2 Crónicas 11
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
11 Roboán llegó a Jerusalén y movilizó a las familias de Judá y de Benjamín, ciento ochenta mil guerreros selectos en total, para hacer la guerra contra Israel y así recuperar el reino. 2 Pero la palabra del Señor vino a Semaías, hombre de Dios, y le dio este mensaje: 3 «Diles a Roboán hijo de Salomón, rey de Judá, y a todos los israelitas que están en Judá y en Benjamín, 4 que así dice el Señor: “No vayáis a luchar contra vuestros hermanos. Regrese cada uno a su casa, porque es mi voluntad que esto haya sucedido”». Y ellos obedecieron las palabras del Señor y desistieron de marchar contra Jeroboán.
Roboán fortifica las ciudades de Judá
5 Roboán se estableció en Jerusalén y fortificó las siguientes ciudades de Judá: 6 Belén, Etam, Tecoa, 7 Betsur, Soco, Adulán, 8 Gat, Maresá, Zif, 9 Adorayin, Laquis, Azeca, 10 Zora, Ayalón y Hebrón. Estas ciudades fueron fortificadas en Judá y en Benjamín. 11 Roboán nombró gobernantes, reforzó las fortificaciones, almacenó en ellas víveres, aceite y vino, 12 y las armó a todas con escudos y lanzas. Así fortificó completamente todas las ciudades y quedó en posesión de Judá y de Benjamín.
Los sacerdotes y los levitas apoyan a Roboán
13 De todas las regiones de Israel llegaron sacerdotes y levitas para unirse a Roboán. 14 Los levitas abandonaron sus campos de pastoreo y demás posesiones para irse a Judá y a Jerusalén, ya que Jeroboán y sus hijos les habían impedido ejercer el sacerdocio del Señor. 15 En su lugar, Jeroboán había nombrado sacerdotes para los santuarios paganos y para el culto a los machos cabríos y a los becerros que había mandado hacer. 16 Tras los levitas se fue gente de todas las tribus de Israel que con todo el corazón buscaba al Señor, Dios de Israel. Llegaron a Jerusalén para ofrecer sacrificios al Señor, Dios de sus antepasados. 17 Así consolidaron el reino de Judá, y durante tres años apoyaron a Roboán hijo de Salomón y siguieron el buen ejemplo de David y Salomón.
Esposas e hijos de Roboán
18 Roboán se casó con Majalat hija de Jerimot, el hijo de David y de Abijaíl, hija de Eliab y nieta de Isaí. 19 Los hijos que ella le dio fueron Jeús, Semarías y Zaján. 20 Después se casó con Macá hija de Absalón. Los hijos que ella le dio fueron Abías, Atay, Ziza y Selomit. 21 Roboán amó a Macá hija de Absalón más que a sus otras esposas y concubinas. En total, tuvo dieciocho esposas y sesenta concubinas, y fue padre de veintiocho hijos y de sesenta hijas.
22 Roboán puso como príncipe heredero entre sus hermanos a Abías hijo de Macá, pues tenía la intención de hacerlo rey. 23 Y actuó con astucia, pues a sus otros hijos les dio víveres en abundancia, les consiguió muchas esposas y los dispersó por todo el territorio de Judá y de Benjamín y por todas las ciudades fortificadas.
2 Chronicles 11
Authorized (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 Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, 7 and Beth-zur, 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.
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.
