2 Chronicles 11
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam.
1ΚΑΙ ἦλθε Ροβοὰμ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασε τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ Βενιαμὶν ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα χιλιάδας νεανίσκων ποιούντων πόλεμον, καὶ ἐπολέμει πρὸς Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Ροβοάμ.
2But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying:
2καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Σαμαίαν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγων·
3'Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying:
3εἰπὸν πρὸς Ροβοὰμ τὸν τοῦ Σαλωμὼν καὶ πάντα Ἰούδαν καὶ Βενιαμὶν λέγων·
4Thus saith the LORD: Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren; return every man to his house, for this thing is of Me.' So they hearkened unto the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
4τάδε λέγει Κύριος· οὐκ ἀναβήσεσθε καὶ οὐ πολεμήσεσθε πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν· ἀποστρέφετε ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι παρ' ἐμοῦ ἐγένετο τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο. καὶ ἐπήκουσαν τοῦ λόγου Κυρίου καὶ ἀπεστράφησαν τοῦ μὴ πορευθῆναι ἐπὶ Ἱεροβοάμ.
5And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
5καὶ κατῴκησε Ροβοὰμ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε πόλεις τειχήρεις ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ.
6He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
6καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Βηθλεὲμ καὶ Αἰτὰν καὶ Θεκωὲ
7and Beth-zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
7καὶ Βαιθσουρὰ καὶ τὴν Σοχὼθ καὶ τὴν Ὀδολλὰμ
8and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
8καὶ τὴν Γὲθ καὶ τὴν Μαρισὰν καὶ τὴν Ζὶφ
9and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
9καὶ τὴν Ἀδωραὶμ καὶ Λαχίς, καὶ τὴν Ἀζηκὰ
10and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
10καὶ τὴν Σαραὰ καὶ τὴν Αἰλὼμ καὶ τὴν Χεβρών, ἥ ἐστι τοῦ Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμίν, πόλεις τειχήρεις.
11And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and oil and wine.
11καὶ ὠχύρωσεν αὐτὰς τείχεσι καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐν αὐταῖς ἡγουμένους καὶ παραθέσεις βρωμάτων, ἔλαιον καὶ οἶνον,
12And in every city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. And Judah and Benjamin adhered to him.
12κατὰ πόλιν καὶ κατὰ πόλιν θυρεοὺς καὶ δόρατα, καὶ κατίσχυσεν αὐτὰς εἰς πλῆθος σφόδρα· καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμίν.
13And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their border.
13καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν παντὶ Ἰσραὴλ συνήχθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐκ πάντων τῶν ὁρίων·
14For the Levites left their open land and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest's office unto the LORD;
14ὅτι ἐγκατέλιπον οἱ Λευῖται τὰ σκηνώματα τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν πρὸς Ἰούδα εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὅτι ἐξέβαλεν αὐτοὺς Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ μὴ λειτουργεῖν Κυρίῳ
15and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the satyrs, and for the calves which he had made.
15καὶ κατέστησεν ἑαυτῷ ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ τοῖς εἰδώλοις καὶ τοῖς ματαίοις καὶ τοῖς μόσχοις, ἃ ἐποίησεν Ἱεροβοάμ,
16And after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice unto the LORD, the God of their fathers.
16καὶ ἐξέβαλεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ φυλῶν Ἰσραήλ, οἳ ἔδωκαν καρδίαν αὐτῶν τοῦ ζητῆσαι Κύριον Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ θῦσαι Κυρίῳ Θεῷ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν
17So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
17καὶ κατίσχυσαν τὴν βασιλείαν Ἰούδα καὶ κατίσχυσαν Ροβοὰμ τὸν τοῦ Σαλωμὼν εἰς ἔτη τρία, ὅτι ἐπορεύθη ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς Δαυὶδ καὶ Σαλωμὼν ἔτη τρία.
18And Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
18καὶ ἔλαβεν ἑαυτῷ Ροβοὰμ γυναῖκα τὴν Μολλὰθ θυγατέρα Ἱεριμοὺθ υἱοῦ Δαυὶδ καὶ Ἀβιγαίαν θυγατέρα Ἑλιὰβ τοῦ Ἰεσσαί,
19and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
19καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ υἱοὺς τὸν Ἰαοὺς καὶ τὸν Σαμαρίαν καὶ τὸν Ζαάμ.
20And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
20καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἔλαβεν ἑαυτῷ τὴν Μααχὰ θυγατέρα Ἀβεσσαλώμ, καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ τὸν Ἀβιὰ καὶ τὸν Ἰετθὶ καὶ τὸν Ζηζὰ καὶ τὸν Σαλημώθ.
21And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines — for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines, and begot twenty and eight sons and threescore daughters.
21καὶ ἠγάπησε Ροβοὰμ τὴν Μααχὰ θυγατέρα Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ὑπὲρ πάσας τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς παλλακὰς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι γυναῖκας δεκαοκτὼ εἶχε καὶ παλλακὰς τριάκοντα· καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱοὺς εἴκοσι καὶ ὀκτὼ καὶ θυγατέρας ἑξήκοντα.
22And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, even the prince among his brethren; for he was minded to make him king.
22καὶ κατέστησεν εἰς ἄρχοντα Ἀβιὰ τὸν τῆς Μααχὰ εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι βασιλεῦσαι διενοεῖτο αὐτόν·
23And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fortified city; and he gave them victual in abundance. And he sought for them many wives.
23καὶ ηὐξήθη παρὰ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ὁρίοις Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι ταῖς ὀχυραῖς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐταῖς τροφὰς πλῆθος πολὺ καὶ ᾐτήσατο πλῆθος γυναικῶν.
