2 Chronicles 11
1 And he came Rehoboam Jerusalem and he called together [the] house of Judah and Benjamin one hundred and eighty thousand chosen [man] maker[s] of war to do battle with Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
Da Rehabeam var kommet til Jerusalem, samlede han hele Judas og Benjamins Hus, 180.000 udsøgte Folk, øvede Krigere, til at føre Krig med Israel og vinde Kongedømmet tilbage til Rehabeam.
2 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Shemaiah [the] man of God saying.
Men da kom HERRENs Ord til den Guds Mand Sjemaja således:
3 Say to Rehoboam [the] son of Solomon [the] king of Judah and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin saying.
"Sig til Judas Konge Rehabeam, Salomos Søn, og til hele Israel i Juda og Benjamin:
4 Thus he says Yahweh not you must go up and not you must do battle with countrymen your return everyone to own house his for from with me it has occurred the thing this and they obeyed [the] words of Yahweh and they turned back from going against Jeroboam.
Så siger HERREN: I må ikke drage op og kæmpe med eders Brødre; vend hjem hver til sit, thi hvad her er sket, har jeg tilskikket!" Da adlød de HERRENs Ord og vendte tilbage og drog ikke mod Jeroboam.
5 And he dwelt Rehoboam in Jerusalem and he built cities to fortification in Judah.
Rehabeam boede så i Jerusalem, og han befæstede flere Byer i Juda.
6 And he built Beth-lehem and Etam and Tekoa.
Således befæstede han Betlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 And Beth Zur and Socoh and Adullam.
Bet-Zur, Soko, Adullam,
8 And Gath and Mareshah and Ziph.
Gat, Maresj a, Zif,
9 And Adoraim and Lachish and Azekah.
Adorajim, Lakisj, Azeka,
10 And Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron which [were] in Judah and in Benjamin cities of fortifications.
Zor'a, Ajjalon og Hebron, alle i Juda og Benjamin;
11 And he strengthened the fortifications and he put in them commanders and supplies of food and oil and wine.
og han gjorde Fæstningerne stærke, indsatte Befalingsmænd i dem og forsynede dem med Forråd af Levnedsmidler, Olie og Vin
12 And [were] in every city and a city body shields and spears and he made strong them to abundance exceedingly and it belonged to him Judah and Benjamin.
og hver enkelt By med Skjolde og Spyd og gjorde dem således meget stærke. Ham tilhørte Juda og Benjamin.
13 And the priests and the Levites who [were] in all Israel they took their stand at him from all territory their.
Præsterne og Leviterne i hele Israel kom alle Vegne fra, hvor de boede, og stillede sig til hans Tjeneste;
14 For they forsook the Levites pasture lands their and property their and they went to Judah and to Jerusalem for he had rejected them Jeroboam and sons his from serving as priests to Yahweh.
thi Leviterne forlod deres Græsmarker og Ejendom og begav sig til Juda og Jerusalem, fordi Jeroboam og hans Sønner afsatte dem fra Stillingen som HERRENs Præster,
15 And he appointed for himself priests for the high places and for the goats and for the calves which he had made.
idet han indsatte sig Præster for Offerhøjene og Bukketroldene og Tyrekalvene, som han, havde ladet lave.
16 And after them from all [the] tribes of Israel those [who] set heart their to seek Yahweh [the] God of Israel they came Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their.
Og i Følge med Leviterne kom fra alle Israels Stammer de, hvis Hjerte var vendt til at søge HERREN, Israels Gud, til Jerusalem for at ofre til HERREN, deres Fædres Gud;
17 And they strengthened [the] kingdom of Judah and they strengthened Rehoboam [the] son of Solomon for years three for they walked in [the] way of David and Solomon for years three.
og de styrkede Juda Rige og hævdede Rehabeams, Salomos Søns, Magt i et Tidsrum af tre År. Thi i tre År fulgte han Davids og Salomos Veje.
18 And he took for himself Rehoboam a wife Mahalath ([the] daughter of *Q(K)*) Jerimoth [the] son of David Abihail [the] daughter of Eliab [the] son of Jesse.
Rehabeam ægtede Mahalat; en Datter af Davids Søn Jerimot og Abihajil, en Datter af Eliab, Isajs Søn.
19 And she bore to him sons Jeush and Shemariah and Zaham.
Hun fødte ham Sønnerne Je'usj, Sjemarja og Zaham.
20 And after her he took Maacah [the] daughter of Absalom and she bore to him Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith.
Senere ægtede han Absaloms Datter Ma'aka, som fødte ham Abija, Attaj, Ziza og Sjelomit.
21 And he loved Rehoboam Maacah [the] daughter of Absalom more than all wives his and concubines his for wives eight-teen he had taken and concubines sixty and he fathered twenty and eight sons and sixty daughters.
Rehabeam elskede Absaloms Datter Ma'aka højere end sine andre Hustruer og Medhustruer; han havde nemlig atten Hustruer og tresindstyve Medhustruer og avlede otte og tyve Sønner og tresindstyve Døtre.
22 And he appointed to the chief Rehoboam Abijah [the] son of Maacah to leader among brothers his for to make king him.
Og Rehabeam satte Ma'akas Søn Abija til Overhoved, til Fyrste blandt hans Brødre; thi han havde i Sinde at gøre, ham til Konge;
23 And he acted wisely and he distributed some of all sons his to all [the] lands of Judah and Benjamin to all [the] cities of fortifications and he gave to them food to abundance and he sought a multitude of wives.
og han fordelte klogelig alle sine Sønner rundt i alle Judas og Benjamins Landsdele og i alle de befæstede Byer og gav dem rigeligt Underhold og skaffede dem Hustruer.
