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}

And he gatheredH6908 all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the strangersH1481 with them out of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, and out of SimeonH8095: for they fellH5307 to him out of IsraelH3478 in abundanceH7230, when they sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 his GodH430 was with him.
And he that regardedH7760+H3820 not the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 leftH5800 his servantsH5650 and his cattleH4735 in the fieldH7704. {regarded…: Heb. set not his heart unto}
But unto the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 shall chooseH977 out of all your tribesH7626 to putH7760 his nameH8034 there, even unto his habitationH7933 shall ye seekH1875, and thither thou shalt comeH935:
Nevertheless diversH582 of AsherH836 and ManassehH4519 and of ZebulunH2074 humbledH3665 themselves, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
And he saidH559 unto them, SetH7760 your heartsH3824 unto all the wordsH1697 which I testifyH5749 among you this dayH3117, which ye shall commandH6680 your childrenH1121 to observeH8104 to doH6213, all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451.
And thither ye shall bringH935 your burnt offeringsH5930, and your sacrificesH2077, and your tithesH4643, and heave offeringsH8641 of your handH3027, and your vowsH5088, and your freewill offeringsH5071, and the firstlingsH1062 of your herdsH1241 and of your flocksH6629:
For a multitudeH4768 of the peopleH5971, even manyH7227 of EphraimH669, and ManassehH4519, IssacharH3485, and ZebulunH2074, had notH3808 cleansedH2891 themselves, yet did they eatH398 the passoverH6453 otherwise than it was writtenH3789. But HezekiahH3169 prayedH6419 for them, sayingH559, The goodH2896 LORDH3068 pardonH3722 every one
And SamuelH8050 spakeH559 unto all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, If ye do returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 with all your heartsH3824, then put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 and AshtarothH6252 from amongH8432 you, and prepareH3559 your heartsH3824 unto the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him only: and he will deliverH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
Then there shall be a placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 shall chooseH977 to cause his nameH8034 to dwellH7931 there; thither shall ye bringH935 all that I commandH6680 you; your burnt offeringsH5930, and your sacrificesH2077, your tithesH4643, and the heave offeringH8641 of your handH3027, and all your choiceH4005 vowsH5088 which ye vowH5087 unto the LORDH3068: {your choice…: Heb. the choice of your vows}
That preparethH3559 his heartH3824 to seekH1875 GodH430, the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1, though he be not cleansed according to the purificationH2893 of the sanctuaryH6944.
Then the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did put awayH5493 BaalimH1168 and AshtarothH6252, and servedH5647 the LORDH3068 only.
Take heedH8104 to thyself that thou offerH5927 not thy burnt offeringsH5930 in every placeH4725 that thou seestH7200:
NotwithstandingH389, if the landH776 of your possessionH272 be uncleanH2931, then pass ye overH5674 unto the landH776 of the possessionH272 of the LORDH3068, wherein the LORD'SH3068 tabernacleH4908 dwellethH7931, and take possessionH270 amongH8432 us: but rebelH4775 not against the LORDH3068, norH408 rebelH4775 against us, in buildingH1129 you an altarH4196 besideH1107 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Now setH5414 your heartH3824 and your soulH5315 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 your GodH430; ariseH6965 therefore, and buildH1129 ye the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068 GodH430, to bringH935 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and the holyH6944 vesselsH3627 of GodH430, into the houseH1004 that is to be builtH1129 to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
But in the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 in oneH259 of thy tribesH7626, there thou shalt offerH5927 thy burnt offeringsH5930, and there thou shalt doH6213 all that I commandH6680 thee.

If he setH7760 his heartH3820 upon man, if he gatherH622 unto himself his spiritH7307 and his breathH5397; {man: Heb. him}
GiveH3051 unto the LORDH3068 the gloryH3519 due unto his nameH8034: bringH5375 an offeringH4503, and comeH935 beforeH6440 him: worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 in the beautyH1927 of holinessH6944.
TrustH982 not in oppressionH6233, and become not vainH1891 in robberyH1498: if richesH2428 increaseH5107, setH7896 not your heartH3820 upon them.
Then DavidH1732 saidH559, This is the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430, and this is the altarH4196 of the burnt offeringH5930 for IsraelH3478.
A SongH7892 or PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. O GodH430, my heartH3820 is fixedH3559; I will singH7891 and give praiseH2167, even with my gloryH3519.
ThenH116 the kingH4430, when he heardH8086 these wordsH4406, was soreH7690 displeasedH888 with himself, and setH7761 his heartH1079 onH5922 DanielH1841 to deliverH7804 him: and he labouredH1934+H7712 tillH5705 the going downH4606 of the sunH8122 to deliverH5338 him.
