When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 Amma wannan maganar Ubangiji ta zo ga Shemahiya mutumin Allah.
But the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 “Faɗa wa Rehobowam ɗan Solomon sarkin Yahuda da kuma dukan Isra’ilawan da suke a Yahuda da Benyamin,
"Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce kada ku haura don ku yi yaƙi da’yan’uwanku. Ku tafi gida kowannenku, gama wannan yi na ne.’” Saboda haka suka yi biyayya ga maganar Ubangiji suka kuma koma daga takawa don yaƙi da Yerobowam.
'Thus says Jehovah, "You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers. Return every man to his house; for this thing is of me."'" So they listened to the word of Jehovah, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border.
14 Lawiyawa suka ma bar makiyayansu da mallakarsu, suka zo Yahuda da Urushalima domin Yerobowam da’ya’yansa maza sun ƙi su a matsayin firistocin Ubangiji.
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;
15 Yerobowam ya naɗa firistocinsa domin masujadan kan tudu da kuma domin gumakan nan na akuya da maraƙin da ya yi.
and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made.

After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, the God of their fathers.

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.

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;
19 Ta haifa masa’ya’ya maza. Yewush, Shemariya da Zaham.
and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.

Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his secondary wives: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty secondary wives, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)
22 Rehobowam ya naɗa Abiya ɗan Ma’aka yă zama babba yerima a cikin’yan’uwansa, don dai yă naɗa shi sarki.
Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.

He dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them food in abundance. He sought for them many wives.
