jub - 2Chronicles:10-11

jub@2Chronicles:10:1 @ And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come together in Shechem to make him king.

jub@2Chronicles:10:2 @ And when Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, heard [it], who [was] in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of Solomon, the king, Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.

jub@2Chronicles:10:3 @ And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

jub@2Chronicles:10:4 @ Thy father made our yoke grievous; now, therefore, ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.

jub@2Chronicles:10:5 @ And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.

jub@2Chronicles:10:6 @ Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon, his father, while he yet lived, saying, What do you counsel to reply to this people?

jub@2Chronicles:10:7 @ And they spoke unto him, saying, If thou wilt seek the good of this people and please them and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.

jub@2Chronicles:10:8 @ But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.

jub@2Chronicles:10:9 @ And he said unto them, What do you counsel us to reply to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?

jub@2Chronicles:10:10 @ Then the young men that were brought up with him spoke unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spoke unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little [finger] is thicker than my father's loins.

jub@2Chronicles:10:11 @ For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.

jub@2Chronicles:10:12 @ So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had commanded, saying, Come again to me on the third day.

jub@2Chronicles:10:13 @ And the king answered them roughly, [for] King Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men

jub@2Chronicles:10:14 @ and answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.

jub@2Chronicles:10:15 @ So the king did not hearken unto the people, for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite, unto Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

jub@2Chronicles:10:16 @ And when all Israel [saw] that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David or inheritance in the son of Jesse? Every man to your tents, O Israel! Now, David, see to thine own house! So all Israel went to their tents.

jub@2Chronicles:10:17 @ But Rehoboam reigned over the sons of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah.

jub@2Chronicles:10:18 @ Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who [was] over the tribute and the sons of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. So King Rehoboam made speed to get into a chariot and fled to Jerusalem.

jub@2Chronicles:10:19 @ Thus Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.:

jub@2Chronicles:11:1 @ And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin one hundred and eighty thousand chosen [men], who were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.

jub@2Chronicles:11:2 @ But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying,

jub@2Chronicles:11:3 @ Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

jub@2Chronicles:11:4 @ Thus hath the LORD said, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren; return each man to his house; for this thing is done of me. And they heard the word of the LORD and returned and did not go against Jeroboam.

jub@2Chronicles:11:5 @ And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem and built cities for defence in Judah.

jub@2Chronicles:11:6 @ He built Bethlehem and Etam and Tekoa

jub@2Chronicles:11:7 @ and Bethzur and Shoco and Adullam

jub@2Chronicles:11:8 @ and Gath and Mareshah and Ziph

jub@2Chronicles:11:9 @ and Adoraim and Lachish and Azekah

jub@2Chronicles:11:10 @ and Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron which [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, fenced cities.

jub@2Chronicles:11:11 @ And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them and provisions and wine and oil;

jub@2Chronicles:11:12 @ and in all the cities [he put] shields and spears. He fortified them greatly, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.

jub@2Chronicles:11:13 @ And the priests and the Levites that [were] in all Israel gathered unto him out of all their borders.

jub@2Chronicles:11:14 @ For the Levites left their suburbs and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD.

jub@2Chronicles:11:15 @ And he ordained himself priests for the high places and for the demons and for the calves which he had made.

jub@2Chronicles:11:16 @ And from 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.

jub@2Chronicles:11:17 @ So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, strong for three years because they walked three years in the way of David and of Solomon.

jub@2Chronicles:11:18 @ And Rehoboam took Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David, to wife, [and] Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse;

jub@2Chronicles:11:19 @ who bore him sons: Jeush and Shamariah and Zaham.

jub@2Chronicles:11:20 @ And after her he took Maachah, the daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith.

jub@2Chronicles:11:21 @ But Rehoboam loved Maachah, the daughter of Absalom, above all his wives and his concubines (for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines and begat twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)

jub@2Chronicles:11:22 @ And Rehoboam made Abijah, the son of Maachah, as head and prince among his brethren, for [he thought] to make him king.

jub@2Chronicles:11:23 @ And he caused him to be instructed and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city; and he gave them provisions in abundance. And he desired many wives.:

jub@2Chronicles:12:1 @ And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had confirmed the kingdom and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.
