Καὶ ἤλθεν Ῥοβοὰμ εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐξεκλησίασεν τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ Βενιαμείν, ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα χιλιάδες νεανίσκων ποιοὐνταων πόλεμον· καὶ ἐπολέμει πρὸς Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Ῥοβοάμ.

καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Σαμαίαν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ λέγων 3Εἰπὸν πρὸς Ῥοβοὰμ τὸν τοῦ Σαλωμὼν
καὶ πάντα Ἰούδαν καὶ Βενιαμεὶν λέγων

Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Οὐκ ἀναθήσεσθε καὶ οὐ πολεμήσετε πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν· ἀποστρέφετε ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι παρʼ ἐμοῦ ἐγένετο τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο. καὶ ἐπήκουσαν τοῦ λόγου Κυρίου, καὶ ἀπεστράφησαν τοῦ μὴ πορευθῆναι ¹² ἐπὶ Ἰεροβοάμ.

καὶ κατήκησεν Ῥοβοὰμ εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ³ ᾠκοδόμησεν πόλεις τειχήρεις ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ.

καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν Βαιθσέεμ καὶ Ἀπὰν καὶ εκῶῶε,

καὶ Βαιθσουρὰ καὶ τὴν Σοκχὼθ καὶ τὴν Οδολάμ,

καὶ τὴν Γὲθ καὶ τὴν Μαρεισὰν καὶ τὴν Σείββ,

καὶ τὴν Ἀδωραὶ καὶ ΔΛαχεὶς καὶ τὴν Ἀζηκὰ,

καὶ τὴν Σαραὰ καὶ τὴν Ἀλδὼν καὶ τὴν Χεβρὼν ἥ ἐστιν τοῦ Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμείν, πόλεις τειχήρεις.

καὶ ὠχύρωσεν αὐτὰς τειχήρεις, καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡγουμένους καὶ παραθέσεις βρωμάτων, ἔλαιον καὶ οἶνον,

κατὰ πόλιν καὶ κατὰ πόλιν θυρεοὺς καὶ δόρατα, καὶ κατίσχυσεν αὐτὰς εἰς πλῆθος σφόδρα· καὶ ἤσαν αὐτῷ Ἰουδὰ καὶ Βενιαμείν.

καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ ἦσαν ἐν παντὶ Ἰσραὴλ συνήχθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐκ πάντων τῶν ὁρίων·

ὅτι ἐνκατέλιπον οἱ Λευεῖται τὰ σκηνάματα τῆς κατασχέσεαως αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν πρὸς Ἰουδἀ εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, ὅτι ἐξέβαλλεν αὐτοὺς Ἰεροβοὰμ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ μὴ λειτουργεῖν Κυρίῳ.

καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτῷ ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ τοῖς εἰδώλοις καὶ τοῖς ματαίοις καὶ τοῖς μόσχοις, ἃ ἐποίησεν
Ἰεροβοάμ· ¹⁶καὶ ἐξέβαλεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ φυλῶν Ἰσραὴλ οἵ ἔδωκαν καρδίαν αὐτῶν τοῦ ζητῆσαι Κύριον θεὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἥλθον εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ θῦσαι Κυρίῳ θεῷ τῶν τέρων αὐτῶν.

καὶ κατίσχυσαν τὴν βασιλείαν Ἰούδα· καὶ κατίσχυσεν Ῥοβοὰμ τὸν τοῦ Σαλωμὼν εἰς ἔτη τρία, ὅτι ἐπορεύθη ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς Δαυεὶδ καὶ Σαλωμὼν ἔτη τρία.

καὶ ἔλαβεν ἑαυτῷ Ῥοβοὰμ γυναῖκα τὴν Μολλὰθ θυγατέρα Ἰεριμοὺθ υἱοῦ Δαυείδ, Βαίαν θυγατέρα Ἐλιὰν τοῦ Ἰεσσαί.

καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ υἱοὺς τὸν Ἰαοὺθ καὶ τὸν Σαμαρίαν καὶ τὸν Ῥοολλάμ.

καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἔλαβεν ἑαυτῷ τὴν Μααχὰ θυγατέρα Ἀβεσσαλώμ, καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ τὸν Ἀβιὰ καὶ τὸν Ἰεθθεὶ καὶ τὸν Ζειζὰ καὶ τὸν Ἐμμώθ.

καὶ ἠγάπησεν Ῥοβοὰμ τὴν Μαάχαν θυγατέρα Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ὑπέρ πάσας τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς παλλακὰς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι γυναῖκας δέκα ὀκτὼ εἰχεν καὶ παλλακὰς τριάκοντα· ⁴⁶ καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς εἴκοσι ὀκτὼ καὶ θυγατέρας ἐξήκοντα.

καὶ κατέστησεν εἰς ἄρχοντα Ἀβιὰ τὸν τῆς Μααχὰ εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι βασλεῦσαι διενοεῖτο αὐτόν.

καὶ ηὐξήθη παρὰ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ὁρίοις Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμεὶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν ταῖς ὀχυραῖς, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐταῖς τροφὰς πλῆθος πολύ, καὶ ήτήσατο πλῆθος γυναικῶν.

II Chronicles Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 11 focus

When Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.

But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

Thus says Yahweh, You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they listened to the words of Yahweh, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.

He built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,

Beth Zur, and Soco, and Adullam,

and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,

and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,

and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.

He fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of victuals, and oil and wine.

In every city [he put] shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.

The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border.

For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office to Yahweh;

and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made.

After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.

So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.

Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, [and of] Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;

and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.

After her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)

Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, [even] the prince among his brothers; for [he was minded] to make him king.

He dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them victuals in abundance. He sought [for them] many wives.
