherG4863 themG846 toG1519 the battleG4171 of thatG1565 greatG3173 dayG2250 of GodG2316 AlmightyG3841.
Thus they changedH4171 their gloryH3519 into the similitudeH8403 of an oxH7794 that eatethH398 grassH6212.
Thy calfH5695, O SamariaH8111, hath castH2186 thee off; mine angerH639 is kindledH2734 against them: how long will it be ereH3808 they attainH3201 to innocencyH5356?
For from IsraelH3478 was it also: the workmanH2796 madeH6213 it; therefore it is not GodH430: but the calfH5695 of SamariaH8111 shall be broken in piecesH7616.
And now they sinH2398 more and moreH3254, and have madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541 of their silverH3701, and idolsH6091 according to their own understandingH8394, all of it the workH4639 of the craftsmenH2796: they sayH559 of them, Let the menH120 that sacrificeH2076 kissH5401 the calvesH5695. {they sin…: Heb. they add to sin} {the men…: or, the sacrificers of men}
