11:1  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.

11:2  And the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:

11:2  But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

11:2  Factusque est sermo Domini ad Semeiam hominem Dei, dicens :

11:3  Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon the king of Juda, and to all Israel, in Juda and Benjamin:

11:3  Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

11:3  Loquere ad Roboam filium Salomonis regem Juda, et ad universum Israël, qui est in Juda et Benjamin :

11:4  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,

11:4  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.

11:4  Hæc dicit Dominus : Non ascendetis, neque pugnabitis contra fratres vestros : revertatur unusquisque in domum suam, quia mea hoc gestum est voluntate. Qui cum audissent sermonem Domini, reversi sunt, nec perrexerunt contra Jeroboam.

11:5  And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built walled cities in Juda.

11:5  And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.

11:5  Habitavit autem Roboam in Jerusalem, et ædificavit civitates muratas in Juda.

11:6  And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Thecue,

11:6  He built even Beth–lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,

11:6  Exstruxitque Bethlehem, et Etam, et Thecue,

11:7  And Bethsur, and Socho, and Odollam,

11:7  And Beth–zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,

11:7  Bethsur quoque, et Socho, et Odollam,

11:8  And Geth, and Maresa, and Ziph,

11:8  And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,

11:8  necnon et Geth, et Maresa, et Ziph,

11:9  And Aduram, and Lachis, and Azecha,

11:9  And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,

11:9  sed et Aduram, et Lachis, et Azeca,

11:10  Saraa also, and Aialon, and Hebron, which are in Juda and Benjamin, well fenced cities.

11:10  And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.

11:10  Saraa quoque, et Ajalon, et Hebron, quæ erant in Juda et Benjamin, civitates munitissimas.

11:11  And when he had enclosed them with walls, he put in them governors and storehouses of provisions, that is, of oil and of wine.

11:11  And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.

11:11  Cumque clausisset eas muris, posuit in eis principes, ciborumque horrea, hoc est, olei, et vini.

11:12  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,

11:12  And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.

11:12  Sed et in singulis urbibus fecit armamentarium scutorum et hastarum, firmavitque eas summa diligentia, et imperavit super Judam et Benjamin.

11:13  And the priests and Levites, that were in all Israel, came to him out of all their seats,

11:13  And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.

11:13  Sacerdotes autem et Levitæ qui erant in universo Israël, venerunt ad eum de cunctis sedibus suis,

11:14  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.

11:14  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:

11:14  relinquentes suburbana et possessiones suas, et transeuntes ad Judam et Jerusalem : eo quod abjecisset eos Jeroboam et posteri ejus, ne sacerdotio Domini fungerentur.

11:15  And he made to himself priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.

11:15  And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.

11:16  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.

11:16  Sed et de cunctis tribubus Israël, quicumque dederant cor suum ut quærerent Dominum Deum Israël, venerunt in Jerusalem ad immolandum victimas suas coram Domino Deo patrum suorum.

11:17  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.

11:17  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.

11:17  Et roboraverunt regnum Juda, et confirmaverunt Roboam filium Salomonis per tres annos : ambulaverunt enim in viis David et Salomonis, annis tantum tribus.

11:18  And Roboam took to wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David: and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Isai.

11:18  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;

11:18  Duxit autem Roboam uxorem Mahalath filiam Jerimoth filii David : Abihail quoque filiam Eliab filii Isai,

11:19  And they bore him sons Jehus, and Somorias, and Zoom.

11:19  Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.

11:19  quæ peperit ei filios Jehus, et Somoriam, et Zoom.

11:20  And after her he married Maacha the daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abia, and Ethai, and Ziza, and Salomith.

11:20  And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

11:20  Post hanc quoque accepit Maacha filiam Absalom, quæ peperit ei Abia, et Ethai, et Ziza, et Salomith.

11:21  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 begot eight and twenty sons, and threescore daughters.

11:21  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.)

11:21  Amavit autem Roboam Maacha filiam Absalom super omnes uxores suas et concubinas : nam uxores decem et octo duxerat, concubinas autem sexaginta : et genuit viginti octo filios, et sexaginta filias.

11:22  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,

11:22  And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.

11:22  Constituit vero in capite Abiam filium Maacha ducem super omnes fratres suos : ipsum enim regem facere cogitabat,

11:23  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.

11:23  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.

11:23  quia sapientior fuit, et potentior super omnes filios ejus, et in cunctis finibus Juda et Benjamin, et in universis civitatibus muratis : præbuitque eis escas plurimas, et multas petivit uxores.
