*
And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem ,
and built cities for defense in Judah .
*
He built Beth-lehem ,
and Etam ,
and Tekoa ,
*
And Beth-zur ,
and Soco ,
and Adullam ,
*
and Gath ,
and Mareshah ,
and Ziph ,
*
and Adoraim ,
and Lachish ,
and Azekah ,
*
and Zorah ,
and Aijalon ,
and Hebron ,
which are in Judah and in Benjamin ,
fortified cities .
*
And he fortified the strongholds ,
and put leaders in them ,
and stores of victuals ,
and oil and wine .
*
And in every city [
he put ]
shields and spears ,
and made them exceedingly strong .
And Judah and Benjamin belonged to him .
*
And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border .
*
For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession ,
and came to Judah and Jerusalem :
for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off ,
that they should not execute the priest '
s office to Yahweh ;
*
and he appointed for himself priests for the high places ,
and for the he-goats ,
and for the calves which he had made .
*
And after them ,
out of all the tribes of Israel ,
such as set their hearts to seek Yahweh ,
the God of Israel ,
came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh ,
the God of their fathers .
*
So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah ,
and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong ,
three years ;
for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon .
