耶和華禁止他們交戰(A)

11 羅波安回到耶路撒冷，就召集猶大家和便雅憫家，共十八萬人，都是精兵，要和以色列人交戰，好把王國奪回，再歸自己。 2 但耶和華的話臨到神人示瑪雅，說： 3 “你要告訴所羅門的兒子、猶大王羅波安，以及所有住在猶大和便雅憫的以色列人，說： 4 ‘耶和華這樣說：你們不可上去，也不可和你們的兄弟交戰。你們各自回家去吧，因為這事是出於我。’”於是他們聽從耶和華的話，都回家，不去攻打耶羅波安。

羅波安的建樹

5 羅波安住在耶路撒冷，他在猶大建造了多座設防城。 6 他修築了伯利恆、以坦、提哥亞、 7 伯．夙、梭哥、亞杜蘭、 8 迦特、瑪利沙、西弗、 9 亞多萊音、拉吉、亞西加、 10 瑣拉、亞雅崙、希伯崙；這些都是猶大和便雅憫境內的設防城。 11 他又鞏固這些設防城，在城裡設軍長，貯備糧食、油和酒。 12 又在各城裝備了大盾牌和矛槍，使這些城市十分堅固。這樣，猶大和便雅憫都在他統治之下。

祭司與利未人都來歸羅波安

13 全以色列的祭司和利未人，都從各地來歸向羅波安。 14 利未人放棄了他們的草場和產業，來到猶大和耶路撒冷，是因為耶羅波安和他的兒子排斥他們，不准他們作祭司事奉耶和華。 15 耶羅波安為邱壇、公山羊神，以及他鑄造的牛犢，自己設立了祭司。 16 以色列眾支派中所有定意尋求耶和華以色列的　神的，都隨著利未人來到耶路撒冷，向耶和華他們列祖的　神獻祭。 17 這樣，他們就加強了猶大國的勢力，使所羅門的兒子羅波安強盛了三年，因為他們在這三年，跟隨了大衛和所羅門的道路。

羅波安的家室

18 羅波安娶了大衛的兒子耶利摩的女兒瑪哈拉作妻子，她也就是耶西的兒子以利押的女兒亞比孩的女兒； 19 她給羅波安生了幾個兒子，就是耶烏施、示瑪利雅和撒罕。 20 後來，羅波安又娶了押沙龍的外孫女瑪迦；瑪迦給他生了亞比雅、亞太、細撒和示羅密。 21 羅波安共娶了十八個妻子和六十個妾；共生了二十八個兒子，六十個女兒；他卻愛押沙龍的外孫女瑪迦，勝過其他的妻妾。 22 於是羅波安立了瑪迦的兒子亞比雅作太子，在他的兄弟中為首，因為羅波安想立他繼承王位。 23 羅波安很有智慧地把自己的兒子分散在猶大和便雅憫各地的設防城中，供給他們大批糧食，又為他們娶了多位妻子。

耶和華禁止他們交戰

11 羅波安回到耶路撒冷，從猶大和便雅憫支派召集了十八萬精兵，要攻打以色列，收復全國。 2 然而，耶和華上帝對祂的僕人示瑪雅說： 3 「你去告訴所羅門的兒子猶大王羅波安和所有住在猶大和便雅憫的以色列人， 4 耶和華這樣說，『你們不要上去與弟兄交戰，都回家吧，因為這事出於我。』」眾人聽從了耶和華的話，沒有去攻打耶羅波安，各自回家去了。

羅波安加強防禦

5 羅波安住在耶路撒冷，他在猶大修築城池以作防禦。 6 他修築的城池有伯利恆、以坦、提哥亞、 7 伯·夙、梭哥、亞杜蘭、 8 迦特、瑪利沙、西弗、 9 亞多萊音、拉吉、亞西加、 10 瑣拉、亞雅崙、希伯崙，這些都是猶大和便雅憫的堅城。 11 他又在各城池加強防禦，派將領駐守，供給食物、油和酒。 12 他在城內儲備盾牌和矛槍，使城池非常堅固。猶大和便雅憫都歸屬他。

祭司和利未人投奔猶大

13 以色列全境的祭司和利未人都從四面八方來投奔羅波安。 14 利未人撇下他們的草場和產業，來到猶大和耶路撒冷，因為耶羅波安和他的眾子不准他們做祭司事奉耶和華。 15 耶羅波安卻為邱壇、公山羊像和他造的牛犢像設立他自己的祭司。 16 以色列各支派中那些誠心尋求以色列的上帝耶和華的人，都跟隨利未人到耶路撒冷獻祭給他們祖先的上帝耶和華。 17 他們使猶大國堅固，他們效忠所羅門的兒子羅波安三年之久，並在此期間遵行大衛和所羅門的道。

羅波安的家室

18 羅波安娶了大衛的兒子耶利摩的女兒瑪哈拉為妻，她母親亞比孩是耶西的兒子以利押的女兒。 19 瑪哈拉為他生了耶烏施、示瑪利雅、撒罕三個兒子。 20 後來，他又娶了押沙龍的女兒瑪迦[a]，生了亞比雅、亞太、細撒、示羅密。 21 羅波安共有十八個妻子、六十個妾、二十八個兒子、六十個女兒。眾妻妾中瑪迦最得寵愛， 22 羅波安就立她所生的兒子亞比雅為太子，以便讓他繼承王位。 23 羅波安精明地把其他王子派駐到猶大和便雅憫境內的各堅城，給他們充足的供應和許多妻妾。

2 Chronicles 11
New English Translation

11 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he summoned 180,000 skilled warriors from Judah and Benjamin[a] to attack Israel and restore the kingdom to Rehoboam. 2 But the Lord’s message came to the prophet[b] Shemaiah, 3 “Say this to King Rehoboam son of Solomon of Judah and to all the Israelites in Judah and Benjamin, 4 ‘The Lord says this: “Do not attack and make war with your brothers. Each of you go home, for I have caused this to happen.”’”[c] They obeyed the Lord and called off the attack against Jeroboam.[d]

Rehoboam’s Reign

5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem; he built up these fortified cities throughout Judah: 6 Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, 7 Beth Zur, Soco, Adullam, 8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, 9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, 10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron. These were the fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin. 11 He fortified these cities and placed officers in them, as well as storehouses of food, olive oil, and wine. 12 In each city there were shields and spears; he strongly fortified them.[e] Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.

13 The priests and Levites who lived throughout Israel supported him, no matter where they resided.[f] 14 The Levites even left their pasturelands and their property behind and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons prohibited them from serving as the Lord’s priests. 15 Jeroboam[g] appointed his own priests to serve at the worship centers[h] and to lead in the worship of the goat idols and calf idols he had made.[i] 16 Those among all the Israelite tribes who were determined to worship the Lord God of Israel followed them to Jerusalem[j] to sacrifice to the Lord God of their ancestors.[k] 17 They supported[l] the kingdom of Judah and were loyal to[m] Rehoboam son of Solomon for three years; they followed the edicts of[n] David and Solomon for three years.

18 Rehoboam married[o] Mahalath the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth and of[p] Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab. 19 She bore him sons named Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham. 20 He later married Maacah the daughter of Absalom. She bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith. 21 Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absalom more than his other wives and concubines.[q] He had eighteen wives and sixty concubines; he fathered twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.

22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as the leader over his brothers, for he intended to name him his successor.[r] 23 He wisely placed some of his many sons throughout the regions of Judah and Benjamin in the various fortified cities.[s] He supplied them with abundant provisions and acquired many wives for them.[t]

The children of a concubine could, in some instances, become equal heirs with the children of the free wife.

2 Chronicles 11
New International Version

11 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem,(A) he mustered Judah and Benjamin—a hundred and eighty thousand able young men—to go to war against Israel and to regain the kingdom for Rehoboam.

2 But this word of the Lord came to Shemaiah(B) the man of God: 3 “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, 4 ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not go up to fight against your fellow Israelites.(C) Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.’” So they obeyed the words of the Lord and turned back from marching against Jeroboam.

Rehoboam Fortifies Judah

5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built up towns for defense in Judah: 6 Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, 7 Beth Zur, Soko, Adullam, 8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, 9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, 10 Zorah, Aijalon and Hebron. These were fortified cities(D) in Judah and Benjamin. 11 He strengthened their defenses and put commanders in them, with supplies of food, olive oil and wine. 12 He put shields and spears in all the cities, and made them very strong. So Judah and Benjamin were his.

13 The priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel sided with him. 14 The Levites(E) even abandoned their pasturelands and property(F) and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the Lord 15 when he appointed(G) his own priests(H) for the high places and for the goat(I) and calf(J) idols he had made. 16 Those from every tribe of Israel(K) who set their hearts on seeking the Lord, the God of Israel, followed the Levites to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 17 They strengthened(L) the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon three years, following the ways of David and Solomon during this time.

Rehoboam’s Family

18 Rehoboam married Mahalath, who was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth and of Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab. 19 She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah and Zaham. 20 Then he married Maakah(M) daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abijah,(N) Attai, Ziza and Shelomith. 21 Rehoboam loved Maakah daughter of Absalom more than any of his other wives and concubines. In all, he had eighteen wives(O) and sixty concubines, twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.

22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah(P) son of Maakah as crown prince among his brothers, in order to make him king. 23 He acted wisely, dispersing some of his sons throughout the districts of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the fortified cities. He gave them abundant provisions(Q) and took many wives for them.
