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。

耶和华禁止他们交战(A)
11 罗波安回到耶路撒冷,就召集犹大家和便雅悯家,共十八万人,都是精兵,要和以色列人交战,好把王国夺回,再归自己。 2 但耶和华的话临到神人示玛雅,说: 3 “你要告诉所罗门的儿子、犹大王罗波安,以及所有住在犹大和便雅悯的以色列人,说: 4 ‘耶和华这样说:你们不可上去,也不可和你们的兄弟交战。你们各自回家去吧,因为这事是出于我。’”于是他们听从耶和华的话,都回家,不去攻打耶罗波安。
罗波安的建树
5 罗波安住在耶路撒冷,他在犹大建造了多座设防城。 6 他修筑了伯利恒、以坦、提哥亚、 7 伯.夙、梭哥、亚杜兰、 8 迦特、玛利沙、西弗、 9 亚多莱音、拉吉、亚西加、 10 琐拉、亚雅仑、希伯仑;这些都是犹大和便雅悯境内的设防城。 11 他又巩固这些设防城,在城里设军长,贮备粮食、油和酒。 12 又在各城装备了大盾牌和矛枪,使这些城市十分坚固。这样,犹大和便雅悯都在他统治之下。
祭司与利未人都来归罗波安
13 全以色列的祭司和利未人,都从各地来归向罗波安。 14 利未人放弃了他们的草场和产业,来到犹大和耶路撒冷,是因为耶罗波安和他的儿子排斥他们,不准他们作祭司事奉耶和华。 15 耶罗波安为邱坛、公山羊神,以及他铸造的牛犊,自己设立了祭司。 16 以色列众支派中所有定意寻求耶和华以色列的 神的,都随着利未人来到耶路撒冷,向耶和华他们列祖的 神献祭。 17 这样,他们就加强了犹大国的势力,使所罗门的儿子罗波安强盛了三年,因为他们在这三年,跟随了大卫和所罗门的道路。
罗波安的家室
18 罗波安娶了大卫的儿子耶利摩的女儿玛哈拉作妻子,她也就是耶西的儿子以利押的女儿亚比孩的女儿; 19 她给罗波安生了几个儿子,就是耶乌施、示玛利雅和撒罕。 20 后来,罗波安又娶了押沙龙的外孙女玛迦;玛迦给他生了亚比雅、亚太、细撒和示罗密。 21 罗波安共娶了十八个妻子和六十个妾;共生了二十八个儿子,六十个女儿;他却爱押沙龙的外孙女玛迦,胜过其他的妻妾。 22 于是罗波安立了玛迦的儿子亚比雅作太子,在他的兄弟中为首,因为罗波安想立他继承王位。 23 罗波安很有智慧地把自己的儿子分散在犹大和便雅悯各地的设防城中,供给他们大批粮食,又为他们娶了多位妻子。
2 Chronicles 11
King James Version
11 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
12 And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the Lord:
15 And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16 And 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.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
18 And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19 Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
