 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 Now when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam. | 1 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. | 1 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. | 1 And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and called together all the house of Juda and of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men and warriors, to fight against Israel, and to bring back his kingdom to him. | 1 And Rehoboam cometh in to Jerusalem, and assembleth the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam. | 2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, | 2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, | 2 But the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, | 2 And the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying: | 2 And a word of Jehovah is unto Shemaiah, a man of God, saying, | 3 "Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, | 3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, | 3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, | 3 Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon the king of Juda, and to all Israel, in Juda and Benjamin: | 3 'Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, | 4 'Thus says the LORD, "You shall not go up or fight against your relatives; return every man to his house, for this thing is from Me."'" So they listened to the words of the LORD and returned from going against Jeroboam. | 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. | 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. | 4 Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: let every man return to his own house, for by my will this thing has been done. And when they heard the word of the Lord, they returned, and did not go against Jeroboam, | 4 Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your brethren, turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this thing been;' and they hear the words of Jehovah, and turn back from going against Jeroboam. | 5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built cities for defense in Judah. | 5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah. | 5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah. | 5 And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built walled cities in Juda. | 5 And Rehoboam dwelleth in Jerusalem, and buildeth cities for a bulwark in Judah, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Thus he built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, | 6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, | 6 He built Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, | 6 And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Thecue, | 6 yea, he buildeth Beth-Lehem and Etam, and Tekoa, | 7 Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam, | 7 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam, | 7 And Beth-zur, and Soco, and Adullam, | 7 And Bethsur, and Socho, and Odollam, | 7 and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam, | 8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, | 8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, | 8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, | 8 And Geth, and Maresa, and Ziph, | 8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, | 9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, | 9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, | 9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, | 9 And Aduram, and Lachis, and Azecha, | 9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, | 10 Zorah, Aijalon and Hebron, which are fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin. | 10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities. | 10 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities. | 10 Saraa also, and Aialon, and Hebron, which are in Juda and Benjamin, well fenced cities. | 10 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that are in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 He also strengthened the fortresses and put officers in them and stores of food, oil and wine. | 11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine. | 11 And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of victuals, and oil and wine. | 11 And when he had enclosed them with walls, he put in them governors and storehouses of provisions, that is, of oil and of wine. | 11 And he strengtheneth the bulwarks, and putteth in them leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine, | 12 He put shields and spears in every city and strengthened them greatly. So he held Judah and Benjamin. | 12 And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side. | 12 And in every city he put'shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. And Judah and Benjamin belonged to him. | 12 Moreover in every city he made an armoury of shields and spears, and he fortified them with great diligence, and he reigned over Juda, and Benjamin, | 12 and in every city and city targets and spears, and strengtheneth them very greatly; and he hath Judah and Benjamin. | 13 Moreover, the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him from all their districts. | 13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts. | 13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border. | 13 And the priests and Levites, that were in all Israel, came to him out of all their seats, | 13 And the priests, and the Levites, that are in all Israel, have stationed themselves by him, out of all their border, | Jeroboam Appoints False Priests |
| 14 For the Levites left their pasture lands and their property and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had excluded them from serving as priests to the LORD. | 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: | 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; | 14 Leaving their suburbs, and their possessions, and passing over to Juda, and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off, from executing the priestly office to the Lord. | 14 for the Levites have left their suburbs and their possession, and they come to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons have cast them off from acting as priests to Jehovah, | 15 He set up priests of his own for the high places, for the satyrs and for the calves which he had made. | 15 And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made. | 15 and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the he-goats, and for the calves which he had made. | 15 And he made to himself priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made. | 15 and he establisheth to him priests for high places, and for goats, and for calves, that he made -- | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 Those from all the tribes of Israel who set their hearts on seeking the LORD God of Israel followed them to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers. | 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. | 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. | 16 Moreover out of all the tribes of Israel, whosoever gave their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel, came into Jerusalem to sacrifice their victims be- fore the Lord the God of their fathers. | 16 and after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those giving their heart to seek Jehovah, God of Israel, have come in to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, God of their father. | 17 They strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam the son of Solomon for three years, for they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years. | 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. | 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. | 17 And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda, and established Roboam the son of Solomon for three years: for they walked in the ways of David and of Solomon, only three years. | 17 And they strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and strengthen Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years. | Rehoboam’s Family |
| 18 Then Rehoboam took as a wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse, | 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; | 18 And Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; | 18 And Roboam took to wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David: and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Isai. | 18 And Rehoboam taketh to him a wife, Mahalath, child of Jerimoth son of David, and Abigail daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse. | 19 and she bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah and Zaham. | 19 Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham. | 19 and she bare him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham. | 19 And they bore him sons Jehus, and Somorias, and Zoom. | 19 And she beareth to him sons, Jeush, and Shamaria, and Zaham. | 20 After her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom, and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza and Shelomith. | 20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. | 20 And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. | 20 And after her he married Maacha the daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abia and Ethai, and Ziza, and Salomith. | 20 And after her he hath taken Maachah daughter of Absalom, and she beareth to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom more than all his other wives and concubines. For he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines and fathered twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters. | 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.) | 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.) | 21 And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Absalom above all his wives, and concubines: for he had married eighteen wives, and threescore concubines: and he beget eight and twenty sons, and threescore daughters. | 21 And Rehoboam loveth Maachah daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines -- for eighteen wives he hath taken, and sixty concubines -- and he begetteth twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters. | 22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah as head and leader among his brothers, for he intended to make him king. | 22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king. | 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. | 22 But he put at the head of them Abia the son of Maacha to be the chief ruler over all his brethren: for he meant to make him king, | 22 And Rehoboam appointeth for head Abijah son of Maachah, for leader among his brethren, for to cause him to reign. | 23 He acted wisely and distributed some of his sons through all the territories of Judah and Benjamin to all the fortified cities, and he gave them food in abundance. And he sought many wives for them. | 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. | 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 sought for them many wives. | 23 Because he was wiser and mightier than all his sons, and in all the countries of Juda, and of Benjamin, and in all the walled cities: and he gave them provisions in abundance, and he sought many wives. | 23 And he hath understanding, and spreadeth out of all his sons to all lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all cities of the bulwarks, and giveth to them provision in abundance; and he asketh a multitude of wives. |
