Berean Standard Bible
1Venit autem Roboam in Jerusalem, et convocavit universam domum Juda et Benjamin, centum octoginta millia electorum atque bellantium, ut dimicaret contra Israël, et converteret ad se regnum suum.
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.
2Factusque est sermo Domini ad Semeiam hominem Dei, dicens:
2But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God:
3Loquere ad Roboam filium Salomonis regem Juda, et ad universum Israël, qui est in Juda et Benjamin:
3“Tell Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and all the Israelites in Judah and Benjamin
4Hæc dicit Dominus: Non ascendetis, neque pugnabitis contra fratres vestros: revertatur unusquisque in domum suam, quia mea hoc gestum est voluntate. Qui cum audissent sermonem Domini, reversi sunt, nec perrexerunt contra Jeroboam.
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.
5Habitavit autem Roboam in Jerusalem, et ædificavit civitates muratas in Juda.
5Rehoboam continued to live in Jerusalem, and he built up cities for defense in Judah.
6Exstruxitque Bethlehem, et Etam, et Thecue,
6He built up Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7Bethsur quoque, et Socho, et Odollam,
7Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam,
8necnon et Geth, et Maresa, et Ziph,
8Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
9sed et Aduram, et Lachis, et Azeca,
9Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10Saraa quoque, et Ajalon, et Hebron, quæ erant in Juda et Benjamin, civitates munitissimas.
10Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, the fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin.
11Cumque clausisset eas muris, posuit in eis principes, ciborumque horrea, hoc est, olei, et vini.
11He strengthened their fortresses and put officers in them, with supplies of food, oil, and wine.
12Sed et in singulis urbibus fecit armamentarium scutorum et hastarum, firmavitque eas summa diligentia, et imperavit super Judam et Benjamin.
12He also put shields and spears in all the cities and strengthened them greatly. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
13Sacerdotes autem et Levitæ qui erant in universo Israël, venerunt ad eum de cunctis sedibus suis,
13Moreover, the priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel stood with Rehoboam.
14relinquentes suburbana et possessiones suas, et transeuntes ad Judam et Jerusalem: eo quod abjecisset eos Jeroboam et posteri ejus, ne sacerdotio Domini fungerentur.
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.
15Qui constituit sibi sacerdotes excelsorum, et dæmoniorum, vitulorumque quos fecerat.
15And Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat demons and calf idols he had made.
16Sed et de cunctis tribubus Israël, quicumque dederant cor suum ut quærerent Dominum Deum Israël, venerunt in Jerusalem ad immolandum victimas suas coram Domino Deo patrum suorum.
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.
17Et roboraverunt regnum Juda, et confirmaverunt Roboam filium Salomonis per tres annos: ambulaverunt enim in viis David et Salomonis, annis tantum tribus.
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.
18Duxit autem Roboam uxorem Mahalath filiam Jerimoth filii David: Abihail quoque filiam Eliab filii Isai,
18And Rehoboam married Mahalath, who was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth and of Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab.
19quæ peperit ei filios Jehus, et Somoriam, et Zoom.
19She bore sons to him: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20Post hanc quoque accepit Maacha filiam Absalom, quæ peperit ei Abia, et Ethai, et Ziza, et Salomith.
20After her, he married Maacah daughter of Absalom, and she bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21Amavit autem Roboam Maacha filiam Absalom super omnes uxores suas et concubinas: nam uxores decem et octo duxerat, concubinas autem sexaginta: et genuit viginti octo filios, et sexaginta filias.
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.
22Constituit vero in capite Abiam filium Maacha ducem super omnes fratres suos: ipsum enim regem facere cogitabat,
22Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as chief prince among his brothers, intending to make him king.
23quia sapientior fuit, et potentior super omnes filios ejus, et in cunctis finibus Juda et Benjamin, et in universis civitatibus muratis: præbuitque eis escas plurimas, et multas petivit uxores.
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.
