to
Ierusalem,
he
gathered
of
the
house
of
Iudah
and

an
hundred
and
fourescore
thousand
chosen
men,
which
were
warriers,
to
fight
against

that
hee
might
bring
the

againe
to

2
But
the
worde
of
the
Lord
came
to
Shemaiah
the
man
of
God,
saying,
3
Speake
vnto
Rehoboam
the
son
of
Solomon,
king
of
Iudah,
and
to
all
Israel
in
Iudah
&
Beniamin,
saying,
4
Thus
saith
the
Lord;
Ye
shall
not
goe
vp,
nor
fight
against
your
brethren:
returne
euery
man
to
his
house,
for
this
thing
is
done
of
me.
And
they
obeyed
the
words
of
the
Lord,
and
returned
from
going
against
Ieroboam.
5
And
Rehoboam
dwelt
in
Ierusalem,
and
built
cities
for
defence
in
Iudah.
6
He
built
euen
Bethlehem,
and
Etam,
and
Tekoa,
7
And
Bethzur,
and
Shoco,
and
Adullam,
8
And
Gath,
and
Maresha,
and
Ziph,
9
And
Adoraim,
and
Lachish,
and
Azekah,
10
And
Zorah,
and
Aialon,
and
Hebron,
which
are
in

and
in

fenced
cities.
11
And
he
fortified
the
strong
holds,
and
put
captaines
in
them,
and
store
of
vitaile,
and
of
oyle
and

12
And
in
euery
seuerall
citie
he
put
shields
and
speares,
and
made
them
exceeding
strong,
hauing
Iudah
and
Beniamin
on

13
And
the
Priests
and
the
Leuites
that
were
in
all
Israel,
resorted
to
him
out
of
all
their
coasts.
14
For
the
Leuites
left
their
suburbs,
and
their
possession,
and
came
to
Iudah
and
Ierusalem:
for
Ieroboam
and
his
sonnes
had
cast
them
off
from
executing

Priests
office
vnto
the
Lord.
15
And
hee
ordeined
him
priests
for
the
high
places,
and
for
the
deuils,
and
for
the
calues
which
he
had
made.
16
And
after
them
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
such
as
set
their
hearts
to
seeke
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
came
to
Ierusalem,
to
sacrifice
vnto
the
Lord
God
of
their
fathers.
17
So
they
strengthened
the
kingdome
of
Iudah,
and
made
Rehoboam
the
sonne
of
Solomon
strong,
three
yeeres:
for
three
yeeres
they
walked
in
the
way
of
Dauid
and
Solomon.
18
And
Rehoboam
tooke
him
Mahalath
the
daughter
of
Ierimoth
the
sonne
of
Dauid
to
wife,
and
Abihail
the
daughter
of
Eliab
the
son
of
Iesse:
19
Which
bare
him
children,
Ieush,
and
Shamariah,
and
Zaham.
20
And
after
her,
hee
tooke
Maacah
the
daughter
of
Absalom,
which
bare
him
Abiiah,
and
Atthai,
and
Ziza,
and
Shelomith.
21
And
Rehoboam
loued
Maacah
the
daughter
of
Absalom,
aboue
all
his
wiues
and
his
concubines:
for
he
tooke
eighteene
wiues,
and
threescore
concubines,
and
begate
twentie
and
eight
sonnes,
and
threescore
daughters.
22
And
Rehoboam
made
Abiiah
the
sonne
of
Maacah
the
chiefe,
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
Iudah
and
Beniamin,
vnto
euery
fenced
citie:
and
he
gaue
them
vitaile
in
abundance:
and
hee
desired
many
wiues.
