1When 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.
2Toe Sithaw ih kami Shemaiah khae hoiah Sithaw ih lok to angzoh;
2But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God:
3Judah siangpahrang Solomon capa Rehoboam, Judah prae thungah kaom Israel kaminawk boih hoi Benjamin khaeah, hae tiah thui paeh;
3“Tell Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and all the Israelites in Judah and Benjamin

4that 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.

10Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, the fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin.
11Pop parai misatuh kami to suek moe, misatuh angraengnawk doeh a suek; caaknaeknawk, olive situinawk hoi misurtuinawk boih patung coek;
11He strengthened their fortresses and put officers in them, with supplies of food, oil, and wine.
12vangpui boih ah aphaw hoi tayaenawk to suek moe, kaminawk to thacaksak; to pongah Judah hoi Benjamin loe anih bangah oh o.
12He also put shields and spears in all the cities and strengthened them greatly. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
13Israel prae thung boih ah kaom Levi hoi qaimanawk boih anih khaeah angzoh o.
13Moreover, the priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel stood with Rehoboam.
14Jeroboam hoi a capanawk loe Levinawk mah Angraeng hmaa ah qaima toksakhaih hoiah anghaksak ving boeh pongah, Levinawk loe a tawnh o ih hmuenmaenawk to angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh o taak moe, Judah hoi Jerusalem ah angzoh o.
14For 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.
15Jeroboam mah hmuensangnawk, taqawk saenawk hoi a sak ih maitaw caanawk khaeah toksak hanah qaimanawk to tokpaek.
15And Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat demons and calf idols he had made.

16Those 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.
17Nihcae mah Judah prae to thacak o sak, Solomon capa Rehoboam to saning thumto thung to tiah thacak o sak; saning thumto thung David hoi Solomon caehhaih loklam to pazui o.
17So 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.
18Rehoboam loe David capa Jerimoth ih canu Mahalath, Jesse capa Eliab canu Abihail to zu ah lak.
18And Rehoboam married Mahalath, who was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth and of Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab.
19Anih mah Jeush, Shamariah hoi Zaham to sak.
19She bore sons to him: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20Anih lak pacoengah Rehoboam mah Absalom ih canu Maakah to lak let bae, anih mah Abijah, Attai, Ziza hoi Shelomith to sak pae.
20After her, he married Maacah daughter of Absalom, and she bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21Rehoboam loe zupui hatlaitazetto, zula quitarukto tawnh; capa pumphae tazetto, canu quitarukto a sak, zupui hoi zulanawk boih thungah Absalom ih canu Maakah to anih mah palung kue.
21Rehoboam 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.
22Rehoboam mah Maakah ih capa Abijah to siangpahrang ah suek han poekhaih tawnh pongah, anih to capanawk boih thungah kalen koek ah suek.
22Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as chief prince among his brothers, intending to make him king.

23Rehoboam 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.
