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.
21Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
22Καὶ ἐποίησε Ῥοβοὰμ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· καὶ παρεζήλωσεν αὐτὸν ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν αἷς ἥμαρτον.
22And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and by the sins they committed they provoked Him to jealous anger more than all their fathers had done.
23Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἑαυτοῖς ὑψηλὰ καὶ στήλας καὶ ἄλση ἐπὶ πάντα βουνὸν ὑψηλὸν, καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου συσκίου.
23They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
24Καὶ σύνδεσμος ἐγενήθη ἐν τῇ γῇ, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν βδελυγμάτων τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξῇρε Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
24There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
25Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ πέμπτῳ βασιλεύοντος Ῥοβοὰμ, ἀνέβη Σουσακεὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ,
25In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem.
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.
26He seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields that Solomon had made.
27Καὶ ἐποίησε Ῥοβοὰμ ὁ βασιλεὺς ὅπλα χαλκᾶ ἀντʼ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐπέθεντο ἐπʼ αὐτὸν οἱ ἡγούμενοι τῶν παρατρεχόντων οἱ φυλάσσοντες τὸν πυλῶνα οἴκου βασιλέως.
27Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
28Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε εἰσεπορεύετο ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ ᾖρον αὐτὰ οἱ παρατρέχοντες καὶ ἀπηρείδοντο αὐτὰ εἰς τὸ θεὲ τῶν παρατρεχόντων.
28And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would bear the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
29Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ῥοβοὰμ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;
29As for the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, along with all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
30Καὶ πόλεμος ἦν ἀναμέσον Ῥοβοὰμ καὶ ἀναμέσον Ἱεροβοὰμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
30There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.
31Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ῥοβοὰμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀβιοὺ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
31And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David; his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
