Rehobo '
am dwelt in Jerusalem ,
and he built cities for defense in Judah .
*
He built Bethlehem ,
Etam ,
Teko '
a ,
*
Beth-zur ,
Soco ,
Adullam ,

Gath ,
Mare '

Lachish ,
Aze '
kah ,
*
Zorah ,
Ai '
jalon ,
and Hebron ,
fortified cities which are in Judah and in Benjamin .
*
He made the fortresses strong ,
and put commanders in them ,
and stores of food ,
oil ,
and wine .
*
And he put shields and spears in all the cities ,
and made them very strong .
So he held Judah and Benjamin .
*
And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him from all places where they lived .
*
For the Levites left their common lands and their holdings and came to Judah and Jerusalem ,
because Jerobo '
am and his sons cast them out from serving as priests of the LORD ,
*
and he appointed his own priests for the high places ,
and for the satyrs ,
and for the calves which he had made .
*
And those who had set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came after them from all the tribes of Israel to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD ,
the God of their fathers .
*
They strengthened the kingdom of Judah ,
and for three years they made Rehobo '
am the son of Solomon secure ,
for they walked for three years in the way of David and Solomon .
