2 Crónicas 11
Traducción en lenguaje actual
11 Cuando Roboam llegó a Jerusalén, reunió a ciento ochenta mil soldados que eligió de entre todas las familias de Judá y de la tribu de Benjamín, para luchar contra las demás tribus y recuperar el poder sobre todo Israel. 2 Pero Dios habló con Semaías, un hombre que amaba y respetaba a Dios, y le dijo: 3 «Debes darle a Roboam, y a todos los de la tribu de Judá y de Benjamín, este mensaje: 4 “Dios no quiere que haya guerra contra las demás tribus de Israel, pues ellos son sus parientes. Vuelvan a sus casas, pues es una orden de Dios”».
Al escuchar este mensaje, todos regresaron a sus casas y no atacaron a Jeroboam.
Roboam protege sus ciudades
5-12 Roboam se quedó a vivir en Jerusalén, y logró mantener bajo su control las ciudades de las tribus de Judá y de Benjamín. Pudo hacerlo porque protegió y fortaleció algunas ciudades hasta el punto de convertirlas en fortalezas. Además de construir fuertes murallas alrededor de ellas, puso en cada ciudad a jefes del ejército, y los armó con escudos y lanzas. Además, almacenó en las ciudades suficiente comida, aceite y vino.
Éstas son las ciudades que reforzó:
Belén,
Etam,
Tecoa,
Bet-sur,
Socó,
Adulam,
Gat,
Maresá,
Zif,
Adoraim,
Laquis,
Azecá,
Sorá,
Aialón y
Hebrón.
Los sacerdotes y levitas se unen a Roboam
13-15 Jeroboam hizo altares para que la gente adorara a los ídolos y toros que él había fabricado. También nombró sus propios sacerdotes, y él y sus hijos expulsaron a los sacerdotes que servían a Dios. Por esa razón, los sacerdotes y levitas de todo Israel dejaron sus tierras y posesiones, y se unieron a Roboam. Se quedaron a vivir en Jerusalén y en el territorio de Judá.
16 Con ellos, llegaron a Jerusalén israelitas de todas las tribus. Era gente que con toda sinceridad quería adorar al Dios de Israel, el Dios de sus antepasados.
17 Durante tres años, toda esta gente le dio su apoyo a Roboam hijo de Salomón, y así fortalecieron el reino de Judá, siguiendo el buen ejemplo de David y Salomón.
La familia de Roboam
18 Roboam se casó con Mahalat, que era hija de Jerimot y Abihail. Jerimot era hijo de David, y Abihail era hija de Eliab y nieta de Jesé. 19 Roboam y Mahalat tuvieron tres hijos:
Jehús,
Semarías,
Záham.
20 Roboam también se casó con Maacá hija de Absalón, y tuvo cuatro hijos:
Abiam,
Atai,
Ziza,
Selomit.
21 Roboam tuvo dieciocho esposas y sesenta mujeres, con las cuales tuvo veintiocho hijos y sesenta hijas.
Como Roboam amaba a Maacá más que a todas sus mujeres, 22 y quería que su hijo Abiam fuera el rey, lo nombró jefe de todos sus hermanos. 23 Pero también fue astuto, y envió a sus demás hijos a vivir en diferentes partes del territorio de Judá y de Benjamín. Los nombró jefes de las ciudades que había transformado en fortalezas, y les dio provisiones en abundancia y muchas esposas.

2 Chronicles 11
American Standard Version
11 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam. 2 But the word of Jehovah 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 Jehovah, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they hearkened unto the words of Jehovah, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah. 6 He built Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, 7 And Beth-zur, and Soco, 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, fortified cities. 11 And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of victuals, and oil and wine. 12 And in every city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. And Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border. 14 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 unto Jehovah; 15 and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the he-goats, 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 Jehovah, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice unto Jehovah, the God of their fathers. 17 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.
18 And Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, [a]and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; 19 and she bare him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham. 20 And after her he took [b]Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. 21 And Rehoboam loved Maacah 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 appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, even the prince among his brethren; for he was minded to make him king. 23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fortified city: and he gave them victuals in abundance. And he [c]sought for them many wives.

Reina-Valera Antigua
11 Y COMO vino Roboam á Jerusalem, juntó la casa de Judá y de Benjamín, ciento y ochenta mil hombres escogidos de guerra, para pelear contra Israel y volver el reino á Roboam.
2 Mas fué palabra de Jehová á Semeías varón de Dios, diciendo:
3 Habla á Roboam hijo de Salomón, rey de Judá, y á todos los Israelitas en Judá y Benjamín, diciéndoles:
4 Así ha dicho Jehová: No subáis ni peleéis contra vuestros hermanos; vuélvase casa uno á su casa, porque yo he hecho este negocio. Y ellos oyeron la palabra de Jehová, y tornáronse, y no fueron contra Jeroboam.
5 Y habitó Roboam en Jerusalem, y edificó ciudades para fortificar á Judá.
6 Y edificó á Beth-lehem, y á Etham, y á Tecoa,
7 Y á Beth-sur, y á Sochô, y á Adullam,
8 Y á Gath, y á Maresa, y á Ziph,
9 Y á Adoraim, y á Lachîs, y á Acechâ,
10 Y á Sora, y á Ajalón, y á Hebrón, que eran en Judá y en Benjamín, ciudades fuertes.
11 Fortificó también las fortalezas, y puso en ellas capitanes, y vituallas, y vino, y aceite;
12 Y en todas las ciudades, escudos y lanzas. Fortificólas pues en gran manera, y Judá y Benjamín le estaban sujetos.
13 Y los sacerdotes y Levitas que estaban en todo Israel, se juntaron á él de todos sus términos.
14 Porque los Levitas dejaban sus ejidos y sus posesiones, y se venían á Judá y á Jerusalem: pues Jeroboam y sus hijos los echaban del ministerio de Jehová.
15 Y él se hizo sacerdotes para los altos, y para los demonios, y para los becerros que él había hecho.
16 Tras aquéllos acudieron también de todas las tribus de Israel los que habían puesto su corazón en buscar á Jehová Dios de Israel; y viniéronse á Jerusalem para sacrificar á Jehová, el Dios de sus padres.
17 Así fortificaron el reino de Judá, y confirmaron á Roboam hijo de Salomón, por tres años; porque tres años anduvieron en el camino de David y de Salomón.
18 Y tomóse Roboam por mujer á Mahalath, hija de Jerimoth hijo de David, y á Abihail, hija de Eliab hijo de Esaí.
19 La cual le parió hijos: á Jeus, y á Samaria, y á Zaham.
20 Después de ella tomó á Maachâ hija de Absalom, la cual le parió á Abías, á Athai, Ziza, y Selomith.
21 Mas Roboam amó á Maachâ hija de Absalom sobre todas sus mujeres y concubinas; porque tomó diez y ocho mujeres y sesenta concubinas, y engendró veintiocho hijos y sesenta hijas.
22 Y puso Roboam á Abías hijo de Maachâ por cabeza y príncipe de sus hermanos, porque quería hacerle rey.
23 E hízole instruir, y esparció todos sus hijos por todas las tierras de Judá y de Benjamín, y por todas las ciudades fuertes, y dióles vituallas en abundancia, y pidió muchas mujeres.
2 Chronicles 11
New International Version
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.

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.
