*
So Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem ,
and built cities for defense in Judah .
*
And he built Bethlehem ,
Etam ,
Tekoa ,
*
Beth Zur ,
Sochoh ,
Adullam ,
*
Gath ,
Mareshah ,
Ziph ,
*
Adoraim ,
Lachish ,
Azekah ,
*
Zorah ,
Aijalon ,
and Hebron ,
which are in Judah and Benjamin ,
fortified cities .
*
And he fortified the strongholds ,
and put captains in them ,
and stores of food ,
oil ,
and wine .
*
Also in every city he put shields and spears ,
and made them very strong ,
having Judah and Benjamin on his side .
*
And from all their territories the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel took their stand with him .
*
For the Levites left their common-lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem ,
for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to the LORD .
*
Then he appointed for himself priests for the high places ,
for the demons ,
and the calf idols which he had made .
*
And after the Levites left ,
those from all the tribes of Israel ,
such as set their heart to seek the LORD God of Israel ,
came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers .
*
So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah ,
and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years ,
because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years .
