절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Shemaiah the Prophet Warns Rehoboam After Rehoboam returned to Jerusalem, he decided to attack Israel and regain control of the whole country. So he called together 180,000 soldiers from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.	And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2	Meanwhile, the Lord had told Shemaiah the prophet	But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3	to tell Rehoboam and everyone from Judah and Benjamin,	Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4	“The Lord warns you not to go to war against the people from the northern tribes—they are your relatives. Go home! The Lord is the one who made these things happen.” Rehoboam and his army obeyed the Lord's message and did not attack Jeroboam and his troops.	Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5	Rehoboam Fortifies Cities in Judah Rehoboam ruled from Jerusalem, and he had several cities in Judah turned into fortresses so he could use them to defend his country. These cities included	And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
6	Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,	He built even Beth–lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7	Beth-Zur, Soco, Adullam,	And Beth–zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
8	Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,	And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9	Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,	And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10	Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron. After he had fortified these cities in the territories of Judah and Benjamin,	And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
11	he assigned an army commander to each of them and stocked them with supplies of food, olive oil, and wine,	And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
12	as well as with shields and spears. He used these fortified cities to keep control of Judah and Benjamin.	And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
13	The Priests and the Levites Support Rehoboam The priests and Levites from the northern tribes of Israel gave their support to King Rehoboam.	And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
14	And since Jeroboam and the kings of Israel that followed him would not allow any Levites to serve as priests, most Levites left their towns and pasturelands in Israel and moved to Jerusalem and other towns in Judah.	For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest’s office unto the Lord:
15	Jeroboam chose his own priests to serve at the local shrines in Israel and at the places of worship where he had set up statues of goat-demons and of calves.	And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16	But some of the people from Israel wanted to worship the Lord God, just as their ancestors had done. So they followed the priests and Levites to Jerusalem, where they could offer sacrifices to the Lord.	And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord God of their fathers.
17	For the next three years, they lived in Judah and were loyal to Rehoboam and his kingdom, just as they had been loyal to David and Solomon.	So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
18	Rehoboam's Family Rehoboam married Mahalath, whose father was Jerimoth son of David, and whose mother was Abihail the daughter of Eliab and granddaughter of Jesse.	And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19	Rehoboam and Mahalath had three sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.	Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
20	Then Rehoboam married Maacah the daughter of Absalom. Their sons were Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.	And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21	Rehoboam had 18 wives, but he also married 60 other women, and he was the father of 28 sons and 60 daughters. Rehoboam loved his wife Maacah the most,	And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
22	so he chose their oldest son Abijah to be the next king.	And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
23	Rehoboam was wise enough to put one of his sons in charge of each fortified city in his kingdom. He gave them all the supplies they needed and found wives for every one of them.	And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
