11 On reaching Jerusalem, Rehoboam mustered the men of Benjamin and Judah, a hundred and eighty thousand picked men-at-arms, to attack Israel and recover the kingdom for Rehoboam. 2 But this message came from the Eternal to Shemaiah, a man of God: 3 “Give this message from the Eternal to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the Israelites in Judah and Benjamin: 4 ‘You are not to march or fight against your fellows. Back home, every man of you! What has happened, I have caused to happen.’ ” They listened to what the Eternal said, and gave up their march against Jeroboam.
5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem. He built towns of defence throughout Judah, fortifying 6 Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, 7 Bethzur, Soko, Adullam, 8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, 9 Adoraim, Lakhish, Azekah, 10 and Zorah, with Aijalon and Hebron (which belong to Judah and Benjamin). 11 He strengthened these fortresses, putting commanders in them, with stores of provisions, oil and wine; 12 and in each town he stored shields and spears. He made them very strong, so that he held Judah and Benjamin.
13 The priests and the Levites all over Israel went over to him 14 from every quarter; the Levites left their open lands and settlements, flocking into Judah and Jerusalem (since Jeroboam and his successors had deposed them from officiating as priests to the Eternal, 15 and had appointed priests for the high places and the satyrs and the calves which Jeroboam had made). 16 They were followed, from all the clans of Israel, by those who had made up their minds to worship the Eternal the God of Israel, and who came to Jerusalem in order to sacrifice to the Eternal the God of their fathers. 17 These proved a strength to the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehohoam son of Solomon powerful for three years, as they lived by the traditions of David and Solomon for three years.
18 Rehoboam married Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth, a son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab, a son of Jesse; 19 she bore him three sons, Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham. 20 After her he married Maakah, a granddaughter of Absalom, who bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith. 21 Of all his wives and mistresses (for he had eighteen wives and sixty mistresses, who bore him twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters), Rehoboam loved Maakah the granddaughter of Absalom best; 22 he made her son Abijah the crown prince, over his brothers, intending to make him king, 23 and he was wise enough to distribute his other sons all over the country of Judah and Benjamin, placing them in all the fortified towns, giving them plenty of provisions, and arranging many marriages for them.
