耶和华禁止他们交战

11 罗波安回到耶路撒冷，从犹大和便雅悯支派召集了十八万精兵，要攻打以色列，收复全国。 2 然而，耶和华上帝对祂的仆人示玛雅说： 3 “你去告诉所罗门的儿子犹大王罗波安和所有住在犹大和便雅悯的以色列人， 4 耶和华这样说，‘你们不要上去与弟兄交战，都回家吧，因为这事出于我。’”众人听从了耶和华的话，没有去攻打耶罗波安，各自回家去了。

罗波安加强防御

5 罗波安住在耶路撒冷，他在犹大修筑城池以作防御。 6 他修筑的城池有伯利恒、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的坚城。 11 他又在各城池加强防御，派将领驻守，供给食物、油和酒。 12 他在城内储备盾牌和矛枪，使城池非常坚固。犹大和便雅悯都归属他。

祭司和利未人投奔犹大

13 以色列全境的祭司和利未人都从四面八方来投奔罗波安。 14 利未人撇下他们的草场和产业，来到犹大和耶路撒冷，因为耶罗波安和他的众子不准他们做祭司事奉耶和华。 15 耶罗波安却为丘坛、公山羊像和他造的牛犊像设立他自己的祭司。 16 以色列各支派中那些诚心寻求以色列的上帝耶和华的人，都跟随利未人到耶路撒冷献祭给他们祖先的上帝耶和华。 17 他们使犹大国坚固，他们效忠所罗门的儿子罗波安三年之久，并在此期间遵行大卫和所罗门的道。

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为妻，她母亲亚比孩是耶西的儿子以利押的女儿。 19 玛哈拉为他生了耶乌施、示玛利雅、撒罕三个儿子。 20 后来，他又娶了押沙龙的女儿玛迦[a]，生了亚比雅、亚太、细撒、示罗密。 21 罗波安共有十八个妻子、六十个妾、二十八个儿子、六十个女儿。众妻妾中玛迦最得宠爱， 22 罗波安就立她所生的儿子亚比雅为太子，以便让他继承王位。 23 罗波安精明地把其他王子派驻到犹大和便雅悯境内的各坚城，给他们充足的供应和许多妻妾。

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
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.
