2 Chronicles 11:1-10 ▼

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. And they will hear the words of Jehovah and turn back from going against Jeroboam.

5 And Rehoboam will dwell in Jerusalem, and he will build cities for fortification in Judah.

6 And he will build the house of bread, and the place of ravenous beasts, and the pitching of tents,

7 And the house of the rock, and the branches, and the justice of the people,

8 And the wine-press, and Mareshah, and Ziph,

9 And the two mounds, and Lachish, and Azekah,

10 And Zorah, and Ajalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of fortifications.
