Clementine_Vulgate⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Venit autem Roboam in Jerusalem, et convocavit universam domum Juda et Benjamin, centum octoginta millia electorum atque bellantium, ut dimicaret contra Israël, et converteret ad se regnum suum. ² Factusque est sermo Domini ad Semeiam hominem Dei, dicens: ³ Loquere ad Roboam filium Salomonis regem Juda, et ad universum Israël, qui est in Juda et Benjamin: ⁴ Hæc dicit Dominus: Non ascendetis, neque pugnabitis contra fratres vestros: revertatur unusquisque in domum suam, quia mea hoc gestum est voluntate. Qui cum audissent sermonem Domini, reversi sunt, nec perrexerunt contra Jeroboam. ⁵ Habitavit autem Roboam in Jerusalem, et ædificavit civitates muratas in Juda. ⁶ Exstruxitque Bethlehem, et Etam, et Thecue, ⁷ Bethsur quoque, et Socho, et Odollam, ⁸ necnon et Geth, et Maresa, et Ziph, ⁹ sed et Aduram, et Lachis, et Azeca, ¹⁰ Saraa quoque, et Ajalon, et Hebron, quæ erant in Juda et Benjamin, civitates munitissimas. ¹¹ Cumque clausisset eas muris, posuit in eis principes, ciborumque horrea, hoc est, olei, et vini. ¹² Sed et in singulis urbibus fecit armamentarium scutorum et hastarum, firmavitque eas summa diligentia, et imperavit super Judam et Benjamin. ¹³ Sacerdotes autem et Levitæ qui erant in universo Israël, venerunt ad eum de cunctis sedibus suis, ¹⁴ relinquentes suburbana et possessiones suas, et transeuntes ad Judam et Jerusalem: eo quod abjecisset eos Jeroboam et posteri ejus, ne sacerdotio Domini fungerentur. ¹⁵ Qui constituit sibi sacerdotes excelsorum, et dæmoniorum, vitulorumque quos fecerat. ¹⁶ Sed et de cunctis tribubus Israël, quicumque dederant cor suum ut quærerent Dominum Deum Israël, venerunt in Jerusalem ad immolandum victimas suas coram Domino Deo patrum suorum. ¹⁷ Et roboraverunt regnum Juda, et confirmaverunt Roboam filium Salomonis per tres annos: ambulaverunt enim in viis David et Salomonis, annis tantum tribus. ¹⁸ Duxit autem Roboam uxorem Mahalath filiam Jerimoth filii David: Abihail quoque filiam Eliab filii Isai, ¹⁹ quæ peperit ei filios Jehus, et Somoriam, et Zoom. ²⁰ Post hanc quoque accepit Maacha filiam Absalom, quæ peperit ei Abia, et Ethai, et Ziza, et Salomith. ²¹ Amavit autem Roboam Maacha filiam Absalom super omnes uxores suas et concubinas: nam uxores decem et octo duxerat, concubinas autem sexaginta: et genuit viginti octo filios, et sexaginta filias. ²² Constituit vero in capite Abiam filium Maacha ducem super omnes fratres suos: ipsum enim regem facere cogitabat, ²³ quia sapientior fuit, et potentior super omnes filios ejus, et in cunctis finibus Juda et Benjamin, et in universis civitatibus muratis: præbuitque eis escas plurimas, et multas petivit uxores.

And Iuda and BenIamin were vnder him. ¹³ The Prestes and Leuites also came vnto him out of Israel and from all the borders therof, ¹⁴ And lefte their suburbes & possession, and came to Iuda vnto Ierusalem: for Ieroboam and his sonnes expelled them, that they shulde not execute the offyce of ye presthode vnto ye LORDE. ¹⁵ But for himselfe he fouded prestes to ye hye places, & to feldedeuels & calues, which he caused to make. ¹⁶ And after them came there men out of all the trybes of Israel, which gaue ouer their hertes to seke ye LORDE God of Israel, & came to Ierusale for to offre vnto the LORDE God of their fathers. ¹⁷ And so strengthed they ye kingdome of Iuda, and matayned Roboam the sonne of Salomon thre yeare longe: for they walked in ye waye of Dauid & Salomon thre yeares. ¹⁸ And Roboam toke Mahelath ye doughter of Ieremoth ye sonne of Dauid to wife, & Abihail the doughter of Eliab ye sonne of Isai, ¹⁹ which bare him these sonnes: Ieus, Semaria & Saham. ²⁰ After her toke he Maecha the doughter of Absalom, which bare him Abia, Athai Sisa and Selomith. ²¹ But Roboam loued Maecha the doughter of Absalom better then all his wyues & concubynes: for he had eightene wyues and thre score cocubynes, and begat eight & twentye sonnes, and thre score doughters. ²² And Roboam set Abia the sonne of Maecha to be heade and prynce amonge his brethren: for he thoughte to make him kynge: ²³ for he was wyse, & more mightie then all his sonnes in all the countrees of Iuda & Ben Iamin, and in all the stronge cities.

And so Judah and Benjamin were under him. ¹³ And the priests and Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him, out of all their coasts. ¹⁴ Insomuch that the Levites left their suburbs and possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them out from ministering unto the LORD. ¹⁵ And he ordained him priests of hill altars - both to field devils and also to the calves which he had made. ¹⁶ And after them came there men out of all the tribes of Israel, which gave over their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel, and came to Jerusalem to offer unto the LORD God of their fathers. ¹⁷ And so they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon mighty three years long — 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, Shemariah, and Zaham. ²⁰ And after her, he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom which bare him Abijah, Attai, Ziza and Shelomith. ²¹ But Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and concubines for he took eighteen wives and three score concubines, and begat three score daughters and twenty eight sons. ²² And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maacah the chief ruler among his brethren, for to make him king. ²³ And he played wisely and scattered of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin in every strong city.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when Roboam came to Jerusalem and had assembled of Juda and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of the young men who were warriors, and was going to war with Israel, to restore the kingdom to Roboam; ² a word of the Lord came to Samaias, a man of God, saying, ³ Speak to Roboam son of Solomon, and to all Juda and Benjamin, and say, ⁴ Thus saith the Lord, You shall not go up nor fight with your brethren. Return every man to his house, for this thing is done by me. So they hearkened to the word of the Lord, and did not go up against Jeroboam. ⁵ And Roboam dwelt at Jerusalem and built walled cities in Judea. ⁶ He built Bethlehem and Aitan and Thekoe ⁷ and Bathsura and Sokchoth and Odollam ⁸ and Geth and Marisa and Ziph ⁹ and Adorai and Lachis and Azeka ¹⁰ and Saraa and Ailom and Chebron, walled cities of Juda and Benjamin. ¹¹ And when he had strengthened them with walls, he appointed governors in them, with stores of provisions, oil and wine. ¹² And in every city he put shields and spears, and made them very strong. Now there were with him Juda and Benjamin. ¹³ And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel, resorted to him, from all their borders. ¹⁴ For the Levites left the habitations of their possession and went to Juda to Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them out from ministering to the Lord, ¹⁵ and made for himself priests of the high places for the idols, and the vanities and the calves which Jeroboam made. ¹⁶ He expelled also from among the tribes of Israel them who set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers, ¹⁷ and strengthened the kingdom of Juda. So he strengthened Roboam son of Solomon three years, because for three years he walked in the ways of David and Solomon. ¹⁸ Now Roboam took for himself to wife Moolath a daughter of Jerimouth a son of David, and Abigaia a daughter of Eliab the son of Jessai, ¹⁹ who bore him sons, namely Jeus and Samoria and Zaam; ²⁰ and after that he took to wife Maacha a daughter of Abessalom, and she bore him Abia and Jetthi and Zoza and Salemoth. ²¹ And Roboam loved Maacha, daughter of Abessalom, more than all his wives and concubines, [for he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and by them he had twenty eight sons and sixty daughters;] ²² so he appointed Abia the son of Maacha to be chief and ruler among his brothers. Because he determined to make him king, ²³ therefore he was exalted above all his sons in all the borders of Juda and Benjamin, and in fortified cities. And he supplied these cities with provisions in abundance, and procured for him a multitude of wives.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who 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 to 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 by 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 defense in Judah. ⁶ He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, ⁷ And Beth-zur, and Shocho, and Adullam, ⁸ And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, ⁹ And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, ¹⁰ And Zorah, and Ajalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities. ¹¹ And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of provisions, 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 from all their borders. 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 to 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 to 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 to himself Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David for a wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; ¹⁹ Who bore him children, Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham. ²⁰ And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; who bore 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 sixty concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and sixty 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, to every fortified city: and he gave them provisions in abundance.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And when Rehobo’am was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom again to Rehobo’am. ² But the word of the Lord came unto Shema’yahu the man of God, saying, ³ Say unto Rehobo’am the son of Solomon, the king of Judah and Benjamin, saying, ⁴ Thus hath said the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight with your brethren: return every man to his house; for from me hath this thing been brought about. And they hearkened to the words of the Lord, and returned from going against Jerobo’am. ⁵ And Rehobo’am dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities as fortresses in Judah. ⁶ He built, namely, Beth-lechem, and ‘Etam, and Thekoa’. ⁷ And Beth-zur, and Socho, and ‘Adullam, ⁸ And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, ⁹ And Adorayim and Lachish, and ‘Azekah, ¹⁰ And Zor’ah, and Ayalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities. ¹¹ And he strengthened the strong-holds, and put commanders in them, and stores of food, and oil and wine; ¹² And in each and every city he placed shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong: and thus remained with him Judah and Benjamin. ¹³ And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their territory. ¹⁴ For the Levites left their open districts and their possession, and went to Judah and Jerusalem; because Jerobo’am and his sons cast them off from executing the priest’s office unto the Lord, ¹⁵ And because he ordained for himself priests for the high-places, and for the evil spirits, and for the calves which he had made. ¹⁶ And after them came out of all the tribes of Israel such as directed their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel: these came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord, the God of their fathers. ¹⁷ And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and brought power to Rehobo’am, the son of Solomon, during three years; for they walked in the way of David and Solomon during three years. ¹⁸ And Rehobo’am took himself as wife Machalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and Abichayil the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; ¹⁹ And she bore to him sons: Je’ush, and Shamaryah, and Zaham. ²⁰ And after her did he take Ma’achah the daughter of Abshalom; and she bore to him Abiyah, and ‘Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. ²¹ And Rehobo’am loved Ma’achah the daughter of Abshalom more than all his wives and his concubines; for he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines; and he begat twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters. ²² And Rehobo’am appointed Abiyah the son of Ma’achah to be the chief, to be ruler among his brethren; because he desired to make him king. ²³ And he dealt understandingly, and dispersed all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto all the fortified cities; and he gave them food in abundance and he required for them a multitude of wives.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Rehoboam cometh in to Jerusalem, and assembleth the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam. ² And a word of Jehovah is unto Shemaiah, a man of God, saying, ³ `Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, ⁴ Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your brethren, turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this thing been;' and they hear the words of Jehovah, and turn back from going against Jeroboam. ⁵ And Rehoboam dwelleth in Jerusalem, and buildeth cities for a bulwark in Judah, ⁶ yea, he buildeth Beth-Lehem and Etam, and Tekoa, ⁷ and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam, ⁸ and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, ⁹ and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, ¹⁰ and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that are in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks. ¹¹ And he strengtheneth the bulwarks, and putteth in them leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine, ¹² and in every city and city targets and spears, and strengtheneth them very greatly; and he hath Judah and Benjamin.
¹³ And the priests, and the Levites, that are in all Israel, have stationed themselves by him, out of all their border, ¹⁴ for the Levites have left their suburbs and their possession, and they come to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons have cast them off from acting as priests to Jehovah, ¹⁵ and he establisheth to him priests for high places, and for goats, and for calves, that he made— ¹⁶ and after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those giving their heart to seek Jehovah, God of Israel, have come in to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, God of their father. ¹⁷ And they strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and strengthen Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years. ¹⁸ And Rehoboam taketh to him a wife, Mahalath, child of Jerimoth son of David, and Abigail daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse. ¹⁹ And she beareth to him sons, Jeush, and Shamaria, and Zaham. ²⁰ And after her he hath taken Maachah daughter of Absalom, and she beareth to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. ²¹ And Rehoboam loveth Maachah daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines—for eighteen wives he hath taken, and sixty concubines—and he begetteth twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters. ²² And Rehoboam appointeth for head Abijah son of Maachah, for leader among his brethren, for to cause him to reign. ²³ And he hath understanding, and spreadeth out of all his sons to all lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all cities of the bulwarks, and giveth to them provision in abundance; and he asketh a multitude of wives.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Rehoboam will come to Jerusalem, and he will convoke together the house of Judah and Benjamin a hundred and eighty thousand chosen, making war to fight with Israel, to turn back the kingdom to Rehoboam. ² And the word of Jehovah will be to Shemaiah a man of God, saying, ³ Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, ⁴ Thus said Jehovah, Ye shall not go up, and ye shall not war with your brethren: turn ye back each to his house: for from me was this word.

16 H310 And after H7626 them, out of all the tribes H3478 of Israel, H5414 such as set H3824 their hearts H1245 to seek H3068 Jehovah, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H935 came H3389 to Jerusalem H2076 to sacrifice H3068 unto Jehovah, H430 the God H1 of their fathers.

17 H2388 So they strengthened H4438 the kingdom H3063 of Judah, H7346 and made Rehoboam H1121 the son H8010 of Solomon H553 strong, H7969 three H8141 years; H1980 for they walked H7969 three H8141 years H1870 in the way H1732 of David H8010 and Solomon.

18 H7346 And Rehoboam H3947 took H802 him a wife, H4258 Mahalath H1323 the daughter H3406 of Jerimoth H1121 the son H1732 of David, H32 and of Abihail H1323 the daughter H446 of Eliab H1121 the son H3448 of Jesse;

23 H995 And he dealt wisely, H6555 and dispersed H1121 of all his sons H776 throughout all the lands H3063 of Judah H1144 and Benjamin, H4694 unto every fortified H5892 city: H5414 and he gave H4202 them victuals H7230 in abundance. H7592 And he sought H1995 for them many H802 wives.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom back 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 of Me.' So they hearkened unto 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 Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, ⁷ and Beth-zur, and Soco, 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, fortified cities. ¹¹ And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and oil and wine. ¹² And in every city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. And Judah and Benjamin adhered to him. ¹³ And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their border. ¹⁴ For the Levites left their open land 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 unto the LORD; ¹⁵ and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the satyrs, 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, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice unto the LORD, the God of their fathers. ¹⁷ 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. ¹⁸ And 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; ¹⁹ and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham. ²⁰ And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. ²¹ And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines - for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines, and begot twenty and eight sons and threescore daughters. ²² And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, even the prince among his brethren; for he was minded to make him king. ²³ And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fortified city; and he gave them victual in abundance. And he sought for them many wives.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And when Rehoboam had entered Jerusalem, he called together the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors,––to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam. ² Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying: ³ Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah,––and unto all Israel in Judah and in Benjamin, saying: ⁴ Thus, saith Yahweh, Ye shall not go up neither shall ye fight against your brethren, return every man to his own house, for, from me, hath this thing been brought about. So they hearkened unto the words of Yahweh, and turned back from going against Jeroboam. ⁵ And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem,––and built cities for defence, in Judah; ⁶ yea he built Bethlehem and Etam, and Tekoa; ⁷ and Beth–zur and Soco, 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 Benjamin,––as fortified cities. ¹¹ And he strengthened the fortified places,––and put therein captains, and stores of food, and oil and wine; ¹² and, in every several city, shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong,––thus Judah and Benjamin remained his.
¹³ And, the priests and Levites that were in all Israel, took their stand with him, out of all their boundaries. ¹⁴ For the Levites left their pasture lands, and their possessions, and came to Judah, and to Jerusalem,––for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, from ministering as priests unto Yahweh; ¹⁵ and appointed for himself priests for the high places, and for the demons––and for the calves which he had made. ¹⁶ And, after them––out of all the tribes of Israel, such as were setting their heart to seek Yahweh God of Israel, came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto Yahweh, God of their fathers. ¹⁷ So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and emboldened Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years,––for they walked in the way of David and Solomon, for three years. ¹⁸ And Rehoboam took him to wife, Mahalath, daughter of Jerimoth, son of David,––and Abihail, daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse; ¹⁹ and she bare him sons,––Jeush and Shamariah and Zaham. ²⁰ And, after her, he took Maacah, daughter of Absolom,––and she bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. ²¹ And Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absolom, above all his wives and his concubines, for, eighteen wives, took he, and sixty concubines,––and begat twenty–eight sons, and sixty daughters. ²² So then Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as head, to be chief ruler among his brethren,––yea that he might make him king. ²³ So he took heed, and dispersed all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto all the fortified cities, and gave them food in abundance,––and asked a multitude of wives.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Rehoboam comes in to Jerusalem, and assembles the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam. ² And a word of Yahweh is unto Shemaiah, a man of Elohim, saying, ³ `Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, ⁴ Thus said Yahweh, You do not go up nor fight with your brethren, turn back each to his house, for from Me has this thing been;' and they hear the words of Yahweh, and turn back from going against Jeroboam. ⁵ And Rehoboam dwells in Jerusalem, and builds cities for a bulwark in Judah, ⁶ yea, he builds Beth-Lehem and Etam, and Tekoa, ⁷ and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam, ⁸ and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, ⁹ and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, ¹⁰ and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks. ¹¹ And he strengthens the bulwarks, and puts in them leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine, ¹² and in every city and city targets and spears, and strengthens them very greatly; and he has Judah and Benjamin. ¹³ And the priests, and the Levites, that [are] in all Israel, have stationed themselves by him, out of all their border, ¹⁴ for the Levites have left their suburbs and their possession, and they come to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons have cast them off from acting as priests to Yahweh, ¹⁵ and he establishes to him priests for high places, and for goats, and for calves, that he made-. ¹⁶ and after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those giving their heart to seek Yahweh, Elohim of Israel, have come in to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, Elohim of their father. ¹⁷ And they strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and strengthen Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years. ¹⁸ And Rehoboam takes to him a wife, Mahalath, child of Jerimoth son of David, [and] Abigail daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse. ¹⁹ And she bears to him sons, Jeush, and Shamaria, and Zaham. ²⁰ And after her he has taken Maachah daughter of Absalom, and she bears to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. ²¹ And Rehoboam loves Maachah daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines--for eighteen wives he has taken, and sixty concubines--and he begets twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters. ²² And Rehoboam appoints for head Abijah son of Maachah, for leader among his brethren, for to cause him to reign. ²³ And he has understanding, and spreads out of all his sons to all lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all cities of the bulwarks, and gives to them provision in abundance; and he asks a multitude of wives.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, and got together the men of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam. ² But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying, ³ Say to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, ⁴ The Lord has said, You are not to go to war against your brothers: let every man go back to his house, for this thing is my purpose. So they gave ear to the words of the Lord and were turned back from fighting against Jeroboam. ⁵ Now Rehoboam kept in Jerusalem, building walled towns in Judah. ⁶ He was the builder of Beth-lehem and Etam and Tekoa ⁷ And Beth-zur and Soco and Adullam ⁸ And Gath and Mareshah and Ziph ⁹ And Adoraim and Lachish and Azekah ¹⁰ And Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron, walled towns in Judah and Benjamin. ¹¹ And he made the walled towns strong, and he put captains in them and stores of food, oil, and wine. ¹² And in every town he put stores of body-covers and spears, and made them very strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his. ¹³ And the priests and Levites who were in all Israel came together to him from every part of their country. ¹⁴ For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord; ¹⁵ And he himself made priests for the high places, and for the images of he-goats and oxen which he had made. ¹⁶ And after them, from all the tribes of Israel, all those whose hearts were fixed and true to the Lord, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to make offerings to the Lord, the God of their fathers. ¹⁷ So they went on increasing the power of the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, strong for three years; and for three years they went in the ways of David and Solomon. ¹⁸ And Rehoboam took as his wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David and of Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse; ¹⁹ And she had sons by him, Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham. ²⁰ And after her he took Maacah, the daughter of Absalom; and she had Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith by him. ²¹ Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, was dearer to Rehoboam than all his wives and his servant-wives: for he had eighteen wives and sixty servant-wives, and was the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters. ²² Rehoboam made Abijah, the son of Maacah, chief and ruler among his brothers, for it was his purpose to make him king. ²³ And in his wisdom he had his sons stationed in every walled town through all the lands of Judah and Benjamin; and he gave them a great store of food, and took wives for them.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When Rehoboam had 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. ² But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah 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, nor fight against your brothers.

He fortified them greatly, having Judah and Benjamin on his side. ¹³ ¶ And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel gathered unto him out of all their borders. ¹⁴ For the Levites left their suburbs and their possessions 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 himself priests for the high places and for the demons and for the calves which he had made. ¹⁶ And from 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 for three years because they walked three years in the way of David and of Solomon. ¹⁸ And Rehoboam took Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David, to wife, and Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse; ¹⁹ who bore him sons: Jeush and Shamariah and Zaham. ²⁰ And after her he took Maachah, the daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith. ²¹ But Rehoboam loved Maachah, the daughter of Absalom, above all his wives and his concubines (for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines and begat twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.) ²² And Rehoboam made Abijah, the son of Maachah, as head and prince among his brethren, for he thought to make him king. ²³ And he caused him to be instructed and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city; and he gave them provisions in abundance. And he desired many wives.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem. And he assembled Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand young men fit for war, and he waged war with Israel to recover the kingdom to Rehoboam. ² Then the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, ³ Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, and to all Judah and Benjamin, saying, ⁴ Thus says the Lord: You shall not go up, and you shall not war against your brethren: return, everyone to his house; for this thing is from Me. And they hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam. ⁵ And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and he built walled cities in Judea. ⁶ And he built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, ⁷ Beth Zur, Sochoh, Adullam, ⁸ Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, ⁹ Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, ¹⁰ Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, which belong to Judah and Benjamin, walled cities. ¹¹ And he fortified them with walls, and placed in them captains, and stores of provisions, oil and wine, ¹² shields and spears in every city, and he fortified them very strongly, and he had Judah and Benjamin on his side . ¹³ And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel were gathered to him out of all the coasts. ¹⁴ For the Levites left the tents of their possession, and went to Judah to Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them so that they should not minister to the Lord. ¹⁵ And he made for himself priests of the high places, and for the idols, and for the vanities, and for the calves which Jeroboam made. ¹⁶ And he cast out from the tribes of Israel those who set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel. And they came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers. ¹⁷ And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah; and Judah strengthened Rehoboam the son of Solomon for three years, for he walked three years in the ways of David and Solomon. ¹⁸ And Rehoboam took to himself for a wife, Mahalath daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and Abihail daughter of Eliah the son of Jesse. ¹⁹ And she bore him sons: Jeush, Shamariah, and Zaham. ²⁰ And afterwards he took to himself Maachah, granddaughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith. ²¹ And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom more than all his wives and all his concubines; for he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines. And he begot twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters. ²² And he made Abijah the son of Maachah chief, even a leader among his brethren, for he intended to make him king. ²³ And he was exalted beyond all his other sons in all the coasts of Judah and Benjamin, and in the strong cities; and he gave them provisions in great abundance; and he desired many wives.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Roboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled Juda and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand young men fit for war, and he waged war with Israel to recover the kingdom to Roboam. ² And the Word of the Lord came to Samaias the man of God, saying, ³ Speak to Roboam the [son] of Solomon, and to all Juda and Benjamin, saying, ⁴ Thus says the Lord, You⌃ shall not go up, and you⌃ shall not war against your brethren: return every one to his home; for this thing is of me. And they listened to the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam. ⁵ And Roboam lived in Jerusalem, and he built walled cities in Judea. ⁶ And he built Bethleem, and Aetan and Thecoe, ⁷ and Baethsura, and Sochoth, and Odollam, ⁸ and Geth, and Marisa, and Ziph, ⁹ and Adorai, and Lachis, and Azeca, ¹⁰ and Saraa, and Aelom, and Chebron, which belong to Juda and Benjamin, walled cities. ¹¹ And he fortified them with walls, and placed in them captains, and stores of provisions, oil and wine, ¹² shields and spears in every several city, and he fortified them very strongly, and he had on his side Juda and Benjamin. ¹³ And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel were gathered to him out of all the coasts. ¹⁴ For the Levites left the tents of their possession, and went to Juda to Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had ejected them so that they should not minister to the Lord. ¹⁵ And he made for himself priests of the high places, and for the idols, and for the vanities, and for the calves which Jeroboam made. ¹⁶ And he cast out from the tribes of Israel those who set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel: and they came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers. ¹⁷ And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda; and [Juda] strengthened Roboam the [son] of Solomon for three years, for he walked three years in the ways of David and Solomon. ¹⁸ And Roboam took to himself for a wife, Moolath daughter of Jerimuth the son of David, and Abigaia daughter of Heliab the son of Jessae. ¹⁹ And she bore him sons; Jeus, and Samoria, and Zaam. ²⁰ And afterwards he took to himself Maacha the daughter of Abessalom; and she bore him Abia, and Jetthi, and Zeza, and Salemoth. ²¹ And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Abessalom more than all his wives and all his concubines: for he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines; and he begot twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters. ²² And he made Abia the son of Maacha chief, [even] a leader among his brethren, for he intended to make him king. ²³ And he was exalted beyond all his [other] sons in all the coasts of Juda and Benjamin, and in the strong cities; and he gave them provisions in great abundance: and he desired many wives.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Rehoboam came to Jerusalem and gathered the people of Judah and Benjamin. There were one hundred and eighty thousand of the best soldiers, to fight against Israel and return the kingdom to Rehoboam. ² God spoke his word to Shemaiah, the man of God. He said: ³ »Speak to Judah’s King Rehoboam, son of Solomon, and all Israel in Judah and Benjamin.« ⁴ Jehovah says: »Do not wage war against your relatives. Everyone, go home. What has happened is my doing.« So they obeyed the word of Jehovah. They turned back from their attack on Jeroboam. ⁵ Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem. He built fortified cities in Judah. ⁶ He rebuilt Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, ⁷ Beth Zur, Soco, Adullam, ⁸ Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, ⁹ Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, ¹⁰ Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron. These were fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin. ¹¹ He strengthened the cities and put army officers with reserves of food, olive oil, and wine in them. ¹² He stored shields and spears in each city. He made the cities very secure. Rehoboam held on to Judah and Benjamin. ¹³ The priests and Levites in every region of Israel aligned with Rehoboam. ¹⁴ The priests abandoned their land and property and went to Judah and Jerusalem because Jeroboam and his descendants rejected them as Jehovah’s priests. ¹⁵ As an alternative, Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the illegal worship sites and the goat and calf statues he had made as idols. ¹⁶ People from every tribe of Israel who were determined to seek Jehovah the true God of Israel followed the Levitical priests to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah God of their ancestors. ¹⁷ So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah by supporting Rehoboam, son of Solomon, for three years. During those three years they lived the way David and Solomon had lived. ¹⁸ Rehoboam married Mahalath, daughter of Jerimoth. Jerimoth was the son of David and Abihail. Abihail was the daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse. ¹⁹ Mahalath gave birth to the following sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham. ²⁰ After marrying Mahalath, he married Maacah, Absalom’s granddaughter. She gave birth to Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith. ²¹ Rehoboam loved Maacah, Absalom’s granddaughter, more than all his other wives and concubines. He had eighteen wives and sixty concubines. He fathered twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters. ²² Rehoboam appointed Abijah, son of Maacah, as family head and prince among his brothers. By doing this, Rehoboam could make him king. ²³ He wisely placed his sons in every region of Judah and Benjamin, in every fortified city. He gave them allowances and obtained many wives for them.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Rehoboam Reigns over Judah Only
When Rehoboam returned to Jerusalem, he gathered together 180,000 specially chosen soldiers from the households of Judah and Benjamin to fight against Israel and restore the kingdom to Rehoboam. ² But a message from the LORD came to Shemaiah, a man of God: ³ “Tell Solomon’s son Rehoboam, king of Judah and all of Israel in Judah and Benjamin: ⁴ ‘This is what the LORD says: “You are not to fight or even to approach your relatives in battle. Every soldier is to return to his own home, for this development comes from me.”’” So they listened to what the LORD had to say and called off their attack on Jeroboam.
⁵ Rehoboam continued to live in Jerusalem and built defensive fortification cities throughout Judah, ⁶ including Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, ⁷ Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam, ⁸ Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, ⁹ Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, ¹⁰ Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron. These were all fortified cities throughout Judah and Benjamin. ¹¹ He also strengthened the fortified cities, assigned officers to them, and stockpiled food, oil, and wine. ¹² He also stockpiled shields and spears in every city and fortified them greatly to secure his rule over Judah and Benjamin.
¹³ The Priests and Levites Support Rehoboam
The priests and descendants of Levi throughout Israel also supported him in their districts, ¹⁴ because the descendants of Levi left their pasture lands and their property to live in Judah and Jerusalem, since Jeroboam and his sons had excluded them from participating in priestly services to the LORD. ¹⁵ Jeroboam had appointed his own priests to serve at the high places and to serve the satyrs and calves that he had made. ¹⁶ As a result, anyone from all of the tribes of Israel who was determined to seek the LORD God of Israel followed the descendants of Levi to Jerusalem so they could sacrifice to the LORD God of their ancestors, ¹⁷ and they continued to strengthen the kingdom of Judah, supporting Solomon’s son Rehoboam for three years, by living the way David and Solomon did for three years.
¹⁸ Rehoboam’s Wives and ChildrenRehoboam married Mahalath, the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth, along with Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab, ¹⁹ who bore him these sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham. ²⁰ After this he married Absalom’s daughter Maacah, who bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith. ²¹ Rehoboam loved Absalom’s daughter Maacah more than he did all of his wives and mistresses. (He married eighteen wives and 60 concubines, fathering 28 sons and 60 daughters.) ²² Later, Rehoboam appointed Abijah, his son from Maacah, as senior family leader among his brothers, since he intended to establish Abijah as king. ²³ Rehoboam was wise to distribute some his children throughout all of the territories of Judah and Benjamin, placing them in all of the fortified cities. He allotted them abundant supplies of food and sought many wives for them.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When Rehoboam came to Jerusalem he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand _⌊chosen warriors_⌋,* to fight against Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam. ² But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying, ³ "Say to Rehoboam, son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, ⁴ 'Thus says Yahweh: "Do not go up, and do not fight against your brothers. Return, each man to his house, for this matter has come from me." '" So they obeyed the words of Yahweh and turned back from going against Jeroboam. ⁵ And Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and he built cities as strongholds in Judah. ⁶ He built Bethlehem, Etah, Tekoa, ⁷ Beth-Zur, Socoh, Adullam, ⁸ Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, ⁹ Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, ¹⁰ Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, fortified cities that are in Judah and in Benjamin. ¹¹ And he strengthened the fortifications and put commanders in them, along with stores of food, olive oil, and wine. ¹² And in all the cities he put shields and spears, and he greatly strengthened them. So he had Judah and Benjamin. ¹³ Now the priests and the Levites who were throughout all Israel took their stand with him* from all their territories. ¹⁴ For the Levites left their pasturelands and their property and came to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to Yahweh. ¹⁵ And he appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat idols and for the bull calves that he had made. ¹⁶ Then after them, from all the tribes of Israel, those who set their heart to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to offer to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.* ¹⁷ And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, secure for three years, for they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years. ¹⁸ Then Rehoboam took to himself as a wife Mahalath, the daughter* of Yerimot son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse. ¹⁹ And she bore to him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham. ²⁰ And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom, who bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith. ²¹ And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom more than all his wives and concubines (for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he fathered twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters). ²² And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah as chief and crown prince over his brothers, in order to make him king. ²³ And he dealt wisely and distributed some of his sons throughout all the land of Judah and Benjamin, through all the fortified cities, and gave abundant provisions to them and obtained many wives for them.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mobilized the house of Judah and Benjamin—180,000 chosen warriors—to fight against Israel and restore the kingdom to Rehoboam. ² But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God: ³ “Tell Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and all the Israelites in Judah and Benjamin ⁴ that this is what the LORD says: ‘You are not to go up and fight against your brothers. Each of you must return home, for this word is from Me.’” So they listened to the words of the LORD and turned back from going against Jeroboam. ⁵ Rehoboam continued to live in Jerusalem, and he built up cities for defense in Judah. ⁶ He built up Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, ⁷ Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam, ⁸ Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, ⁹ Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, ¹⁰ Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, the fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin. ¹¹ He strengthened their fortresses and put officers in them, with supplies of food, oil, and wine. ¹² He also put shields and spears in all the cities and strengthened them greatly. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him. ¹³ Moreover, the priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel stood with Rehoboam. ¹⁴ For the Levites left their pasturelands and their possessions and went to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the LORD. ¹⁵ And Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat demons and calf idols he had made. ¹⁶ Those from every tribe of Israel who had set their hearts to seek the LORD their God followed the Levites to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD, the God of their fathers. ¹⁷ So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon for three years, because they walked for three years in the way of David and Solomon. ¹⁸ And 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 sons to him: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham. ²⁰ After her, he married Maacah daughter of Absalom, and she bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith. ²¹ Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absalom more than all his wives and concubines. In all, he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he was the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters. ²² Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as chief prince among his brothers, intending to make him king. ²³ Rehoboam also acted wisely by dispersing some of his sons throughout the districts of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the fortified cities. He gave them abundant provisions and sought many wives for them.

Return every man to his house. For this thing is of me. So they listened to the words of Jehovah and returned from going against Jeroboam.
⁵ And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem and built cities for defense in Judah. ⁶ He built Bethlehem and Etam and Tekoa, ⁷ And Beth-zur and Soco 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, fortified cities. ¹¹ And he fortified the strongholds and put captains in them and stores of victuals and oil and wine. ¹² And in every city he put shields and spears and made them exceedingly strong. And Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
¹³ And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border. ¹⁴ 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 Jehovah. ¹⁵ And he appointed priests for him for the high places and for the male-goats and for the calves which he had made.
¹⁶ And after them, such as set their hearts to seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem out of all the tribes of Israel to sacrifice to Jehovah, the God of their fathers. ¹⁷ 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.
¹⁸ And 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. ¹⁹ And she bore sons for him: Jeush and Shemariah and Zaham. ²⁰ And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom.

Luther1545⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Und da Rehabeam gen Jerusalem kam, versammelte er das Haus Juda und Benjamin, hundertundachtzigtausend junger Mannschaft, die streitbar waren, wider Israel zu streiten, daß sie das Königreich wieder an Rehabeam brächten. ² Aber des HERRN Wort kam zu Semaja, dem Mann Gottes, und sprach: ³ Sage Rehabeam, dem Sohn Salomos, dem Könige Judas, und dem ganzen Israel, das unter Juda und Benjamin ist, und sprich: ⁴ So spricht der HERR: Ihr sollt nicht hinaufziehen, noch wider eure Brüder streiten; ein jeglicher gehe wieder heim, denn das ist von mir geschehen. Sie gehorchten den Worten des HERRN und ließen ab von dem Zug wider Jerobeam. ⁵ Rehabeam aber wohnete zu Jerusalem und baute die Städte fest in Juda, ⁶ nämlich: Bethlehem, Etam, Thekoa, ⁷ Beth-Zur, Socho, Adullam, ⁸ Gath, Maresa, Siph, ⁹ Adoraim, Lachis, Aseka, ¹⁰ Zarea, Ajalon und Hebron, welche waren die festesten Städte in Juda und Benjamin. ¹¹ Und machte sie feste und setzte Fürsten drein und Vorrat von Speise, Öl und Wein. ¹² Und in allen Städten schaffte er Schilde und Spieße und machte sie sehr feste.

4 H3541 Zo H559 H8804 zegt H3068 de HEERE H3808 : Gij zult niet H5927 H8799 optrekken H3808 , noch H3898 H8735 strijden H5973 tegen H251 uw broederen H376 ; een ieder H7725 H8798 kere weder H1004 tot zijn huis H3588 , want H2088 deze H1697 zaak H4480 is van H854 Mij H1961 H8738 geschied H8085 H8799 . En zij hoorden H1697 de woorden H3068 des HEEREN H7725 H8799 , en zij keerden weder H4480 van H413 tegen H3379 Jerobeam H3212 H8800 te trekken.

5 H7346 Rehabeam H3427 H8799 nu woonde H3389 te Jeruzalem H1129 H8799 ; en hij bouwde H5892 steden H4692 tot vastigheden H3063 in Juda.

6 H1129 H8799 Hij bouwde H1035 nu Bethlehem H5862 , en Etham H8620 , en Thekoa,

7 H1049 En Beth-zur H7755 , en Socho H5725 , en Adullam,

8 H1661 En Gath H4762 , en Maresa H2128 , en Zif,

9 H115 En Adoraim H3923 , en Lachis H5825 , en Azeka,

10 H6881 En Zora H357 , en Ajalon H2275 , en Hebron H834 ; dewelke H3063 in Juda H1144 en in Benjamin H4694 de vaste H5892 steden waren.

11 H2388 H8762 En hij sterkte H4694 deze vastigheden H5414 H8799 , en leide H5057 oversten H214 daarin, en schatten H3978 van spijs H8081 , en olie H3196 , en wijn;

12 H3605 En in elke H5902 H5892 stad H6793 rondassen H7420 en spiesen H7235 H8687 , en sterkte H2388 H8762 ze gans H3966 zeer H1961 H8799 ; zo was H3063 Juda H1144 , en Benjamin zijne.

13 H3548 Daartoe de priesteren H3881 en de Levieten H834 , die H3605 in het ganse H3478 Israel H3320 H8694 waren, stelden zich H5921 bij H4480 hem uit H3605 al H1366 hun landpalen.

14 H3588 Want H3881 de Levieten H5800 H8804 verlieten H4054 hun voorsteden H272 en hun bezitting H3212 H8799 , en kwamen H3063 in Juda H3389 en in Jeruzalem H3588 ; want H3379 Jerobeam H1121 en zijn zonen H2186 H8689 hadden hen verstoten H4480 , van H3547 H0 het priesterdom H3068 des HEEREN H3547 H8763 te mogen bedienen.

15 H3548 En hij had zich priesteren H5975 H8686 gesteld H1116 voor de hoogte H8163 , en voor de duivelen H5695 , en voor de kalveren H834 , die H6213 H8804 hij gemaakt had.

16 H310 Na H935 H8804 die kwamen H4480 ook uit H3605 alle H7626 stammen H3478 van Israel H3389 te Jeruzalem H3824 , die hun hart H5414 H8802 begaven H3068 , om den HEERE H430 , den God H3478 Israels H1245 H8763 , te zoeken H3068 , dat zij den HEERE H430 , den God H1 hunner vaderen H2076 H8800 , offerande deden.

17 H2388 H8762 Alzo sterkten zij H4438 het koninkrijk H3063 van Juda H553 H8762 , en bekrachtigden H7346 Rehabeam H1121 , den zoon H8010 van Salomo H7969 , drie H8141 jaren H3588 ; want H7969 drie H8141 jaren H1980 H8804 wandelden zij H1870 in den weg H1732 van David H8010 , en Salomo.

18 H7346 En Rehabeam H3947 H8799 nam zich H4258 , benevens Mahalath H1323 H8675 H1121 , de dochter H3406 van Jerimoth H1121 , den zoon H1732 van David H802 , ter vrouwe H32 Abihail H1323 , de dochter H446 van Eliab H1121 , den zoon H3448 van Isai,

19 H1121 Dewelke hem zonen H3205 H8799 baarde H3266 , Jeus H8114 , en Semaria H2093 , en Zaham.

20 H310 En na H3947 H8804 haar nam hij H4601 Maacha H1323 , de dochter H53 van Absalom H3205 H8799 ; deze baarde H29 hem Abia H6262 , en Attai H2124 , en Ziza H8019 , en Selomith.

21 H7346 En Rehabeam H157 H0 had H4601 Maacha H53 , Absaloms H1323 dochter H157 H8799 , liever H4480 dan H3605 al H802 zijn vrouwen H6370 en zijn bijwijven H3588 ; want H8083 H6240 hij had achttien H802 vrouwen H5375 H8804 genomen H8346 , en zestig H6370 bijwijven H3205 H8686 ; en hij gewon H8083 acht H6242 en twintig H1121 zonen H8346 en zestig H1323 dochteren.

22 H7346 En Rehabeam H5975 H8686 stelde H29 Abia H1121 , den zoon H4601 van Maacha H7218 , tot een hoofd H5057 , om een overste H251 te zijn onder zijn broederen H3588 ; want H4427 H8687 het was om hem koning te maken.

23 H995 H8799 En hij handelde verstandelijk H4480 , dat hij van H3605 al H1121 zijn zonen H3605 , door alle H776 landen H3063 van Juda H1144 en Benjamin H3605 , in alle H4694 vaste H5892 steden H6555 H8799 verspreidde H4202 , denwelken hij spijze H5414 H8799 gaf H7230 in overvloed H7592 H8799 ; en hij begeerde H1995 de veelheid H802 van vrouwen.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Roboam rentra donc à Jérusalem; puis, il réunit Juda et Benjamin, cent quatre-vingt mille jeunes gens allant à la guerre, afin de combattre Israël, et de recouvrer la royauté pour Roboam. ² Mais, la parole du Seigneur vint à Samaïas, homme de Dieu; disant: ³ Parle à Roboam, fils de Salomon, à tout Juda et à Benjamin, dis-leur: ⁴ Voici ce que dit le Seigneur: Ne partez pas, ne combattez point vos frères les fils d’Israël, retournez chacun en votre demeure, car cette chose est de moi. Ils obéirent à la parole du Seigneur, et, selon son ordre, ils renoncèrent à marcher contre Jéroboam. ⁵ Et Roboam habita Jérusalem, et il bâtit des places fortes en Judée. ⁶ Il bâtit encore Bethléem, Etan, Thécoé, ⁷ Bethsura, Sochoth, Odollam, ⁸ Geth, Marisan, Ziph, ⁹ Adoraï, Lachis, Azéca, ¹⁰ Saraa, Aïlon et Hébron, qui appartient à Juda et à Benjamin; toutes villes qu’il entoura de remparts. Et il les fortifia, et leur donna des chefs auxquels il assigna des vivres, de l’huile et du vin, ¹¹ ¹² Et il approvisionna chacune d’elles de lances et de boucliers, et il en multiplia les défenses; et il eut à lui Juda et Benjamin. ¹³ ¶ Cependant, les prêtres et les lévites qui étaient en tout Israël, se rassemblaient auprès de lui de tous les points du territoire. ¹⁴ Car, ils abandonnèrent leurs villes de résidence, et ils se rendirent en Juda et à Jérusalem, parce que Jéroboam et ses fils leur avaient ôté le service du Seigneur. ¹⁵ Et Jéroboam avait institué pour lui des prêtres des hauts lieux qui sacrifiaient aux idoles, aux choses vaines, aux veaux d’or, qu’avaient faits Jéroboam. ¹⁶ Et il avait chassé des tribus d’Israël ceux qui dévouaient leur coeur à chercher le Seigneur Dieu d’Israël; et ils vinrent à Jérusalem pour sacrifier au Seigneur Dieu de leurs pères. ¹⁷ Et ils affermirent le royaume de Juda, et Roboam, fils de Salomon, en fut fortifié pendant trois ans, parce qu’il marcha trois ans dans les voies de David et de Salomon. ¹⁸ Roboam prit pour femmes Moolath, fille de Jerimuth, fils de David; et Abigaïl, fille d’Eliab, fils de Jessé. ¹⁹ Celle-ci lui enfanta des fils: Jéhu, Samoria et Zaam. ²⁰ Après cela, il épousa Maacha, fille d’Absalon, et elle lui enfanta Abias, Jetthi, Zéza et Salémoth. ²¹ Or, Roboam aima Maacha, fille d’Absalon, plus que toutes ses femmes et ses concubines, car il avait dix-huit femmes et soixante concubines; il eut d’elles vingt-huit fils et soixante filles. ²² Et il fit Adias, fils de Maacha, chef de tous ses frères, car il avait dessein de lui laisser le trône. ²³ Et il le fortifia plus que tous ses autres fils dispersés sur tout le territoire de Juda et de Benjamin, dans les villes entourées de remparts où Roboam maintenait abondance de vivres, et où il leur fit épouser beaucoup de femmes.

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹
Et Roboam s'en alla à Jérusalem. Et il assembla la maison de Juda, et Benjamin, cent quatre-vingt mille hommes d'élite propres à la guerre, pour faire la guerre à Israël, afin de ramener le royaume à Roboam. ² Et la parole de l'Éternel vint à Shemahia, homme de Dieu, disant: ³ Parle à Roboam, fils de Salomon, roi de Juda, et à tout Israël en Juda et en Benjamin, disant: ⁴ Ainsi dit l'Éternel: Ne montez pas, et ne faites pas la guerre à vos frères; retournez chacun à sa maison, car c'est de par moi que cette chose a eu lieu. Et ils écoutèrent les paroles de l'Éternel, et s'en retournèrent et n'allèrent pas contre Jéroboam. ⁵ Et Roboam demeura à Jérusalem. Et il bâtit des villes en Juda, et en fit des forteresses. ⁶ Et il bâtit Bethléhem, et Étam, et Thekoa, ⁷ et Beth-Tsur, et Soco, et Adullam, ⁸ et Gath, et Marésha, et Ziph, ⁹ et Adoraïm, et Lakis, et Azéka, ¹⁰ et Tsorha, et Ajalon, et Hébron, qui étaient en Juda et en Benjamin, des villes fortes. ¹¹ Et il fortifia les places fortes, et y mit des chefs, et des approvisionnements de vivres, et d'huile, et de vin; ¹² et, dans chaque ville, des boucliers et des piques; et il les fortifia beaucoup. Et Juda et Benjamin étaient à lui. ¹³
Et les sacrificateurs et les Lévites qui étaient dans tout Israël, se joignirent à lui de toutes leurs contrées; ¹⁴ car les Lévites abandonnèrent leurs banlieues et leurs possessions, et vinrent en Juda et à Jérusalem, parce que Jéroboam et ses fils les avaient repoussés de la sacrificature de l'Éternel; ¹⁵ et Jéroboam s'était établi des sacrificateurs pour les hauts lieux, et pour les boucs et pour les veaux qu'il avait faits. ¹⁶ Et à leur suite, ceux de toutes les tribus d'Israël qui avaient mis leur coeur à chercher l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël, vinrent à Jérusalem pour sacrifier à l'Éternel, le Dieu de leurs pères. ¹⁷ Et ils fortifièrent le royaume de Juda, et affermirent Roboam, fils de Salomon, pendant trois ans; car ils marchèrent dans le chemin de David et de Salomon pendant trois ans. ¹⁸ Et Roboam prit pour femme Mahalath, fille de Jerimoth, fils de David, et d'Abikhaïl, fille d'Éliab, fils d'Isaï; ¹⁹ et elle lui enfanta de fils: Jehush, et Shemaria, et Zaham. ²⁰ Et après elle, il prit Maaca, fille d'Absalom; et elle lui enfanta Abija, et Atthaï, et Ziza, et Shelomith. ²¹ Et Roboam aima Maaca, fille d'Absalom, plus que toutes ses femmes et ses concubines; car il avait pris dix-huit femmes et soixante concubines, et il engendra vingt-huit fils et soixante filles. ²² Et Roboam établit chef Abija, fils de Maaca, pour être prince parmi ses frères; car il voulait le faire roi. ²³ Et il agit avec intelligence, et dispersa tous ses fils par toutes les contrées de Juda et de Benjamin, dans toutes les villes fortes, et leur donna des vivres en abondance, et demanda pour eux beaucoup de femmes.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Roboam donc s'en vint à Jérusalem, et assembla la maison de Juda, et celle de Benjamin, qui furent cent quatre-vingt mille hommes d'élite, propres à la guerre, pour combattre contre Israël, et pour réduire le Royaume en sa puissance. ² Mais la parole de l'Eternel fut adressée à Sémahia, homme de Dieu, en disant : ³ Parle à Roboam fils de Salomon, Roi de Juda, et à tous ceux d'Israël qui sont en Juda, et en Benjamin, en disant : ⁴ Ainsi a dit l'Eternel : Vous ne monterez point, et vous ne combattrez point contre vos frères; retournez-vous-en chacun en sa maison; car ceci a été fait de par moi; et ils obéirent à la parole de l'Eternel, et s'en retournèrent sans aller contre Jéroboam. ⁵ Roboam demeura donc à Jérusalem, et bâtit des villes en Juda pour forteresses. ⁶ Il bâtit Beth-léhem, Hetam, Tekoah, ⁷ Beth-sur, Soco, Hadullam, ⁸ Gath, Maresa, Ziph, ⁹ Adorajim, Lakis, Hazéka, ¹⁰ Tsorah, Ajalon, et Hébron, qui étaient des villes de forteresse en Juda et en Benjamin. ¹¹ Il fortifia donc ces forteresses, et y mit des Gouverneurs, et des provisions de vivres, d'huile, et de vin; ¹² Et en chaque ville, des boucliers, et des javelines, et il les fortifia bien. Ainsi Juda et Benjamin lui furent soumis. ¹³ Et les Sacrificateurs et les Lévites qui étaient dans tout Israël, se joignirent à lui de toutes leurs contrées. ¹⁴ Car les Lévites laissèrent leurs faubourgs et leurs possessions, et vinrent dans la Tribu de Juda, et à Jérusalem : parce que Jéroboam et ses fils les avaient rejetés, afin qu'ils ne servissent plus de Sacrificateurs à l'Eternel. ¹⁵ Car Jéroboam s'était établi des sacrificateurs pour les hauts lieux, pour les démons, et pour les veaux qu'il avait faits. ¹⁶ Et après eux ceux d'entre toutes les Tribus d'Israël qui avaient appliqué leur coeur à chercher l'Eternel le Dieu d'Israël, vinrent à Jérusalem, pour sacrifier à l'Eternel le Dieu de leurs pères. ¹⁷ Et ils fortifièrent le Royaume de Juda, et renforcèrent Roboam fils de Salomon, pendant trois ans, parce qu'on suivit le train de David et de Salomon pendant trois ans. ¹⁸ Or Roboam prit pour femme Mahalath, fille de Jérimoth, fils de David; et Abihaïl fille d'Eliab, fils d'Isaï; ¹⁹ Laquelle lui enfanta ces fils, Jéhus, Sémaria, et Zaham. ²⁰ Et après elle il prit Mahaca, fille d'Absalom, qui lui enfanta Abija, Hattaï, Ziza, et Sélomith. ²¹ Mais Roboam aima Mahaca, fille d'Absalom, plus que toutes ses autres femmes, et que ses concubines; car il avait pris dix-huit femmes et soixante concubines, dont il eut vingt-huit fils, et soixante filles. ²² Et Roboam établit pour Chef Abija, fils de Mahaca, afin qu'il fût le Chef de ses frères; car son intention était de le faire Roi. ²³ Et il s'avisa prudemment de disperser tous ses enfants par toutes les contrées de Juda et de Benjamin, savoir par toutes les villes fortes, et leur donna abondamment de quoi vivre; et il demanda pour eux beaucoup de femmes.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Roboam, arrivé à Jérusalem, rassembla la maison de Juda et de Benjamin, cent quatre-vingt mille hommes d'élite propres à la guerre, pour qu'ils combattissent contre Israël afin de le ramener sous la domination de Roboam. ² Mais la parole de l'Eternel fut ainsi adressée à Schemaeja, homme de Dieu: ³ Parle à Roboam, fils de Salomon, roi de Juda, et à tout Israël en Juda et en Benjamin. Et dis-leur: ⁴ Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Ne montez point, et ne faites pas la guerre à vos frères! Que chacun de vous retourne dans sa maison, car c'est de par moi que cette chose est arrivée. Ils obéirent aux paroles de l'Eternel, et ils s'en retournèrent, renonçant à marcher contre Jéroboam. ⁵ Roboam demeura à Jérusalem, et il bâtit des villes fortes en Juda. ⁶ Il bâtit Bethléhem, Etham, Tekoa, ⁷ Beth-Tsur, Soco, Adullam, ⁸ Gath, Maréscha, Ziph, ⁹ Adoraïm, Lakis, Azéka, ¹⁰ Tsorea, Ajalon et Hébron, qui étaient en Juda et en Benjamin, et il en fit des villes fortes. ¹¹ Il les fortifia, et y établit des commandants, et des magasins de vivres, d'huile et de vin. ¹² Il mit dans chacune de ces villes des boucliers et des lances, et il les rendit très fortes. Juda et Benjamin étaient à lui. ¹³ Les sacrificateurs et les Lévites qui se trouvaient dans tout Israël quittèrent leurs demeures pour se rendre auprès de lui; ¹⁴ car les Lévites abandonnèrent leurs banlieues et leurs propriétés et vinrent en Juda et à Jérusalem, parce que Jéroboam et ses fils les empêchèrent de remplir leurs fonctions comme sacrificateurs de l'Eternel. ¹⁵ Jéroboam établit des sacrificateurs pour les hauts lieux, pour les boucs, et pour les veaux qu'il avait faits. ¹⁶ Ceux de toutes les tribus d'Israël qui avaient à coeur de chercher l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, suivirent les Lévites à Jérusalem pour sacrifier à l'Eternel, le Dieu de leurs pères. ¹⁷ Ils donnèrent ainsi de la force au royaume de Juda, et affermirent Roboam, fils de Salomon, pendant trois ans; car ils marchèrent pendant trois ans dans la voie de David et de Salomon. ¹⁸ Roboam prit pour femme Mahalath, fille de Jerimoth, fils de David et d'Abichaïl, fille d'Eliab, fils d'Isaï. ¹⁹ Elle lui enfanta des fils: Jeusch, Schemaria et Zaham. ²⁰ Après elle, il prit Maaca, fille d'Absalom. Elle lui enfanta Abija, Attaï, Ziza et Schelomith. ²¹ Roboam aimait Maaca, fille d'Absalom, plus que toutes ses femmes et ses concubines; car il eut dix-huit femmes et soixante concubines, et il engendra vingt-huit fils et soixante filles. ²² Roboam donna le premier rang à Abija, fils de Maaca, et l'établit chef parmi ses frères, car il voulait le faire roi. ²³ Il agit avec habileté en dispersant tous ses fils dans toutes les contrées de Juda et de Benjamin, dans toutes les villes fortes; il leur fournit des vivres en abondance, et demanda pour eux une multitude de femmes.

1 H7346 ¶ Roboam H935 , arrivé H8799 H3389 à Jérusalem H6950 , rassembla H8686 H1004 la maison H3063 de Juda H1144 et de Benjamin H3967 , cent H8084 quatre-vingt H505 mille H977 hommes d’élite H8803 H6213 propres à la guerre H8802 H4421 H3898 , pour qu’ils combattissent H8736 H3478 contre Israël H7725 afin de le ramener H8687 H4467 sous la domination H7346 de Roboam.

2 H1697 Mais la parole H3068 de l’Eternel H559 fut ainsi H8800 H8098 adressée à Schemaeja H376 , homme H430 de Dieu:

3 H559 Parle H8798 H7346 à Roboam H1121 , fils H8010 de Salomon H4428 , roi H3063 de Juda H3478 , et à tout Israël H3063 en Juda H1144 et en Benjamin H559 . Et dis H8800 -leur:

4 H559 Ainsi parle H8804 H3068 l’Eternel H5927 : Ne montez H8799 H3898 point, et ne faites pas la guerre H8735 H251 à vos frères H376 ! Que chacun H7725 de vous retourne H8798 H1004 dans sa maison H1697 , car c’est de par moi que cette chose H1961 est arrivée H8738 H8085 . Ils obéirent H8799 H1697 aux paroles H3068 de l’Eternel H7725 , et ils s’en retournèrent H8799 H3212 , renonçant à marcher H8800 H3379 contre Jéroboam.

5 H7346 Roboam H3427 demeura H8799 H3389 à Jérusalem H1129 , et il bâtit H8799 H5892 des villes H4692 fortes H3063 en Juda.

6 H1129 Il bâtit H8799 H1035 Bethléhem H5862 , Etham H8620 , Tekoa,

7 H1049 Beth-Tsur H7755 , Soco H5725 , Adullam,

8 H1661 Gath H4762 , Maréscha H2128 , Ziph,

9 H115 Adoraïm H3923 , Lakis H5825 , Azéka,

10 H6881 Tsorea H357 , Ajalon H2275 et Hébron H3063 , qui étaient en Juda H1144 et en Benjamin H5892 , et il en fit des villes H4694 fortes.

11 H4694 Il les H2388 fortifia H8762 H5414 , et y établit H8799 H5057 des commandants H214 , et des magasins H3978 de vivres H8081 , d’huile H3196 et de vin.

12 H5892 Il mit dans chacune de ces villes H6793 des boucliers H7420 et des lances H7235 , et il les rendit très H8687 H3966 H2388 fortes H8762 H3063 . Juda H1144 et Benjamin étaient à lui.

13 H3548 ¶ Les sacrificateurs H3881 et les Lévites H3478 qui se trouvaient dans tout Israël H3320 quittèrent H8694 H1366 leurs demeures pour se rendre auprès de lui ;

14 H3881 car les Lévites H5800 abandonnèrent H8804 H4054 leurs banlieues H272 et leurs propriétés H3212 et vinrent H8799 H3063 en Juda H3389 et à Jérusalem H3379 , parce que Jéroboam H1121 et ses fils H2186 les empêchèrent H8689 H3547 de remplir leurs fonctions comme sacrificateurs H8763 H3068 de l’Eternel.

15 H5975 Jéroboam établit H8686 H3548 des sacrificateurs H1116 pour les hauts lieux H8163 , pour les boucs H5695 , et pour les veaux H6213 qu’il avait faits H8804 .

16 H310 H7626 Ceux de toutes les tribus H3478 d’Israël H5414 qui avaient H8802 H3824 à cœur H1245 de chercher H8763 H3068 l’Eternel H430 , le Dieu H3478 d’Israël H935 , suivirent H8804 H3389 les Lévites à Jérusalem H2076 pour sacrifier H8800 H3068 à l’Eternel H430 , le Dieu H1 de leurs pères.

17 H2388 Ils donnèrent ainsi de la force H8762 H4438 au royaume H3063 de Juda H553 , et affermirent H8762 H7346 Roboam H1121 , fils H8010 de Salomon H7969 , pendant trois H8141 ans H1980 ; car ils marchèrent H8804 H7969 pendant trois H8141 ans H1870 dans la voie H1732 de David H8010 et de Salomon.

18 H7346 Roboam H3947 prit H8799 H802 pour femme H4258 Mahalath H1323 , fille H8675 H1121 H3406 de Jerimoth H1121 , fils H1732 de David H32 et d’Abichaïl H1323 , fille H446 d’Eliab H1121 , fils H3448 d’Isaï.

19 H3205 Elle lui enfanta H8799 H1121 des fils H3266 : Jeusch H8114 , Schemaria H2093 et Zaham.

20 H310 Après H3947 elle, il prit H8804 H4601 Maaca H1323 , fille H53 d’Absalom H3205 . Elle lui enfanta H8799 H29 Abija H6262 , Attaï H2124 , Ziza H8019 et Schelomith.

21 H7346 Roboam H157 aimait H8799 H4601 Maaca H1323 , fille H53 d’Absalom H802 , plus que toutes ses femmes H6370 et ses concubines H5375 ; car il eut H8804 H8083 dix-huit H6240 H802 femmes H8346 et soixante H6370 concubines H3205 , et il engendra H8686 H6242 vingt H8083 -huit H1121 fils H8346 et soixante H1323 filles.

22 H7346 Roboam H5975 donna H8686 H7218 le premier H29 rang à Abija H1121 , fils H4601 de Maaca H5057 , et l’établit chef H251 parmi ses frères H4427 , car il voulait le faire roi H8687 .

23 H995 Il agit avec habileté H8799 H6555 en dispersant H8799 H1121 tous ses fils H776 dans toutes les contrées H3063 de Juda H1144 et de Benjamin H5892 , dans toutes les villes H4694 fortes H5414 ; il leur fournit H8799 H4202 des vivres H7230 en abondance H7592 , et demanda H8799 H1995 pour eux une multitude H802 de femmes.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y cuando vino Roboam a Jerusalén, juntó la casa de Judá y de Benjamín, ciento ochenta mil hombres escogidos de guerra, para pelear contra Israel y volver el reino a Roboam. ² Mas vino palabra del SEÑOR a Semeías varón de Dios, diciendo: ³ Habla a Roboam hijo de Salomón, rey de Judá, y a todos los Israelitas que están en Judá y Benjamín, diciéndoles: ⁴ Así ha dicho el SEÑOR: No subáis ni peleéis contra vuestros hermanos; vuélvase casa uno a su casa, porque yo he hecho este negocio. Y ellos oyeron la palabra del SEÑOR, y se volvieron, y no fueron contra Jeroboam. ⁵ Y habitó Roboam en Jerusalén, y edificó ciudades para fortificar a Judá. ⁶ Y edificó a Belén, y a Etam, y a Tecoa, ⁷ y a Bet-sur, y a Soco, y a Adulam, ⁸ y a Gat, y a Maresa, y a Zif, ⁹ y a Adoraim, y a Laquis, y a Azeca, ¹⁰ y a Zora, y a Ajalón, y a Hebrón, que eran en Judá y en Benjamín, ciudades fuertes. ¹¹ Fortificó también las fortalezas, y puso en ellas capitanes, y provisiones, y vino, y aceite; ¹² y en todas las ciudades, escudos y lanzas. Las fortificó, pues, en gran manera, y Judá y Benjamín estuvieron de parte de él. ¹³ Y los sacerdotes y levitas que estaban en todo Israel, se juntaron a él de todos sus términos. ¹⁴ Porque los levitas dejaban sus ejidos y sus posesiones, y se venían a Judá y a Jerusalén; pues Jeroboam y sus hijos los echaban del ministerio del SEÑOR. ¹⁵ Y él se hizo sacerdotes para los altos, y para los demonios, y para los becerros que él había hecho. ¹⁶ Tras aquéllos acudieron también de todas las tribus de Israel los que habían puesto su corazón en buscar al SEÑOR Dios de Israel; y vinieron a Jerusalén para sacrificar al SEÑOR, el Dios de sus padres. ¹⁷ Así fortificaron el reino de Judá, y confirmaron a Roboam hijo de Salomón por tres años, porque tres años anduvieron en el camino de David, y de Salomón. ¹⁸ Y tomó Roboam por mujer a Mahalat, hija de Jerimot hijo de David, y a Abihail, hija de Eliab hijo de Isaí. ¹⁹ La cual le dio a luz hijos: a Jeús, y a Samarías, y a Zaham. ²⁰ Después de ella tomó a Maaca hija de Absalón, la cual le dio a luz a Abías, a Atai, Ziza, y Selomit. ²¹ Mas Roboam amó a Maaca hija de Absalón sobre todas sus mujeres y concubinas; porque tomó dieciocho mujeres y sesenta concubinas, y engendró veintiocho hijos y sesenta hijas. ²² Y puso Roboam a Abías hijo de Maaca por cabeza y príncipe de sus hermanos, porque quería hacerle rey. ²³ Y le hizo instruir, y esparció todos sus hijos por todas las tierras de Judá y de Benjamín, y por todas las ciudades fuertes, y les dio provisiones en abundancia, y fue dado a muchas mujeres.

ReinaValera⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y COMO vino Roboam á Jerusalem, juntó la casa de Judá y de Benjamín, ciento y ochenta mil hombres escogidos de guerra, para pelear contra Israel y volver el reino á Roboam. ² Mas fué palabra de Jehová á Semeías varón de Dios, diciendo: ³ Habla á Roboam hijo de Salomón, rey de Judá, y á todos los Israelitas en Judá y Benjamín, diciéndoles: ⁴ Así ha dicho Jehová: No subáis ni peleéis contra vuestros hermanos; vuélvase casa uno á su casa, porque yo he hecho este negocio. Y ellos oyeron la palabra de Jehová, y tornáronse, y no fueron contra Jeroboam. ⁵ Y habitó Roboam en Jerusalem, y edificó ciudades para fortificar á Judá. ⁶ Y edificó á Beth-lehem, y á Etham, y á Tecoa, ⁷ Y á Beth-sur, y á Sochô, y á Adullam, ⁸ Y á Gath, y á Maresa, y á Ziph, ⁹ Y á Adoraim, y á Lachîs, y á Acechâ, ¹⁰ Y á Sora, y á Ajalón, y á Hebrón, que eran en Judá y en Benjamín, ciudades fuertes. ¹¹ Fortificó también las fortalezas, y puso en ellas capitanes, y vituallas, y vino, y aceite; ¹² Y en todas las ciudades, escudos y lanzas.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Roboami, me të arritur në Jeruzalem, thirri shtëpinë e Judës dhe të Beniaminit, njëqind e tetëdhjetë mijë luftëtarë të zgjedhur, për të luftuar kundër Izraelit dhe për t'i kthyer kështu mbretërinë Roboamit. ² Por fjala e Zotit iu drejtua kështu Shemajahut, njeriu i Perëndisë, duke thënë: ³ "Foli Roboamit, birit të Salomonit, mbretit të Judës, dhe tërë Izraelit në Judë dhe në Beniamin, dhe u thuaj atyre: ⁴ Kështu flet Zoti: "Mos dilni të luftoni kundër vëllezërve tuaj. Secili të kthehet në shtëpinë e vet, sepse kjo gjë vjen nga unë"". Atëherë ata iu bindën fjalës të Zotit dhe u kthyen prapa pa dalë kundër Jeroboamit. ⁵ Roboami banoi në Jeruzalem dhe ndërtoi disa qytete për mbrojtje në Judë. ⁶ Ai ndërtoi Betlemin, Etamin, Tekoan, ⁷ Beth-Tsurin, Sokon, Adulamin, ⁸ Gathin, Mareshahun, Zifin, ⁹ Adoraimin, Lakishin, Azkahun, ¹⁰ Tsorahun, Ajalonin dhe Hebronin, që u bënë qytete të fortifikuara në Judë dhe në Beniamin. ¹¹ Përforcoi fortesat dhe vendosi komandantë dhe depo ushqimesh, vaji dhe vere. ¹² Në çdo qytet vendosi mburoja dhe shtiza dhe i bëri jashtëzakonisht të forta. Kështu ai pati me vete Judën dhe Beniaminin. ¹³ Përveç kësaj nga të gjitha territoret e tyre priftërinjtë dhe Levitët e tërë Izraelit morën anën e tij. ¹⁴ Në të vërtetë Levitët braktisën tokat e tyre për kullotë dhe pronat e tyre dhe shkuan në Judë dhe në Jeruzalem, sepse Jeroboami me bijtë e tij i kishte përzënë nga shërbimi si priftërinj të Zotit, ¹⁵ dhe kishte caktuar priftërinj për vendet e larta, për demonët dhe për viçat që kishte bërë. ¹⁶ Mbas Levitëve ata nga gjithë fiset e Izraelit që kishin vendosur në zemër të tyre të kërkonin Zotin, Perëndinë e Izraelit, vajtën në Jeruzalem për t'i ofruar flijime Zotit, Perëndisë të etërve të tyre. ¹⁷ Kështu e përforcuan mbretërinë e Judës dhe e bënë të qëndrushëm për tre vjet Roboamin, birin e Salomonit, sepse për tre vjet ndoqën rrugën e Davidit dhe të Salomonit. ¹⁸ Roboami mori për grua Mahalathën, bijën e Jerimothit, birit të Davidit dhe i Abihajlit, bijës së Eliabit që ishte bir i Isait. ¹⁹ Ajo i lindi fëmijët Jeush, Shemariah dhe Zaaham. ²⁰ Mbas asaj mori për grua Maakahën, bijën e Absalomit, e cila i lindi Abijahun, Atain, Zizan dhe Shelomithin. ²¹ Roboami e donte Maakahën, bijën e Absalomit, më tepër se të gjitha bashkëshortet e konkubinat e tij (ai mori tetëmbëdhjetë bashkëshorte dhe shtatëdhjetë konkubina dhe i lindën njëzet e tetë djem dhe gjashtëdhjetë vajza). ²² Roboami e caktoi Abijahun, birin e Maakahës, si të parë që të ishte princ midis vëllezërve të tij, sepse mendonte ta bënte mbret. ²³ Ai veproi me zgjuarsi dhe i shpërndau disa nga bijtë e tij në të gjitha vendet e Judës dhe të Beniaminit, në të gjitha qytetet e fortifikuara; u dha atyre ushqime me shumicë dhe kërkoi për ta shumë bashkëshorte.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ И прибыл Ровоам в Иерусалим и созвал из дома Иудина и Вениаминова сто восемьдесят тысяч отборных воинов, чтобы воевать с Израилем и возвратить царство Ровоаму. ² И было слово Господне к Самею, человеку Божию, и сказано: ³ скажи Ровоаму, сыну Соломонову, царю Иудейскому, и всему Израилюв колене Иудином и Вениаминовом: ⁴ так говорит Господь: не ходите и не начинайте войны с братьями вашими; возвратитесь каждый в дом свой, ибо Мною сделано это. Они послушались слов Господних и возвратились из похода против Иеровоама. ⁵ Ровоам жил в Иерусалиме; он обнес города в Иудее стенами. ⁶ Он укрепил Вифлеем и Ефам, и Фекою, ⁷ и Вефцур, и Сохо, и Одоллам, ⁸ и Геф, и Марешу, и Зиф, ⁹ и Адораим, и Лахис, и Азеку, ¹⁰ и Цору, и Аиалон, и Хеврон, находившиеся в колене Иудином и Вениаминовом. ¹¹ И утвердил он крепости сии, и устроил в них начальников и хранилища для хлеба и деревянного масла и вина. ¹² И дал в каждый город щиты и копья и утвердил их весьма сильно. И оставались за ним Иуда и Вениамин. ¹³ И священники и левиты, какие были по всей земле Израильской, собрались к нему из всех пределов, ¹⁴ ибо оставили левиты свои городские предместья и свои владения и пришли в Иудею и в Иерусалим, так как оставил их Иеровоам и сыновья его от священства Господня ¹⁵ и поставил у себя жрецов к высотам, и к козлам, и к тельцам, которых он сделал. ¹⁶ А за ними и из всех колен Израилевых расположившие сердце свое, чтобы взыскать Господа Бога Израилева, приходили в Иерусалим, дабы приносить жертвы Господу Богу отцов своих. ¹⁷ И укрепили они царство Иудино и поддерживали Ровоама, сына Соломонова, три года, потому что ходили путем Давида и Соломона в сии три года. ¹⁸ И взял себе Ровоам в жену Махалафу, дочь Иеромофа, сына Давидова, и Авихаиль, дочь Елиава, сына Иессеева, ¹⁹ и она родила ему сыновей: Иеуса и Шемарию и Загама. ²⁰ После нее он взял Мааху, дочь Авессалома, и она родила ему Авию и Аттая, и Зизу и Шеломифа. ²¹ И любил Ровоам Мааху, дочь Авессалома, более всех жен и наложницсвоих, ибо он имел восемнадцать жен и шестьдесят наложниц и родилдвадцать восемь сыновей и шестьдесят дочерей. ²² И поставил Ровоам Авию, сына Маахи, главою и князем надбратьями его, потому что хотел воцарить его. ²³ И действовал благоразумно, и разослал всех сыновейсвоих по всем землям Иуды и Вениамина во все укрепленные города, и дал им содержаниебольшое и приискал много жен.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ И Ровоам дойде в Ерусалим и събра юдовия дом и Вениамин, сто и осемдесет хиляди избрани воини, за да се бият срещу Израил, за да възвърне царството на Ровоам. ² Тогава ГОСПОДНОТО слово беше към Божия човек Семая и каза: ³ Говори на юдовия цар Ровоам, сина на Соломон, и на целия Израил в Юда и Вениамин и кажи: ⁴ Така казва ГОСПОД: Да не излизате и да не се биете срещу братята си! Върнете се всеки у дома си, защото от Мен стана това нещо. И те послушаха думите на ГОСПОДА и се върнаха, и не отидоха против Еровоам. ⁵ А Ровоам се засели в Ерусалим и построи градове за укрепления в Юда: ⁶ построи Витлеем и Итам, и Текое, ⁷ и Ветсур, и Сохо, и Одолам, ⁸ и Гет, и Мариса, и Зиф, ⁹ и Адораим, и Лахис, и Азика, ¹⁰ и Сараа, и Еалон, и Хеврон — укрепени градове, които са в Юда и Вениамин. ¹¹ Той усили крепостите и сложи в тях началници и запаси от храна и маслинено масло, и вино; ¹² и във всеки град сложи щитове и копия, и ги направи много силни. И Юда и Вениамин бяха негови. ¹³ И свещениците и левитите, които бяха в целия Израил, се събраха при него от всичките си области. ¹⁴ Защото левитите оставиха землищата си и притежанията си и дойдоха в Юда и в Ерусалим, понеже Еровоам и синовете му ги бяха отхвърлили, да не свещенодействат на ГОСПОДА, ¹⁵ и Еровоам си беше поставил свещеници за високите места, за демоните и за телетата, които беше направил. ¹⁶ И от всичките израилеви племена ги последваха всички, които насочиха сърцата си да търсят ГОСПОДА, Израилевия Бог, и дойдоха в Ерусалим, за да жертват на ГОСПОДА, Бога на бащите си. ¹⁷ Те укрепиха Юдовото царство и подсилиха Ровоам, сина на Соломон, три години, защото три години ходиха в пътя на Давид и Соломон. ¹⁸ И Ровоам си взе за жена Маелета, дъщерята на Еримот, сина на Давид, и на Авихаила, дъщеря на Елиав, сина на Есей. ¹⁹ И тя му роди синове: Еус и Самария, и Заам. ²⁰ А след нея взе Мааха, дъщерята на Авесалом. И тя му роди Авия и Атай, и Зиза, и Селомит. ²¹ И Ровоам обичаше Мааха, дъщерята на Авесалом, повече от всичките си жени и наложници; защото беше взел осемнадесет жени и шестдесет наложници и роди двадесет и осем сина и шестдесет дъщери. ²² И Ровоам постави Авия, сина на Мааха, за глава, за първенец сред братята си, защото мислеше да го направи цар. ²³ И постъпваше разумно и разпръсна всичките си синове по всичките земи на Юда и Вениамин, по всички укрепени градове, и им даваше храна в изобилие, и потърси за тях много жени.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Došavši u Jeruzalem, skupi sav dom Judin i Benjaminov, sto i osamdeset tisuća vrsnih ratnika, da udare na Izraela i da Roboamu vrate kraljevstvo. ² Ali dođe Jahvina riječ Božjem čovjeku Šemaji: ³ "Kaži Salomonovu sinu Roboamu, judejskomu kralju, i svim Izraelcima u Judinu i Benjaminovu plemenu: ⁴ Ovako veli Jahve: 'Ne idite se tući s braćom! Neka se svatko vrati svojoj kući, jer je ovo poteklo od mene.'" I oni poslušaše riječ Jahvinu, vratiše se i ne udariše na Jeroboama. ⁵ Roboam, stolujući u Jeruzalemu, poče dizati tvrde gradove po Judeji. ⁶ Tako je sagradio Betlehem, Etam, Tekou, ⁷ Bet Sur, Sokon, Adulam, ⁸ Gat, Maresu, Zif, ⁹ Adorajim, Lakiš, Azeku, ¹⁰ Soru, Ajalon i Hebron, tvrde gradove u Judinu i Benjaminovu plemenu. ¹¹ Utvrdivši gradove, postavi im zapovjednike i dovuče zalihe hrane, ulja i vina; ¹² u svaki pojedini grad stavi štitova i kopalja i utvrdi ih vrlo jako. Tako je on imao Judino i Benjaminovo pleme. ¹³ Svećenici i leviti, koji su bili po svem Izraelu, pristupiše k njemu iz svih krajeva. ¹⁴ Leviti ostaviše pašnjake i posjed te otiđoše u Judeju i Jeruzalem, jer ih je bio odbacio Jeroboam i njegovi sinovi da ne obavljaju svećeničku službu Jahvi, ¹⁵ a postavio je svećenike za uzvišice, za jarce i za telad koju je napravio. ¹⁶ Za njima su iz svih izraelskih plemena dolazili u Jeruzalem da žrtvuju Jahvi, Bogu svojih otaca, oni koji su srcem tražili Jahvu, Boga Izraelova. ¹⁷ Tako su utvrdili judejsko kraljevstvo i osokolili Salomonova sina Roboama za tri godine, jer su tri godine živjeli poput Davida i Salomona. ¹⁸ Roboam je sebi uzeo za žemu Mahalatu, kćer Davidova sina Jerimota, i Abihajilu, kćer Jišajeva sina Eliaba, ¹⁹ koja mu rodi sinove: Jeuša, Šemarju i Zahama. ²⁰ A poslije nje oženio se Abšalomovom kćerju Maakom, koja mu rodi Abiju, Etaja, Zizu i Šelomita. ²¹ Roboam je ljubio Abšalomovu kćer Maaku više od svih svojih žena i inoča, iako je uzeo osamnaest žena i šezdeset inoča i rodio dvadeset i osam sinova i šezdeset kćeri. ²² I Roboam postavi Maakina sina Abiju za poglavara i kneza nad njegovom braćom, jer ga je naumio postaviti za kralja. ²³ I, mudro radeći, razmjesti sinove po svim judejskim i Benjaminovim krajevima, po svim tvrdim gradovima, davši im hrane izobila i poženivši ih sa mnogo žena.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Když pak přijel Roboám do Jeruzaléma, shromáždil dům Judův a Beniaminův, sto a osmdesáte tisíc výborných bojovníků, aby bojovali proti Izraelovi, a aby zase obráceno bylo království k Roboámovi. ² Tedy stala se řeč Hospodinova k Semaiášovi, muži Božímu, řkoucí: ³ Pověz Roboámovi synu Šalomounovu, králi Judskému, a všemu lidu Izraelskému, kterýž jest v pokolení Judově a Beniaminově, řka: ⁴ Takto praví Hospodin: Netáhněte a nebojujte proti bratřím svým, navraťte se jeden každý do domu svého; nebo ode mne stala se věc tato. I uposlechli rozkazu Hospodinova, a navrátili se, aby netáhli proti Jeroboámovi. ⁵ I bydlil Roboám v Jeruzalémě, a vzdělal města hrazená v Judstvu. ⁶ A vzdělal Betlém, Etam. a Tekoe, ⁷ Betsur, Socho a Adulam, ⁸ Gát, Maresa a Zif, ⁹ Adoraim, Lachis a Azeka, ¹⁰ Zaraha, Aialon a Hebron, kteráž byla v pokolení Judově a Beniaminově města hrazená. ¹¹ A když upevnil města hrazená, osadil v nich knížata, a zdělal špižírny k potravám, k oleji a vínu. ¹² A v jednom každém městě složil štíty a kopí, a opatřil ta města velmi dobře, a tak kraloval nad Judou a Beniaminem. ¹³ Kněží také a Levítové, kteříž byli ve všem Izraeli, postavili se k němu ze všech končin svých. ¹⁴ Opustili byli zajisté Levítové předměstí svá i vládařství svá, a odebrali se do Judstva a do Jeruzaléma, (proto, že je zavrhl Jeroboám a synové jeho, aby v úřadu kněžském nesloužili Hospodinu. ¹⁵ A nařídil sobě kněží k sloužení po výsostech ďáblům a telatům, kterýchž byl nadělal). ¹⁶ A za nimi ze všech pokolení Izraelských ti, kteříž oddali srdce své k hledání Hospodina Boha Izraelského, přišli do Jeruzaléma, aby obětovali Hospodinu Bohu otců svých. ¹⁷ A tak utvrdili království Judské, a zsilili Roboáma syna Šalomounova za tři léta, a po ta tři léta chodili po cestě Davidově a Šalomounově. ¹⁸ Potom pojal sobě Roboám ženu, Mahalat, dceru Jerimota syna Davidova, a Abichail, dceru Eliaba syna Izai. ¹⁹ Kteráž mu zplodila syny: Jeusa a Semariáše a Zahama. ²⁰ A po té pojal Maachu dceru Absolonovu, kteráž mu porodila Abiáše, Attaie, Zizu a Selomita. ²¹ Ale miloval Roboám Maachu dceru Absolonovu, nade všecky ženy i ženiny své; nebo byl pojal žen osmnáct, a ženin šedesát, a zplodil dvadceti a osm synů a šedesáte dcer. ²² Ustanovil pak Roboám Abiáše syna Maachy za kníže a vývodu mezi bratřími jeho; nebo myslil ho ustanoviti králem. ²³ A opatrnosti užívaje, rozsadil všecky jiné syny své po všech krajích Judových a Beniaminových, ve všech městech ohrazených, i dal jim potravy hojně, a nabral jim mnoho žen.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Der Roboam kom til Jerusalem, da samlede han Judas Hus og Benjamin, hundrede og firsindstyve Tusinde udvalgte Krigsmænd, at stride imod Israel for at føre Riget tilbage til Roboam. ² Men HERRENS Ord skete til Semaja, den Guds Mand, og sagde: ³ Tal til Roboam, Salomos Søn, Judas Konge, og til al Israel, som er i Juda og Benjamin, og sig: ⁴ Saa sagde HERREN: I skulle ikke drage op og ej stride imod eders Brødre; vender tilbage, hver til sit Hus, thi denne Handel er sket af mig; og de adløde HERRENS Ord og vendte tilbage og droge ikke imod Jeroboam. ⁵ Og Roboam boede i Jerusalem og byggede Stæder til Befæstning i Juda. ⁶ Og han byggede Bethlehem og Etam og Thekoa ⁷ og Bethzur og Soko og Adullam ⁸ og Gath og Maresa og Sif ⁹ og Adoraim og Lakis og Aseka ¹⁰ og Zora og Ajalon og Hebron, som vare i Juda og i Benjamin, saa de bleve faste Stæder. ¹¹ Og han gjorde de faste Stæder stærke og lagde Befalingsmænd i dem og Forraad af Spise og Olie og Vin ¹² og Skjolde og Spyd i alle Stæderne, hvilke han befæstede saare meget; og Juda og Benjamin vare hans. ¹³ Og præsterne og Leviterne, som vare udi al Israel, de gik over til ham fra alt deres Landemærke. ¹⁴ Thi Leviterne forlode deres Marker og deres Ejendom og droge til Juda og til Jerusalem; thi Jeroboam og hans Sønner forkastede dem og lode dem ikke gøre Præstetjeneste for HERREN. ¹⁵ (Men han beskikkede sig Præster til Højene og til Skovtroldene og til de Kalve, som han opstillede.) ¹⁶ Og efter hine fulgte af alle Israels Stammer de, som gave deres Hjerte til at søge HERREN Israels Gud; de kom til Jerusalem for at ofre til HERREN, deres Fædres Gud. ¹⁷ Og de styrkede Judas Rige og gjorde Roboam, Salomos Søn, mægtig i tre Aar; thi de vandrede i Davids og i Salomos Vej i tre Aar. ¹⁸ Og Roboam tog sig en Hustru foruden Mahalath, Jerimoths, Davids Søns, Datter, nemlig Abihail, en Datter af Eliab, Isajs Søn. ¹⁹ Og hun fødte ham Sønner: Je'us og Semarja og Saham. ²⁰ Og efter hende tog han Maaka, Absaloms Datter; og hun fødte ham Abia og Athaj og Sisa og Selomith. ²¹ Men Roboam elskede Maaka, Absaloms Datter, mere end alle sine Hustruer og Medhustruer; thi han tog atten Hustruer og tresindstyve Medhustruer; og avlede otte og tyve Sønner og tresindstyve Døtre. ²² Og Roboam satte Abia, Maakas Søn, til den ypperste, til en Fyrste iblandt hans Brødre; thi han tænkte at gøre ham til Konge. ²³ Og han handlede forstandig og fordelte alle sine Sønner i alle Judas og Benjamins Lande, i alle faste Stæder, og gav dem rigeligt Underhold; og han begærede mange Hustruer for dem.

He olivat kuuliaiset Herran sanalle ja palasivat menemästä Jerobeamia vastaan. ⁵ Mutta Rehabeam asui Jerusalemissa, ja rakensi Juudan kaupungit vahvaksi, ⁶ Ja rakensi Betlehemin, Etamin ja Tekoan, ⁷ Betsurin, Sokon, ja Adullamin, ⁸ Gatin, Maresan ja Siphin, ⁹ Adoraimin, Lakiksen ja Asekan, ¹⁰ Zorgan, Ajalonin ja Hebronin, jotka olivat kaikkein vahvimmat kaupungit Juudassa ja BenJaminissa. ¹¹ Ja hän teki ne vahvaksi ja pani niihin hallitsiat, ja elatuksen varaa, öljyä ja viinaa. ¹² Ja hän toimitti kaikkiin kaupunkeihin kilvet ja keihäät, ja teki ne sangen vahvaksi. Ja Juuda ja BenJamin olivat hänen allansa. ¹³ Ja papit ja Leviläiset kaikesta Israelista tulivat hänen tykönsä kaikista maansa rajoista. ¹⁴ Sillä Leviläiset hylkäsivät esikaupunkinsa ja saamansa ja tulivat Juudaan ja Jerusalemiin; sillä Jerobeam ja hänen poikansa ajoivat heidät pois, ettei he olisi saaneet tehdä Herralle papin palvelusta. ¹⁵ Mutta hän asetti papit itsellensä kukkuloille ja perkeleille, ja vasikoille, jotka hän tehdä antoi. ¹⁶ Ja monta kaikista Israelin sukukunnista, jotka sydämestänsä etsivät Herraa Israelin Jumalaa, tulivat heidän perässänsä Jerusalemiin, uhraamaan Herralle isäinsä Jumalalle, ¹⁷ Ja vahvistivat Juudan valtakunnan, ja vahvistivat Rehabeamin Salomon pojan kolmena ajastaikana; sillä he vaelsivat Davidin ja Salomon tietä kolme ajastaikaa. ¹⁸ Ja Rehabeam otti Mahelatin, Jerimotin Davidin pojan tyttären, emännäksensä, niin myös Abihailin, Eliabin tyttären, Isain pojan, ¹⁹ Joka hänelle synnytti nämät pojat: Jeuksen, Semarian ja Sahamin. ²⁰ Sitte otti hän Maekan, Absalomin tyttären, joka hänelle synnytti Abian, Attain, Sisan ja Selomitin. ²¹ Mutta Rehabeam piti Maekan, Absalomin tyttären, rakkaampana kaikkia muita emäntiänsä ja jalkavaimojansa; sillä hänellä oli kahdeksantoistakymmentä emäntää ja kuusikymmentä jalkavaimoa, ja hän siitti kahdeksankolmattakymmentä poikaa ja kuusikymmentä tytärtä. ²² Ja Rehabeam asetti Abian, Maekan pojan, veljeinsä pääksi ja hallitsiaksi; sillä hän mieli tehdä hänen kuninkaaksi. ²³ Ja hän teki toimellisesti ja jakoi poikansa Juudan ja BenJaminin maahan kaikkiin vahvoihin kaupunkeihin, ja antoi heille yltäkyllä viljaa, ja havitteli monta emäntää.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kun Rehabeam tuli Jerusalemiin, kokosi hän Juudan heimon ja Benjaminin, sata kahdeksankymmentä tuhatta sotakuntoista valiomiestä, sotimaan Israelia vastaan ja palauttamaan kuninkuutta Rehabeamille. ² Mutta Jumalan miehelle Semajalle tuli tämä Herran sana: ³ "Sano Rehabeamille, Salomon pojalle, Juudan kuninkaalle, ja koko Israelille Juudassa ja Benjaminissa näin: ⁴ 'Näin sanoo Herra: Älkää menkö sotimaan veljiänne vastaan. Palatkaa kukin kotiinne, sillä minä olen sallinut tämän tapahtua.'" Niin he kuulivat Herran sanoja, kääntyivät takaisin eivätkä menneet Jerobeamia vastaan. ⁵ Mutta Rehabeam asui Jerusalemissa ja linnoitti lujasti Juudan kaupunkeja. ⁶ Hän linnoitti Beetlehemin, Eetanin, Tekoan, ⁷ Beet-Suurin, Sookon, Adullamin, ⁸ Gatin, Maaresan, Siifin, ⁹ Adoraimin, Laakiin, Asekan, ¹⁰ Soran, Aijalonin ja Hebronin, jotka ovat Juudassa ja Benjaminissa; ne hän linnoitti lujiksi kaupungeiksi. ¹¹ Hän varusti linnoitukset ja sijoitti niihin päämiehiä sekä muonavarastoja, öljyä ja viiniä ¹² ja jokaiseen kaupunkiin kilpiä ja keihäitä; hän varusti ne hyvin lujasti. Ja Juuda ja Benjamin olivat hänen. ¹³ Ja papit ja leeviläiset, mitä koko Israelissa oli, tulivat kaikilta alueiltaan ja asettuivat palvelemaan häntä. ¹⁴ Sillä leeviläiset jättivät laidunmaansa ja perintömaansa ja lähtivät Juudaan ja Jerusalemiin, koska Jerobeam ja hänen poikansa olivat hyljänneet heidät, niin etteivät he saaneet pappeina palvella Herraa, ¹⁵ Jerobeam kun oli asettanut itselleen pappeja uhrikukkuloita varten ja metsänpeikkoja varten ja vasikoita varten, jotka hän oli teettänyt. ¹⁶ Ja heitä seurasivat kaikista Israelin sukukunnista Jerusalemiin ne, jotka sydämestään antautuivat etsimään Herraa, Israelin Jumalaa, uhratakseen Herralle, isiensä Jumalalle. ¹⁷ Näin he vahvistivat Juudan valtakuntaa ja tukivat Rehabeamia, Salomon poikaa, kolme vuotta; sillä he vaelsivat Daavidin ja Salomon teitä kolme vuotta. ¹⁸ Ja Rehabeam otti vaimokseen Mahlatin, joka oli Daavidin pojan Jerimotin ja Iisain pojan Eliabin tyttären Abihailin tytär. ¹⁹ Tämä synnytti hänelle pojat Jeuksen, Semarjan ja Saahamin. ²⁰ Hänen jälkeensä hän nai Maakan, Absalomin tyttären, joka synnytti hänelle Abian, Attain, Siisan ja Selomitin. ²¹ Ja Rehabeam rakasti Maakaa, Absalomin tytärtä, enemmän kuin kaikkia muita vaimojaan ja sivuvaimojaan. Sillä hän oli ottanut kahdeksantoista vaimoa ja kuusikymmentä sivuvaimoa; ja hänelle syntyi kaksikymmentä kahdeksan poikaa ja kuusikymmentä tytärtä. ²² Ja Rehabeam asetti Abian, Maakan pojan, päämieheksi, ruhtinaaksi hänen veljiensä joukossa, sillä hän aikoi tehdä hänet kuninkaaksi. ²³ Ja viisaasti hän jakoi kaikki Juudan ja Benjaminin maakunnat ja kaikki varustetut kaupungit kaikkien poikiensa kesken ja antoi heille runsaasti elintarpeita ja hankki heille paljon vaimoja.

És engedének az Úr szavának, és megtérének a helyett, hogy Jeroboám ellen mennének. ⁵ Lakozék azért Roboám Jeruzsálemben, és megerõsíté a városokat Júdában. ⁶ Így megépíté Bethlehemet, Etámot és Tékoát, ⁷ Bethsúrt, Sókót és Adullámot, ⁸ Gátot, Marésát és Zifet, ⁹ Adoráimot, Lákist és Azekát, ¹⁰ Sorát, Ajalont és Hebront, melyek erõs városok valának Júdában és Benjáminban. ¹¹ És mikor megerõsítette [ez] erõsségeket, helyezett azokba elõljárókat és [szerze] tárházakat eleségnek és bornak és olajnak. ¹² És mindenik városban [szerze] paizsokat és kopjákat, és rendkivül megerõsíté azokat.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ketika Raja Rehabeam tiba di Yerusalem, ia mengumpulkan 180.000 prajuritnya yang terbaik dari suku Yehuda dan Benyamin untuk memerangi orang Israel dan memulihkan kekuasaannya atas suku-suku di bagian utara Israel. ² Tetapi TUHAN menyuruh Nabi Semaya ³ menyampaikan pesan ini kepada Rehabeam dan kepada semua orang dalam suku Yehuda dan Benyamin, ⁴ "Janganlah memerangi saudara-saudaramu orang Israel. Pulanglah! Apa yang telah terjadi adalah kehendak-Ku." Maka mereka semuanya menuruti perintah TUHAN dan tidak jadi pergi memerangi Yerobeam. ⁵ Rehabeam tinggal di Yerusalem dan menyuruh orang membangun benteng-benteng untuk kota-kota di wilayah Yehuda dan Benyamin, yaitu: ⁶ kota Betlehem, Etam, Tekoa, ⁷ Bet-Zur, Sokho, Adulam, ⁸ Gat, Mares, Zif, ⁹ Adoraim, Lakhis, Azeka, ¹⁰ Zora, Ayalon dan Hebron. ¹¹ Ia memperkuat kota-kota berbenteng itu dan menempatkan seorang komandan pasukan di setiap kota itu. Masing-masing kota itu dilengkapinya dengan persediaan makanan, minyak zaitun dan anggur ¹² serta perisai dan tombak. Dengan demikian wilayah Yehuda dan Benyamin tetap di dalam kekuasaannya. ¹³ Imam-imam dan orang Lewi dari semua wilayah Israel pergi bergabung dengan Rehabeam. ¹⁴ Orang-orang Lewi itu meninggalkan padang-padang rumput dan tanah mereka dan pindah ke Yehuda dan Yerusalem, sebab Yerobeam dan raja-raja yang menggantikannya tidak mengizinkan mereka bekerja sebagai imam TUHAN. ¹⁵ Yerobeam mengangkat imam-imamnya sendiri untuk melayani di tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala dan untuk menyembah jin-jin serta patung sapi yang dibuatnya sendiri. ¹⁶ Orang-orang dari semua suku Israel yang sungguh-sungguh ingin menyembah TUHAN, Allah Israel, pindah ke Yerusalem, mengikuti orang-orang Lewi itu supaya dapat mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN, Allah yang disembah leluhur mereka. ¹⁷ Dengan demikian kerajaan Yehuda menjadi lebih kuat. Selama tiga tahun mereka mendukung pemerintahan Rehabeam putra Salomo itu, dan hidup seperti pada zaman pemerintahan Raja Daud dan Raja Salomo. ¹⁸ Rehabeam kawin dengan Mahalat; ayah Mahalat ialah Yerimot putra Daud, dan ibunya ialah Abihail anak Eliab, cucu Isai. ¹⁹ Mereka mempunyai tiga anak laki-laki: Yeus, Semarya dan Zaham. ²⁰ Kemudian Rehabeam kawin dengan Maakha anak Absalom. Mereka mendapat empat anak laki-laki: Abia, Atai, Ziza dan Selomit. ²¹ Rehabeam mempunyai 18 istri dan 60 selir, 28 anak laki-laki dan 60 anak perempuan. Dari semua istri dan selirnya itu, yang paling dicintainya adalah Maakha. ²² Itu sebabnya Abia anak Maakha lebih disukainya daripada semua anaknya yang lain, sehingga Abialah juga yang dipilihnya untuk menggantikan dia menjadi raja. ²³ Dengan bijaksana Rehabeam memberikan tugas-tugas kepada putra-putranya dan menempatkan mereka di kota-kota berbenteng di seluruh wilayah Yehuda dan Benyamin. Ia memberi mereka makanan berlimpah-limpah, dan juga menyediakan banyak istri untuk mereka.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Roboamo adunque essendo giunto in Gerusalemme, raunò la casa di Giuda e di Beniamino in numero di centottantamila uomini di guerra scelti, per combattere contro ad Israele, per ridurre il regno sotto l’ubbidienza di Roboamo. ² Ma la parola del Signore fu indirizzata a Semaia, uomo di Dio, dicendo: ³ Di’ a Roboamo, figliuolo di Salomone, re di Giuda, ed a tutti gl’Israeliti, che sono in Giuda ed in Beniamino: ⁴ Così ha detto il Signore: Non salite, e non combattete contro a’ vostri fratelli; ritornatevene ciascuno a casa sua; perciocchè questa cosa è proceduta da me. Ed essi ubbidirono alle parole del Signore, e se ne ritornarono, senza andare contro a Geroboamo. ⁵ E ROBOAMO abitò in Gerusalemme, ed edificò delle città in Giuda per fortezze. ⁶ Ed edificò Bet-lehem, ed Etam, e Tecoa, ⁷ e Bet-sur, e Soco, ed Adullam, ⁸ e Gat, e Maresa, e Zif, ⁹ ed Adoraim, e Lachis, ed Azeca, ¹⁰ e Sora, ed Aialon, ed Hebron, ch’erano città forti in Giuda ed in Beniamino. ¹¹ Così fortificò queste fortezze, e vi mise de’ capitani, e de’ magazzini di vittuaglia, e d’olio e di vino. ¹² E in ciascuna città mise degli scudi e delle lance; e le fortificò grandemente. Così Giuda e Beniamino furono a lui. ¹³ Or i sacerdoti ed i Leviti ch’erano in tutto il paese d’Israele si ridussero appresso di lui da tutte le lor contrade. ¹⁴ Perciocchè i Leviti lasciarono i lor contadi, e le lor possessioni, ed andarono in Giuda ed in Gerusalemme; perciocchè Geroboamo ed i suoi figliuoli li scacciarono, acciocchè non esercitassero più il sacerdozio al Signore. ¹⁵ E Geroboamo si costituì de’ sacerdoti per gli alti luoghi, e per li demoni, e per li vitelli ch’egli fece. ¹⁶ E, dopo que’ Leviti, quelli d’infra tutte le tribù d’Israele che disposero l’animo loro a cercare il Signore Iddio d’Israele, vennero in Gerusalemme, per sacrificare al Signore Iddio de’ lor padri; ¹⁷ e fortificarono il regno di Giuda, e rinforzarono Roboamo, figliuolo di Salomone, per lo spazio di tre anni; perciocchè camminarono nella via di Davide e di Salomone, lo spazio di tre anni. ¹⁸ Or Roboamo si prese per moglie Mahalat, figliuola di Ierimot, figliuolo di Davide, ed Abihail, figliuola di Eliab, figliuolo d’Isai; ¹⁹ la quale gli partorì questi figliuoli, cioè: Ieus, e Semaria, e Zaham. ²⁰ E, dopo lei, prese Maaca, figliuola di Absalom, la quale gli partorì Abia, ed Attai, e Ziza, e Selomit. ²¹ E Roboamo amò Maaca, figliuola di Absalom, sopra tutte le sue altre mogli e concubine; conciossiachè egli avesse prese diciotto mogli, e sessanta concubine; onde generò ventotto figliuoli, e sessanta figliuole. ²² E Roboamo costituì Abia, figliuolo di Maaca, per capo della sua casa, per principe sopra i suoi fratelli; perciocchè intendeva di farlo re. ²³ E prudentemente si avvisò di dispergere tutti i suoi figliuoli per tutte le contrade di Giuda e di Beniamino, per tutte le città forti; ed assegnò loro da vivere abbondantemente, e procacciò loro molte mogli.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Roboamo, giunto che fu a Gerusalemme, radunò la casa di Giuda e di Beniamino, centottantamila uomini, guerrieri scelti, per combattere contro Israele e restituire il regno a Roboamo. ² Ma la parola dell’Eterno fu così rivolta a Scemaia, uomo di Dio: ³ "Parla a Roboamo, figliuolo di Salomone, re di Giuda, e a tutto Israele in Giuda e in Beniamino, e di’ loro: ⁴ Così parla l’Eterno: Non salite a combattere contro i vostri fratelli! Ognuno se ne torni a casa sua; perché questo e avvenuto per voler mio". Quelli ubbidirono alla parola dell’Eterno, e se ne tornaron via rinunziando a marciare contro Geroboamo. ⁵ Roboamo abitò in Gerusalemme, e costruì delle città fortificate in Giuda. ⁶ Costruì Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, ⁷ Beth-Tsur, Soco, Adullam, ⁸ Gath, Maresha, Zif, ⁹ Adoraim, Lakis, Azeka, ¹⁰ Tsorea, Ajalon ed Hebron, che erano in Giuda e in Beniamino, e ne fece delle città fortificate. ¹¹ Munì queste città fortificate, vi pose dei comandanti e dei magazzini di viveri, d’olio e di vino; ¹² e in ognuna di queste città mise scudi e lance, e le rese straordinariamente forti. E Giuda e Beniamino furon per lui. ¹³ I sacerdoti e i Leviti di tutto Israele vennero da tutte le loro contrade a porsi accanto a lui; ¹⁴ poiché i Leviti abbandonarono i loro contadi e le loro proprietà, e vennero in Giuda e a Gerusalemme; perché Geroboamo, con i suoi figliuoli, li avea cacciati perché non esercitassero più l’ufficio di sacerdoti dell’Eterno, ¹⁵ e s’era creato de’ sacerdoti per gli alti luoghi, per i demoni, e per i vitelli che avea fatti. ¹⁶ E quelli di tutte le tribù d’Israele che aveano in cuore di cercare l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele, seguirono i Leviti a Gerusalemme per offrir sacrifizi all’Eterno, all’Iddio del loro padri; ¹⁷ e fortificarono così il regno di Giuda e resero stabile Roboamo, figliuolo di Salomone, durante tre anni; perché per tre anni seguiron la via di Davide e di Salomone. ¹⁸ Roboamo prese per moglie Mahalath, figliuola di Jerimoth, figliuolo di Davide e di Abihail, figliuola di Eliab, figliuolo d’Isai. ¹⁹ Essa gli partorì questi figliuoli: Jeush, Scemaria e Zaham. ²⁰ Dopo di lei, prese Maaca, figliuola d’Absalom, la quale gli partorì Ahija, Attai, Ziza e Scelomith. ²¹ E Roboamo amò Maaca, figliuola di Absalom, più di tutte le sue mogli e di tutte le sue concubine; perché ebbe diciotto mogli, e sessanta concubine, e generò ventotto figliuoli e sessanta figliuole. ²² Roboamo stabilì Abija, figliuolo di Maaca, come capo della famiglia e principe de’ suoi fratelli, perché aveva in mente di farlo re. ²³ E, con avvedutezza, sparse tutti i suoi figliuoli per tutte le contrade di Giuda e di Beniamino, in tutte le città fortificate, dette loro viveri in abbondanza, e cercò per loro molte mogli.

Jie pakluso Viešpaties žodžiams ir sugrįžo, atsisakę eiti prieš Jeroboamą. ⁵ Roboamas gyveno Jeruzalėje; jis sustiprino šiuos Judo miestus: ⁶ Betliejų, Etamą, Tekoją, ⁷ Bet Cūrą, Sochoją, Adulamą, ⁸ Gatą, Marešą, Zifą, ⁹ Adorajimą, Lachišą, Azeką, ¹⁰ Corą, Ajaloną ir Hebroną, kurie yra Jude ir Benjamine. ¹¹ Sustiprinęs tvirtoves, jis paskyrė joms viršininkus ir įrengė jose maisto, aliejaus ir vyno sandėlius. ¹² Kiekviename mieste jis laikė skydų bei iečių ir labai juos sutvirtino. Taip Judas ir Benjaminas pasiliko su juo. ¹³ Kunigai ir levitai, gyvenantys Izraelyje, iš viso krašto susirinko į Judą. ¹⁴ Levitai, palikę savo priemiesčius ir nuosavybę, atėjo į Judą ir Jeruzalę, nes Jeroboamas ir jo sūnūs pašalino juos iš Viešpaties kunigų tarnystės ¹⁵ ir paskyrė kunigus aukoti aukštumose demonams ir veršiams, kuriuos jis padarė. ¹⁶ Paskui juos ir visi, kurie nukreipė savo širdis, kad ieškotų Viešpaties, Izraelio Dievo, iš visų Izraelio giminių atėjo į Jeruzalę, norėdami aukoti Viešpačiui, savo tėvų Dievui. ¹⁷ Jie sustiprino Judo karalystę ir padarė Saliamono sūnų Roboamą stiprų trejus metus; nes tuos metus jie vaikščiojo Dovydo ir Saliamono keliais. ¹⁸ Roboamas vedė Mahalatą, Dovydo sūnaus Jerimoto ir Abihailės, kurios tėvas buvo Eliabas, Jesės sūnus, dukterį. ¹⁹ Mahalata pagimdė jam Jeušą, Šemariją ir Zahamą. ²⁰ Po jos Roboamas dar vedė Abšalomo dukterį Maaką, kuri pagimdė Abiją, Atają, Zizą ir Šelomitą. ²¹ Roboamas mylėjo Abšalomo dukterį Maaką labiau už visas kitas savo žmonas ir suguloves. Jis turėjo aštuoniolika žmonų ir šešiasdešimt sugulovių, dvidešimt aštuonis sūnus ir šešiasdešimt dukterų. ²² Roboamas paskyrė Maakos sūnų Abiją brolių vyresniuoju, nes norėjo padaryti jį karaliumi. ²³ Jis elgėsi išmintingai, išskirstydamas visus savo sūnus po Judą ir Benjamino žemių sustiprintus miestus, teikdamas jiems gausiai maisto ir parūpindamas daug žmonų.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Przyjechawszy tedy Roboam do Jeruzalemu, zebrał dom Judowy i pokolenie Benjaminowe, sto i ośmdziesiąt tysięcy mężów przebranych do boju, aby walczyli z Izraelem, a żeby przywrócone było królestwo do Roboama. ² I stało się słowo Pańskie do Semejasza, męża Bożego, mówiąc: ³ Powiedz Roboamowi, synowi Salomonowemu, królowi Judzkiemu, i wszystkiemu Izraelowi w Judzie i w pokoleniu Benjaminowem, mówiąc: ⁴ Tak mówi Pan: Nie wychodźcie, ani walczcie z braćmi waszymi, wróćcie się każdy do domu swego; albowiem odemnie stała się ta rzecz. I usłuchali słowa Pańskiego, i wrócili się, a nie ciągnęli przeciw Jeroboamowi. ⁵ I mieszkał Roboam w Jeruzalemie, a pobudował miasta obronne w Judzie. ⁶ I zbudował Betlehem, i Etam i Tekue; ⁷ I Betsur, i Soko, i Adullam: ⁸ I Get, i Maresa, i Zyf: ⁹ I Adoraim, i Lachis, i Aseka; ¹⁰ I Sora, i Ajalon, i Hebron, które były w Judzie i w pokoleniu Benjaminowem miasta obronne. ¹¹ A gdy zmocnił one twierdze, postanowił w nich starostów, i wystawił szpichlerze dla zboża, i dla oliwy, i dla wina. ¹² A w każdem mieście złożył tarcze i włócznie, a opatrzył je bardzo mocno: a tak panował nad Judą i Benjaminem. ¹³ Kapłani też i Lewitowie, którzy byli we wszystkim Izraelu, zebrali się do niego ze wszystkich granic swoich. ¹⁴ Bo opuściwszy Lewitowie przedmieścia swoje, i osiadłości swoje, szli do Judy i do Jeruzalemu; (gdyż był ich wyrzucił Jeroboam i synowie jego, aby nie odprawowali urzędu kapłańskiego Panu. ¹⁵ I postanowił sobie kapłanów po wyżynach, i dyjabłom, i cielcom, których był naczynił.) ¹⁶ A za nimi ze wszystkich pokoleń Izraelskich, którzy obrócili serca swe ku szukaniu Pana, Boga Izraelskiego, przyszli do Jeruzalemu, aby ofiarowali Panu, Bogu ojców swoich. ¹⁷ A tak umocnili królestwo Judzkie, i utwierdzili Roboama, syna Salomonowego, przez trzy lata; albowiem chodzili drogą Dawida i Salomona przez one trzy lata. ¹⁸ Potem pojął sobie Roboam za żonę Mahalatę córkę Jerymota, syna Dawidowego, i Abihailę, córkę Elijaba, syna Isajego. ¹⁹ Która mu urodziła synów: Jehusa, i Semaryjasza, i Zaama. ²⁰ A po niej pojął Maachę, córkę Absalomową, która mu urodziła Abijasza, i Etaja, i Sysę, i Salomitę. ²¹ I miłował Roboam Maachę, córkę Absalomową, nad wszystkie żony swoje, i nad założnice swoje. Albowiem pojął był żon ośmnaście, a założnic sześćdziesiąt, i spłodził dwadzieścia i ośm synów i sześćdziesiąt córek. ²² I postanowił Roboam Abijasza, syna Maachy, za księcia, za hetmana między braćmi jego; albowiem zamyślał go uczynić królem. ²³ A roztropnie sobie postępując, rozsadził wszystkich innych synów swych po wszystkich krainach Judzkich i Benjaminowych, po wszystkich miastach obronnych, i opatrzył ich dostatkiem żywności, i nadał im wiele żon.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tendo Roboão chegado a Jerusalém, convocou da casa de Judá e Benjamim cento e oitenta mil escolhidos, destros na guerra, para pelejarem contra Israel a fim de restituírem o reino a Roboão. ² Veio, porém, a palavra do Senhor a Semaías, homem de Deus, dizendo: ³ Fala a Roboão, filho de Salomão, rei de Judá, e a todo o Israel em Judá e Benjamim, dizendo: ⁴ Assim diz o Senhor: Não subireis, nem pelejareis contra os vossos irmãos; volte cada um à sua casa, porque de mim proveio isto. Ouviram, pois, a palavra do Senhor, e desistiram de ir contra Jeroboão. ⁵ E Roboão habitou em Jerusalém, e edificou em Judá cidades para fortalezas. ⁶ Edificou, pois, Belém, Etan, Tecoa, ⁷ Bet-Sur, Socó, Adulam, ⁸ Gat, Maressa, Zif, ⁹ Adoraim, Láquis, Azeca, ¹⁰ Zorá, Aialon e Hebron, que estão em Judá e em Benjamim, cidades fortes. ¹¹ Fortificou estas cidades e pôs nelas capitães, e armazéns de víveres, de azeite e de vinho. ¹² E pôs em cada cidade paveses e lanças, e fortificou-as grandemente, de sorte que reteve Judá e Benjamim. ¹³ Também os sacerdotes e os levitas que havia em todo o Israel recorreram a ele de todos os seus termos. ¹⁴ Pois os levitas deixaram os seus arrabaldes e a sua possessão, e vieram para Judá e para Jerusalém, porque Jeroboão e seus filhos os lançaram fora, para que não exercessem o ofício sacerdotal ao Senhor; ¹⁵ e Jeroboão constituiu para si sacerdotes, para os altos, e para os demónios, e para os bezerros que fizera. ¹⁶ Além desses, de todas as tribos de Israel, os que determinaram no seu coração buscar ao Senhor Deus de Israel, também vieram a Jerusalém, para oferecerem sacrifícios ao Senhor Deus de seus pais. ¹⁷ Assim fortaleceram o reino de Judá e corroboraram a Roboão, filho de Salomão, por três anos; porque durante três anos andaram no caminho de David e Salomão. ¹⁸ Roboão tomou para si, por mulher, a Maalate, filha de Jerimot, filho de David; e a Abiail, filha de Eliab, filho de Jessé, ¹⁹ a qual lhe deu os filhos Jeús, Semarias e Zaam. ²⁰ Depois dela tomou a Maaca, filha de Absalão; esta lhe deu Abias, Atai, Ziza e Selomite. ²¹ Amava Roboão a Maaca, filha de Absalão, mais do que a todas as suas outras mulheres e concubinas; pois tinha tomado dezoito mulheres e sessenta concubinas, e gerou vinte e oito filhos e sessenta filhas. ²² E Roboão designou Abias, filho de Maaca, chefe e príncipe entre os seus irmãos, porque queria fazê-lo rei. ²³ Também usou de prudência, distribuindo todos os seus filhos por entre todas as terras de Judá e Benjamim, por todas as cidades fortes; e deu-lhes víveres em abundância, e procurou para eles muitas mulheres.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Da Rehabeam kom til Jerusalem, samlet han Judas hus og Benjamin, hundre og åtti tusen utvalgte krigsmenn, forat de skulde stride mot Israel og vinne riket tilbake for Rehabeam. ² Da kom Herrens ord til Semaja, den Guds mann, og det lød således: ³ Si til Rehabeam, Salomos' sønn Judas konge, og til hele Israel i Juda og Benjamin: ⁴ Så sier Herren: I skal ikke dra op og stride mot eders brødre. Vend hjem igjen hver til sitt hus! For det som har hendt, er kommet fra mig. Da lød de Herrens ord; de vendte om og drog ikke mot Jeroboam. ⁵ Rehabeam blev boende i Jerusalem, og han bygget flere byer i Juda om til festninger. ⁶ Således bygget han Betlehem og Etam og Tekoa ⁷ og Bet-Sur og Soko og Adullam ⁸ og Gat og Maresa og Sif ⁹ og Adora'im og Lakis og Aseka ¹⁰ og Sor'a og Ajalon og Hebron, som alle lå i Juda og i Benjamin, om til faste byer. ¹¹ Og han gjorde festningene sterke og innsatte høvedsmenn i dem og forsynte dem med forråd av levnetsmidler og olje og vin ¹² og hver enkelt av dem med skjold og spyd og gjorde dem således meget sterke. Det var Juda og Benjamin han rådet over. ¹³ Og prestene og levittene i hele Israel gikk over til ham fra alle de bygder de bodde i; ¹⁴ for levittene forlot sine jorder og sin eiendom og drog til Juda og Jerusalem, fordi Jeroboam og hans sønner* drev dem bort fra deres tjeneste som prester for Herren, / {* d.e. efterfølgere.} ¹⁵ og han satte andre folk til prester for offerhaugene og for bukkene* og for de kalver han hadde gjort. / {* 3MO 17, 7.} ¹⁶ Og med dem* fulgte fra alle Israels stammer de som vendte sitt hjerte til å søke Herren, Israels Gud; de kom til Jerusalem for å ofre til Herren, sine fedres Gud. / {* prestene og levittene, 2KR 11, 13. 14.} ¹⁷ De styrket Judas rike og trygget kongedømmet for Rehabeam, Salomos sønn, i tre år; for i tre år vandret de på Davids og Salomos vei. ¹⁸ Rehabeam tok sig en hustru foruten Mahalat, datter av Jerimot, Davids sønn; det var Abiha'il, datter av Eliab, Isais sønn; ¹⁹ Og han fikk med henne sønnene Je'us Og Semarja og Saham. ²⁰ Efter henne tok han Ma'aka, Absaloms datter, til hustru; med henne fikk han Abia og Attai og Sisa og Selomit. ²¹ Rehabeam elsket Ma'aka, Absaloms datter, mere enn alle sine andre hustruer og medhustruer; for han hadde tatt sig atten hustruer og seksti medhustruer; og han fikk åtte og tyve sønner og seksti døtre. ²² Rehabeam satte Abia, Ma'akas sønn, til overhode og fyrste blandt hans brødre; for han hadde i sinne å gjøre ham til konge. ²³ Og han lot klokelig alle sine sønner bo rundt om i hele Judas og Benjamins land, i alle de faste byer, og gav dem rikelig underhold og sørget for at de fikk sig en mengde hustruer.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Roboam, venind la Ierusalim, a strîns casa lui Iuda şi a lui Beniamin, o sută optzeci de mii de oameni de frunte, buni pentru război, ca să lupte împotriva lui Israel şi să -l aducă iarăş supt stăpînirea lui Roboam. ² Dar cuvîntul Domnului a vorbit astfel lui Şemaia, omul lui Dumnezeu: ³ ,,Vorbeşte lui Roboam, fiul lui Solomon, împăratul lui Iuda, şi întregului Israel din Iuda şi din Beniamin. Şi spune-le: ⁴ ,,Aşa vorbeşte Domnul:,,Să nu vă suiţi şi să nu faceţi război împotriva fraţilor voştri! Fiecare din voi să se întoarcă acasă, căci dela Mine s'a întîmplat lucrul acesta.,,Ei au ascultat de cuvintele Domnului, s'au întors acasă, şi nu s'au mai dus împotriva lui Ieroboam. ⁵ Roboam a locuit la Ierusalim, şi a zidit cetăţi întărite în Iuda. ⁶ A zidit Betleemul, Etamul, Tecoa, ⁷ Bet-Ţur, Soco, Adulam, ⁸ Gat, Mareşa, Zif, ⁹ Adoraim, Lachis, Azeca, ¹⁰ Ţorea, Aialon şi Hebronul, cari erau în Iuda şi în Beniamin, şi a făcut din ele nişte cetăţi întărite. ¹¹ Le -a întărit, a pus în ele căpitani şi magazii de bucate, de untdelemn şi vin. ¹² A pus în fiecare din aceste cetăţi scuturi şi suliţe, şi le -a făcut foarte tari. Iuda şi Beniamin erau ai lui. ¹³ Preoţii şi Leviţii, cari se aflau în tot Israelul, şi-au părăsit locuinţele şi s'au dus la el; ¹⁴ căci Leviţii şi-au părăsit ţinuturile şi moşiile şi au venit în Iuda şi la Ierusalim, pentrucă Ieroboam şi fiii săi i-au împedecat să-şi împlinească slujbele ca preoţi ai Domnului. ¹⁵ Ieroboam a pus preoţi pentru înălţimile, pentru ţapii şi pentru viţeii pe cari îi făcuse. ¹⁶ Aceia din toate seminţiile lui Israel, cari aveau pe inimă să caute pe Domnul, Dumnezeul lui Israel, au urmat pe Leviţi la Ierusalim, ca să jertfească Domnului, Dumnezeului părinţilor lor. ¹⁷ Ei au dat astfel tărie împărăţiei lui Iuda, şi au întărit pe Roboam, fiul lui Solomon, timp de trei ani; căci trei ani au umblat în calea lui David şi a lui Solomon. ¹⁸ Roboam a luat de nevastă pe Mahalat, fata lui Ierimot, fiul lui David şi al Abihailei, fata lui Eliab, fiul lui Isai. ¹⁹ Ea i -a născut fii pe: Ieuş, Şemaria şi Zaham. ²⁰ După ea, a luat pe Maaca, fata lui Absalom. Ea i -a născut pe Abia, pe Atai, pe Ziza şi pe Şelomit. ²¹ Roboam iubea pe Maaca, fata lui Absalom, mai mult de cît pe toate nevestele şi ţiitoarele lui; căci a avut optsprezece neveste şi şasezeci de ţiitoare, şi a născut douăzeci şi opt de fii şi şasezeci de fete. ²² Roboam a dat cel dintîi loc lui Abia, fiul Maachei, şi l -a pus căpetenie peste fraţii lui, căci voia să -l facă împărat. ²³ El a lucrat cu minte, împrăştiind pe toţi fiii săi în toate ţinuturile lui Iuda şi lui Beniamin, în toate cetăţile întărite; le -a dat de mîncare din belşug, şi le -a căutat o mulţime de neveste.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ І прийшов Рехав'ам до Єрусалиму, і зібрав дім Юдин та Веніяминів, сто й вісімдесят тисяч вибраних військових, щоб воювати з Ізраїлем, щоб вернути царство Рехав'амові. ² І було Господнє слово до Шемаї, чоловіка Божого, говорячи: ³ Скажи Рехав'амові, Соломонову синові, цареві Юдиному, та всьому Ізраїлеві в Юді та в Веніямині, говорячи: ⁴ Так сказав Господь: Не йдіть і не воюйте з своїми братами! Верніться кожен до дому свого, бо ця річ сталася від Мене! І вони послухалися Господніх слів, і вернулися з походу на Єровоама. ⁵ І осівся Рехав'ам в Єрусалимі, і побудував твердинні міста в Юді. ⁶ І збудував він Віфлеєма, і Етама, і Текою, ⁷ і Бет-Цура, і Сохо, і Адуллама, ⁸ і Ґата, і Марешу, і Зіфа, ⁹ і Адораїма, і Лахіша, і Азеку, ¹⁰ і Цор'у, і Айялона, і Хеврона, що в Юді та в Веніямині, міста твердинні. ¹¹ І зміцнив він ті твердині, і дав у них начальників, і запаси, і оливи, і вина, ¹² а до кожного окремого міста великі щити та ратища, і дуже сильно їх позміцнював. І був його Юда та Веніямин. ¹³ А священики та Левити, що були в усьому Ізраїлі, зібралися до нього з усієї їхньої границі. ¹⁴ Бо Левити кидали пасовиська свої та власність свою, і приходили до Юди та до Єрусалиму, бо Єровоам та сини його усунули їх від священичого служіння Господеві, ¹⁵ і понаставляли собі священиків для пагірків та демонів, та для тельців, що він понароблював. ¹⁶ А за ними, зо всіх Ізраїлевих племен ті, що віддавали своє серце шукати Господа, Бога Ізраїля, приходили до Єрусалиму приносити жертви Господеві, Богові батьків своїх. ¹⁷ І зміцнили вони Юдине царство, і підсилили Рехав'ама, Соломонового сина, на три роки, бо вони ходили три роки дорогою Давида та Соломона. ¹⁸ І взяв собі Рехав'ам жінку Махалат, дочку Єрімота, Давидового сина, та Авіхаїл, дочку Еліава, Ісаєвого сина. ¹⁹ І вона породила йому синів: Єуша, і Шемарію, Загама. ²⁰ А по ній він узяв Мааху, дочку Авесаломову, і вона породила йому Авійю, і Аттая, і Зізу, і Шеломіта. ²¹ І покохав Рехав'ам Мааху, Авесаломову дочку, над усіх жінок своїх та наложниць своїх, бо він узяв вісімнадцять жінок та шістдесят наложниць, і породив двадцять і вісім синів та шістдесят дочок. ²² А за голову Рехав'ам поставив Авійю, Маахиного сина, за володаря серед братів його, бо він хотів настановити його царем. ²³ І мудро він чинив, і порозсилав усіх синів своїх до всіх країв Юди й Веніямина, до всіх твердинних міст, і дав їм багате утримання, і підшукав їм багато жінок.
