11 En er Rehabeam kom til Jerúsalem, safnaði hann saman Júdamönnum og Benjamínsættkvísl, hundrað og áttatíu þúsundum einvalaliðs, til þess að berjast við Ísrael og ná konungdóminum aftur undir Rehabeam.
2 En orð Drottins kom til Semaja guðsmanns, svolátandi:
3 "Tala þú svo til Rehabeams, sonar Salómons, konungs í Júda, og til allra Ísraelsmanna í Júda og Benjamín:
4 Svo segir Drottinn: Farið eigi og berjist eigi við bræður yðar. Fari hver heim til sín, því að minni tilhlutun er þetta orðið." Og er þeir heyrðu orð Drottins, hurfu þeir aftur og hættu við að fara á móti Jeróbóam.
5 Rehabeam bjó síðan í Jerúsalem. Og hann gjörði nokkrar borgir í Júda að köstulum,
6 og hann gjörði Betlehem, Etam, Tekóa,
7 Bet Súr, Sókó, Adúllam,
8 Gat, Maresa, Síf,
9 Adóraím, Lakís, Aseka,
10 Sorea, Ajalon og Hebron, sem eru í Júda og Benjamín, að kastalaborgum.
11 Gjörði hann kastalana rammgjörva, setti þar höfðingja fyrir og lét þar forða vista, olíu og víns.
12 Og í hverja borg lét hann skjöldu og spjót, og víggirti þær afar rammlega. Og Júda og Benjamín lutu honum.
13 Prestarnir og levítarnir, er voru um allan Ísrael, komu úr öllum héruðum sínum og gengu honum til handa.
14 Því að levítarnir yfirgáfu beitilönd sín og óðul og fóru til Júda og Jerúsalem, því að Jeróbóam og synir hans höfðu rekið þá úr prestþjónustu fyrir Drottni,
15 og hafði hann sjálfur skipað sér presta fyrir fórnarhæðirnar og skógartröllin og kálfana, er hann hafði gjöra látið.
16 Og þeim fylgdu þeir af öllum ættkvíslum Ísraels, er lögðu hug á að leita Drottins, Guðs Ísraels. Komu þeir til Jerúsalem til þess að færa fórnir Drottni, Guði feðra þeirra.
17 Og þeir efldu Júdaríki og styrktu Rehabeam, son Salómons, í þrjú ár. Því að þeir fetuðu í fótspor Davíðs og Salómons í þrjú ár.
18 Og Rehabeam tók sér fyrir konu Mahalat, dóttur Jerímóts Davíðssonar og Abíhaílar, dóttur Elíabs Ísaísonar.
19 Ól hún honum sonu: Jeús, Semarja og Saham.
20 Og eftir hana fékk hann Maöku Absalonsdóttur. Hún ól honum Abía, Attaí, Sísa og Selómít.
21 Og Rehabeam unni Maöku Absalonsdóttur meira en öllum öðrum konum sínum og hjákonum, því að hann hafði tekið sér átján konur og sextíu hjákonur, og gat tuttugu og átta sonu og sextán dætur.
22 Og Rehabeam gjörði Abía, son Maöku, að ætthöfðingja, að höfðingja meðal bræðra sinna, því að hann hugðist mundu gjöra hann að konungi.
23 Og hann fór hyggilega að ráði sínu og skipti öllum sonum sínum niður á öll héruð í Júda og Benjamín, niður á allar kastalaborgir, fékk þeim gnóttir vista og bað þeim fjölda kvenna.
2 Chronicles 11
New International Version
2 Chronicles 11
New International Version
11 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem,(A) he mustered Judah and Benjamin—a hundred and eighty thousand able young men—to go to war against Israel and to regain the kingdom for Rehoboam.
2 But this word of the Lord came to Shemaiah(B) the man of God: 3 “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, 4 ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not go up to fight against your fellow Israelites.(C) Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.’” So they obeyed the words of the Lord and turned back from marching against Jeroboam.
Rehoboam Fortifies Judah
5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built up towns for defense in Judah: 6 Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, 7 Beth Zur, Soko, Adullam, 8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, 9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, 10 Zorah, Aijalon and Hebron. These were fortified cities(D) in Judah and Benjamin. 11 He strengthened their defenses and put commanders in them, with supplies of food, olive oil and wine. 12 He put shields and spears in all the cities, and made them very strong. So Judah and Benjamin were his.
13 The priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel sided with him. 14 The Levites(E) even abandoned their pasturelands and property(F) and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the Lord 15 when he appointed(G) his own priests(H) for the high places and for the goat(I) and calf(J) idols he had made. 16 Those from every tribe of Israel(K) who set their hearts on seeking the Lord, the God of Israel, followed the Levites to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 17 They strengthened(L) the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon three years, following the ways of David and Solomon during this time.
Rehoboam’s Family
18 Rehoboam married Mahalath, who was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth and of Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab. 19 She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah and Zaham. 20 Then he married Maakah(M) daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abijah,(N) Attai, Ziza and Shelomith. 21 Rehoboam loved Maakah daughter of Absalom more than any of his other wives and concubines. In all, he had eighteen wives(O) and sixty concubines, twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah(P) son of Maakah as crown prince among his brothers, in order to make him king. 23 He acted wisely, dispersing some of his sons throughout the districts of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the fortified cities. He gave them abundant provisions(Q) and took many wives for them.

2 Chronicles 11
King James Version
11 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
12 And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the Lord:
15 And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord God of their fathers.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
18 And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19 Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
