Rehoboam Reigns over Judah and Builds Cities
1 1Now when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, 180,000 * * chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
2
But the word of the LORD came to 2Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3
"Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4
'Thus says the LORD, "You shall not go up or fight against 3your relatives; return every man to his house, 4for this thing is from Me.""' So they listened to the words of the LORD and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5
Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and 5built cities for defense in Judah.
6
Thus he built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7
Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam,
8
Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
9
Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10
Zorah, Aijalon and Hebron, which are fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin.
11
He also strengthened the fortresses and put officers in them and stores of food, oil and wine.
12
He put shields and spears in every city and strengthened them greatly *. So he held Judah and Benjamin.
13
Moreover, the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him from all their districts.
Jeroboam Appoints False Priests
14 For 6the Levites left their pasture lands and their property and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for 7Jeroboam and his sons had excluded them from serving as priests to the LORD.
15
8He set up priests of his own for the high places, for the satyrs and for the calves which he had made.
16
9Those from all the tribes of Israel who set their hearts on seeking the LORD God of Israel followed them to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers.
17
10They strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam the son of Solomon for three years, for they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
Rehoboam's Family
18 Then Rehoboam took as a wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of 11Eliab the son of Jesse,
19
and she bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah and Zaham.
20
After her he took 12Maacah the daughter of Absalom, and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza and Shelomith.
21
Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom more than all his other wives and concubines. For 13he had taken eighteen * wives and sixty concubines and fathered twenty-eight * sons and sixty daughters.
22
14Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah as head and leader among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.
23
He acted wisely and distributed some of his sons through all the territories of Judah and Benjamin to all the fortified cities, and he gave them food in abundance. And he sought many wives for them.
