2 Chronicles 11:12-23

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
<01121>
of Solomon
<08010>
strong
<0553> (8762)_,
three
<07969>
years
<08141>_:
for three
<07969>
years
<08141>
they walked
<01980> (8804)
in the way
<01870>
of David
<01732>
and Solomon
<08010>_.
And Rehoboam
<07346>
took
<03947> (8799)
him Mahalath
<04258>
the daughter
<01323> (8675) <01121>
of Jerimoth
<03406>
the son
<01121>
of David
<01732>
to wife
<0802>_,
[and] Abihail
<032>
the daughter
<01323>
of Eliab
<0446>
the son
<01121>
of Jesse
<03448>_;
Which bare
<03205> (8799)
him children
<01121>_;
Jeush
<03266>_,
and Shamariah
<08114>_,
and Zaham
<02093>_.
And after
<0310>
her he took
<03947> (8804)
Maachah
<04601>
the daughter
<01323>
of Absalom
<053>_;
which bare
<03205> (8799)
him Abijah
<029>_,
and Attai
<06262>_,
and Ziza
<02124>_,
and Shelomith
<08019>_.
{Maachah: she is also called Michaiah the daughter of Uriel}
And Rehoboam
<07346>
loved
<0157> (8799)
Maachah
<04601>
the daughter
<01323>
of Absalom
<053>
above all his wives
<0802>
and his concubines
<06370>_:
(for he took
<05375> (8804)
eighteen
<08083> <06240>
wives
<0802>_,
and threescore
<08346>
concubines
<06370>_;
and begat
<03205> (8686)
twenty
<06242>
and eight
<08083>
sons
<01121>_,
and threescore
<08346>
daughters
<01323>.)
And Rehoboam
<07346>
made
<05975> (8686)
Abijah
<029>
the son
<01121>
of Maachah
<04601>
the chief
<07218>_,
[to be] ruler
<05057>
among his brethren
<0251>_:
for [he thought] to make him king
<04427> (8687)_.
And he dealt wisely
<0995> (8799)_,
and dispersed
<06555> (8799)
of all his children
<01121>
throughout all the countries
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_,
unto every fenced
<04694>
city
<05892>_:
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
them victual
<04202>
in abundance
<07230>_.
And he desired
<07592> (8799)
many
<01995>
wives
<0802>_.
{many wives: Heb. a multitude of wives}
