2 Ljetopisa 11
1 Došavši u Jeruzalem, skupi sav dom Judin i Benjaminov, sto i osamdeset tisuća vrsnih ratnika, da udare na Izraela i da Roboamu vrate kraljevstvo.
And when Rehoboam was come to Ierusalem, he gathered of the house of Iudah and Beniamin nine score thousande chosen men of warre to fight against Israel, and to bring the kingdome againe to Rehoboam.
2 Ali dođe Jahvina riječ Božjem čovjeku Šemaji:
But the worde of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 “Kaži Salomonovu sinu Roboamu, judejskomu kralju, i svim Izraelcima u Judinu i Benjaminovu plemenu:
Speake vnto Rehoboam, the sonne of Salomon King of Iudah, and to all Israel that are in Iudah, and Beniamin, saying,
4 Ovako veli Jahve: 'Ne idite se tući s braćom! Neka se svatko vrati svojoj kući, jer je ovo poteklo od mene.'” I oni poslušaše riječ Jahvinu, vratiše se i ne udariše na Jeroboama.
Thus sayth the Lord, Ye shall not goe vp, nor fight against your brethren: returne euery man to his house: for this thing is done of me. They obeyed therfore the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Ieroboam.
5 Roboam, stolujući u Jeruzalemu, poče dizati tvrde gradove po Judeji.
And Rehoboam dwelt in Ierusalem, and buylt strong cities in Iudah.
6 Tako je sagradio Betlehem, Etam, Tekou,
Hee buylt also Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 Bet Sur, Sokon, Adulam,

8 Gat, Maresu, Zif,

9 Adorajim, Lakiš, Azeku,
And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 Soru, Ajalon i Hebron, tvrde gradove u Judinu i Benjaminovu plemenu.
And Zorah, and Aialon, and Hebron, which were in Iudah and Beniamin, strong cities.
11 Utvrdivši gradove, postavi im zapovjednike i dovuče zalihe hrane, ulja i vina;
And he repaired the strong holdes and put captaines in them, and store of vitaile, and oyle and wine.
12 u svaki pojedini grad stavi štitova i kopalja i utvrdi ih vrlo jako. Tako je on imao Judino i Benjaminovo pleme.
And in all cities he put shieldes and speares, and made them exceeding strong: so Iudah and Beniamin were his.
13 Svećenici i leviti, koji su bili po svem Izraelu, pristupiše k njemu iz svih krajeva.
And the Priests and the Leuites that were in all Israel, resorted vnto him out of all their coastes.
14 Leviti ostaviše pašnjake i posjed te otiđoše u Judeju i Jeruzalem, jer ih je bio odbacio Jeroboam i njegovi sinovi da ne obavljaju svećeničku službu Jahvi,
For the Leuites left their suburbes and their possession, and came to Iudah and to Ierusalem: for Ieroboam and his sonnes had cast them out from ministring in the Priestes office vnto the Lord.
15 a postavio je svećenike za uzvišice, za jarce i za telad koju je napravio.
And he ordeyned him Priests for the hie places, and for the deuils and for the calues which he had made.
16 Za njima su iz svih izraelskih plemena dolazili u Jeruzalem da žrtvuju Jahvi, Bogu svojih otaca, oni koji su srcem tražili Jahvu, Boga Izraelova.
And after the Leuites there came to Ierusalem of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heartes to seeke the Lord God of Israel, to offer vnto the Lord God of their fathers.
17 Tako su utvrdili judejsko kraljevstvo i osokolili Salomonova sina Roboama za tri godine, jer su tri godine živjeli poput Davida i Salomona.
So they strengthened the kingdome of Iudah, and made Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon mightie, three yeere long: for three yeere they walked in in the way of Dauid and Salomon.
18 Roboam je sebi uzeo za žemu Mahalatu, kćer Davidova sina Jerimota, i Abihajilu, kćer Jišajeva sina Eliaba,
And Rehoboam tooke him Mahalath ye daughter of Ierimoth the sonne of Dauid to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the sonne of Ishai,
19 koja mu rodi sinove: Jeuša, Šemarju i Zahama.
Which bare him sonnes Ieush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 A poslije nje oženio se Abšalomovom kćerju Maakom, koja mu rodi Abiju, Etaja, Zizu i Šelomita.
And after her he tooke Maakah ye daughter of Absalom which bare him Abiiah, and Atthai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Roboam je ljubio Abšalomovu kćer Maaku više od svih svojih žena i inoča, iako je uzeo osamnaest žena i šezdeset inoča i rodio dvadeset i osam sinova i šezdeset kćeri.
And Rehoboam loued Maakah ye daughter of Absalom aboue all his wiues and his concubines: for he tooke eighteene wiues, and three score concubines, and begate eyght and twentie sonnes, and three score daughters.
22 I Roboam postavi Maakina sina Abiju za poglavara i kneza nad njegovom braćom, jer ga je naumio postaviti za kralja.
And Rehoboam made Abiiah the sonne of Maakah the chiefe ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him King.
23 I, mudro radeći, razmjesti sinove po svim judejskim i Benjaminovim krajevima, po svim tvrdim gradovima, davši im hrane izobila i poženivši ih sa mnogo žena.
And he taught him: and dispersed all his sonnes throughout all the countreis of Iudah and Beniamin vnto euery strong citie: and hee gaue them aboundance of vitaile, and desired many wiues.
