21And Roboam the son of Solomon reigned in Juda: Roboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem the city, which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. And his mother’s name wee Naama an Ammonitess.
21Καὶ Ῥοβοὰμ υἱὸς Σαλωμὼν ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν· υἱὸς τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἑνὸς ἐνιαυτῶν Ῥοβοὰμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν· καὶ ἑπτακαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τῇ πόλει, ἣν ἐξελέξατο Κύριος θέσθαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Νααμὰ ἡ Ἀμμωνίτις.
22And Juda did evil in the sight of the Lord, and provoked him above all that their fathers had done, in their sins which they committed.
22Καὶ ἐποίησε Ῥοβοὰμ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· καὶ παρεζήλωσεν αὐτὸν ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν αἷς ἥμαρτον.
23For they also built them altars, and statues, and groves upon every high hill and under every green tree:
23Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἑαυτοῖς ὑψηλὰ καὶ στήλας καὶ ἄλση ἐπὶ πάντα βουνὸν ὑψηλὸν, καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου συσκίου.
24There were also the effeminate in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the people whom the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
24Καὶ σύνδεσμος ἐγενήθη ἐν τῇ γῇ, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν βδελυγμάτων τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξῇρε Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
25And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
25Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ πέμπτῳ βασιλεύοντος Ῥοβοὰμ, ἀνέβη Σουσακεὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ,
26And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the king’s treasures, and carried all off: as also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
26καὶ ἔλαβε πάντας τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τὰ δόρατα τὰ χρυσᾶ ἃ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν παίδων Ἀδραζαὰρ βασιλέως Σουβὰ, καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὰ πάντα ἃ ἔλαβεν, ὅπλα τὰ χρυσᾶ ὅσα ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν, καὶ ἀπήνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς Αἴγυπτον.
27And Roboam made shields of brass instead of them, and delivered them into the. hand of the captains of the shieldbearers, and of them that kept watch before the gate of the king’s house.
27Καὶ ἐποίησε Ῥοβοὰμ ὁ βασιλεὺς ὅπλα χαλκᾶ ἀντʼ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐπέθεντο ἐπʼ αὐτὸν οἱ ἡγούμενοι τῶν παρατρεχόντων οἱ φυλάσσοντες τὸν πυλῶνα οἴκου βασιλέως.
28And when the king went into the house of the Lord, they whose office it was to go before him, carried them: and afterwards they brought them back to the armoury of the shieldbearers.
28Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε εἰσεπορεύετο ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ ᾖρον αὐτὰ οἱ παρατρέχοντες καὶ ἀπηρείδοντο αὐτὰ εἰς τὸ θεὲ τῶν παρατρεχόντων.
29Now the rest of the sets of Roboam, and all that he did, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda.
29Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ῥοβοὰμ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;
30And there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam always.
30Καὶ πόλεμος ἦν ἀναμέσον Ῥοβοὰμ καὶ ἀναμέσον Ἱεροβοὰμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
31And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David: and his mother’s name was Naama an Ammonitess: and Abiam his son reigned in his stead.
31Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ῥοβοὰμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀβιοὺ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
