RECHAB AM RETURNS TO YERU SHALEM
And Rechab Am comes to Yeru Shalem and he congregates a hundred and eighty thousand chosen of the house of Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin who work war - to fight Yisra El to return the sovereigndom to Rechab Am. 2 And the word of Yah Veh comes to Shema Yah the man of Elohim, saying, 3 Say to Rechab Am son of Shelomoh sovereign of Yah Hudah and to all Yisra El in Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin, saying, 4 Thus says Yah Veh, Neither ascend nor fight against your brothers: return, every man to his house: for this word is from me. - and they hear the words of Yah Veh and return from going against Yarob Am. 5 And Rechab Am settles in Yeru Shalem and builds cities for rampart in Yah Hudah: 6 yes, he builds Beth Lechem and Etam and Teqoha 7 and Beth Sur and Sochoh and Adullam 8 and Gath and Mareshah and Ziph 9 and Adorayim and Lachish and Azeqah 10 and Sorah and Ayalon and Hebron in Yah Hudah and in Ben Yamin - rampart cities: 11 and he strengthens the ramparts and gives eminence in them and treasure of food and of oil and wine: 12 and city by city, shields and javelins; and strengthens them aboundingly mighty; and he has Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin. 13 And the priests and the Leviym in all Yisra El stand by him from every border: 14 for the Leviym left their suburbs and their possession and come to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem: because Yarob Am and his sons abandoned them from priesting to Yah Veh. 15 And he stands priests for the bamahs and for the bucks and for the calves he works: 16 and after them, from all the scions of Yisra El, such as give their hearts to seek Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, come to Yeru Shalem to sacrifice to Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers. 17 And they strengthen the sovereigndom of Yah Hudah and strengthen Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh: for three years they walk in the way of David and Shelomoh. 18 And Rechab Am takes Machalath the daughter of Yerimoth the son of David to woman; and Abi Hail the daughter of Eli Ab the son of Yishay; 19 who birth him sons: Yeush and Shemar Yah and Zaham. 20 And after her he takes Maachah the daughter of Abi Shalom; who births him Abi Yah and Attay and Ziza and Shelomith. 21 And Rechab Am loves Maachah the daughter of Abi Shalom above all his women and his concubines: - for he has eighteen women and sixty concubines; and births twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters. 22 And Rechab Am stands Abi Yah the son of Maachah the head - eminent among his brothers: to have him reign: 23 and he discerns and separates all his sons throughout all the lands of Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin - to every rampart city: and he gives them food in abundance: and he asks a multitude of women.
