And Zorah
<06881>_,

and Aijalon
<0357>_,

and Hebron
<02275>_,

which [are] in Judah
<03063>

and in Benjamin
<01144>

fenced
<04694>

cities
<05892>_.

And he fortified
<02388> (8762)

the strong holds
<04694>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

captains
<05057>

in them, and store
<0214>

of victual
<03978>_,

and of oil
<08081>

and wine
<03196>_.

And in every several city
<05892>

[he put] shields
<06793>

and spears
<07420>_,

and made them exceeding
<07235> (8687) <03966>

strong
<02388> (8762)_,

having Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>

on his side.

And the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>

that [were] in all Israel
<03478>

resorted
<03320> (8694)

to him out of all their coasts
<01366>_.

{resorted...: Heb. presented themselves to him}

For the Levites
<03881>

left
<05800> (8804)

their suburbs
<04054>

and their possession
<0272>_,

and came
<03212> (8799)

to Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_:

for Jeroboam
<03379>

and his sons
<01121>

had cast them off
<02186> (8689)

from executing the priest's office
<03547> (8763)

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

And he ordained
<05975> (8686)

him priests
<03548>

for the high places
<01116>_,

and for the devils
<08163>_,

and for the calves
<05695>

which he had made
<06213> (8804)_.

And after
<0310>

them out of all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

such as set
<05414> (8802)

their hearts
<03824>

to seek
<01245> (8763)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8804)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_.

So they strengthened
<02388> (8762)

the kingdom
<04438>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and made Rehoboam
<07346>

the son

him children
<01121>_;

Jeush
<03266>_,

and Shamariah
<08114>_,

And after

her he took

{Maachah: she is also called Michaiah the daughter of Uriel}

And Rehoboam
<07346>

loved
<0157> (8799)

Maachah
<04601>

the daughter

<053>

above all his wives

made

Abijah
<029>

the son

of Maachah
<04601>

the chief
