5And RehoboamH7346 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389, and builtH1129 citiesH5892 for defenceH4692 in JudahH3063. 6He builtH1129 even Beth–lehemH1035, and EtamH5862, and TekoaH8620, 7And Beth–zurH1049, and ShocoH7755, and AdullamH5725, 8And GathH1661, and MareshahH4762, and ZiphH2128, 9And AdoraimH115, and LachishH3923, and AzekahH5825, 10And ZorahH6881, and AijalonH357, and HebronH2275, which are in JudahH3063 and in BenjaminH1144 fencedH4694 citiesH5892. 11And he fortifiedH2388 the strong holdsH4694, and putH5414 captainsH5057 in them, and storeH214 of victualH3978, and of oilH8081 and wineH3196. 12And in every several cityH5892 he put shieldsH6793 and spearsH7420, and made them exceedingH3966H7235 strongH2388, having JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 on his side.
13And the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 that were in all IsraelH3478 resortedH3320 to him out of all their coastsH1366.1 14For the LevitesH3881 leftH5800 their suburbsH4054 and their possessionH272, and cameH3212 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: for JeroboamH3379 and his sonsH1121 had cast them offH2186 from executing the priest’s officeH3547 unto YhwhH3068: 15And he ordainedH5975 him priestsH3548 for the high placesH1116, and for the devilsH8163, and for the calvesH5695 which he had madeH6213. 16And afterH310 them out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 such as setH5414 their heartsH3824 to seekH1245 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, to sacrificeH2076 unto YhwhH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. 17So they strengthenedH2388 the kingdomH4438 of JudahH3063, and made RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010 strongH553, threeH7969 yearsH8141: for threeH7969 yearsH8141 they walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of DavidH1732 and SolomonH8010.
