2 Chronicles 11:1-10 ▼

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 saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, and ye shall not war against your brethren: return every one to his home; for this thing is of me. And they hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

5 And Roboam dwelt 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.
