2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
venit autem Roboam in Hierusalem et convocavit universam domum Iuda et Beniamin in centum octoginta milibus electorum atque bellantium ut dimicaret contra Israhel et converteret ad se regnum suum
2 But the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
factusque est sermo Domini ad Semeiam hominem Dei dicens
3 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
loquere ad Roboam filium Salomonis regem Iuda et ad universum Israhel qui est in Iuda et Beniamin
4 Thus says Jehovah, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers. Return every man to his house. For this thing is of me. So they hearkened to the words of Jehovah, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
haec 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 Hieroboam
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
habitavit autem Roboam in Hierusalem et aedificavit civitates muratas in Iuda
6 He built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
extruxitque Bethleem et Aetham et Thecue
7 And Beth-zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
Bethsur quoque et Soccho et Odollam
8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
necnon Geth et Maresa et Ziph
9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
sed et Aduram et Lachis et Azecha
10 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
Saraa quoque et Ahilon et Hebron quae erant in Iuda et Beniamin civitates munitissimas
11 And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of victuals, and oil and wine.
cumque clausisset eas muris posuit in eis principes ciborumque horrea hoc est olei et vini
12 And in every city he put shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong. And Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
sed et in singulis urbibus fecit armamentaria scutorum et hastarum firmavitque eas multa diligentia et imperavit super Iudam et Beniamin
13 And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border.
sacerdotes autem et Levitae qui erant in universo Israhel venerunt ad eum de cunctis sedibus suis
14 For the Levites left their suburbs 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 to Jehovah.
relinquentes suburbana et possessiones suas et transeuntes ad Iudam et Hierusalem eo quod abiecisset eos Hieroboam et posteri eius ne sacerdotio Domini fungerentur
15 And he appointed priests for him for the high places, and for the he-goats, and for the calves which he had made.
qui constituit sibi sacerdotes excelsorum et daemonum vitulorumque quos fecerat
16 And after them, such as set their hearts to seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem out of all the tribes of Israel to sacrifice to Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
sed et de cunctis tribubus Israhel quicumque dederant cor suum ut quaererent Dominum Deum Israhel venerunt Hierusalem ad immolandas victimas Domino Deo patrum suorum
17 So 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.
et roboraverunt regnum Iuda et confirmaverunt Roboam filium Salomonis per tres annos ambulaverunt enim in viis David et Salomonis annis tantum tribus
18 And 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.
duxit autem Roboam uxorem Maalath filiam Hierimuth filii David Abiail quoque filiam Heliab filii Isai
19 And she bore sons for him: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
quae peperit ei filios Ieus et Somoriam et Zoom
20 And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom. And she bore for him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
post hanc quoque accepit Maacha filiam Absalom quae peperit ei Abia et Ethai et Ziza et Salumith
21 And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines. For he took eighteen wives, and thirty concubines, and begot twenty-eight sons and thirty daughters.
amavit autem Roboam Maacha filiam Absalom super omnes uxores suas et concubinas nam uxores decem et octo duxerat concubinasque sexaginta et genuit viginti octo filios et sexaginta filias
22 And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the ruler among his brothers. For he intended to make him king.
constituit vero in capite Abiam filium Maacha ducem super fratres suos ipsum enim regem facere cogitabat
23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city. And he gave them provisions in abundance. And he sought for them many wives.
qui sapientior fuit et potentior super omnes filios eius et in cunctis finibus Iuda et Beniamin et in universis civitatibus muratis praebuitque eis escas plurimas et multas petivit uxores
