2 Crónicas 11
Riveduta 1927
1Roboamo, giunto che fu a Gerusalemme, radunò la casa di Giuda e di Beniamino, centottantamila uomini, guerrieri scelti, per combattere contro Israele e restituire il regno a Roboamo.
2Ma la parola dell’Eterno fu così rivolta a Scemaia, uomo di Dio:
3“Parla a Roboamo, figliuolo di Salomone, re di Giuda, e a tutto Israele in Giuda e in Beniamino, e di’ loro:
4Così parla l’Eterno: Non salite a combattere contro i vostri fratelli! Ognuno se ne torni a casa sua; perché questo e avvenuto per voler mio”. Quelli ubbidirono alla parola dell’Eterno, e se ne tornaron via rinunziando a marciare contro Geroboamo.
5Roboamo abitò in Gerusalemme, e costruì delle città fortificate in Giuda.
6Costruì Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7Beth-Tsur, Soco, Adullam,
8Gath, Maresha, Zif,
9Adoraim, Lakis, Azeka,
10Tsorea, Ajalon ed Hebron, che erano in Giuda e in Beniamino, e ne fece delle città fortificate.
11Munì queste città fortificate, vi pose dei comandanti e dei magazzini di viveri, d’olio e di vino;
12e in ognuna di queste città mise scudi e lance, e le rese straordinariamente forti. E Giuda e Beniamino furon per lui.
13I sacerdoti e i Leviti di tutto Israele vennero da tutte le loro contrade a porsi accanto a lui;
14poiché i Leviti abbandonarono i loro contadi e le loro proprietà, e vennero in Giuda e a Gerusalemme; perché Geroboamo, con i suoi figliuoli, li avea cacciati perché non esercitassero più l’ufficio di sacerdoti dell’Eterno,
15e s’era creato de’ sacerdoti per gli alti luoghi, per i demoni, e per i vitelli che avea fatti.
16E quelli di tutte le tribù d’Israele che aveano in cuore di cercare l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele, seguirono i Leviti a Gerusalemme per offrir sacrifizi all’Eterno, all’Iddio del loro padri;
17e fortificarono così il regno di Giuda e resero stabile Roboamo, figliuolo di Salomone, durante tre anni; perché per tre anni seguiron la via di Davide e di Salomone.
18Roboamo prese per moglie Mahalath, figliuola di Jerimoth, figliuolo di Davide e di Abihail, figliuola di Eliab, figliuolo d’Isai.
19Essa gli partorì questi figliuoli: Jeush, Scemaria e Zaham.
20Dopo di lei, prese Maaca, figliuola d’Absalom, la quale gli partorì Ahija, Attai, Ziza e Scelomith.
21E Roboamo amò Maaca, figliuola di Absalom, più di tutte le sue mogli e di tutte le sue concubine; perché ebbe diciotto mogli, e sessanta concubine, e generò ventotto figliuoli e sessanta figliuole.
22Roboamo stabilì Abija, figliuolo di Maaca, come capo della famiglia e principe de’ suoi fratelli, perché aveva in mente di farlo re.
23E, con avvedutezza, sparse tutti i suoi figliuoli per tutte le contrade di Giuda e di Beniamino, in tutte le città fortificate, dette loro viveri in abbondanza, e cercò per loro molte mogli.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y 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.
2Mas fué palabra de Jehová á Semeías varón de Dios, diciendo:
3Habla á Roboam hijo de Salomón, rey de Judá, y á todos los Israelitas en Judá y Benjamín, diciéndoles:
4Así ha dicho Jehová: No subáis ni peleéis contra vuestros hermanos; vuélvase cada uno á su casa, porque yo he hecho este negocio. Y ellos oyeron la palabra de Jehová, y tornáronse, y no fueron contra Jeroboam.
5Y habitó Roboam en Jerusalem, y edificó ciudades para fortificar á Judá.
6Y edificó á Beth-lehem, y á Etham, y á Tecoa,
7Y á Beth-sur, y á Sochô, y á Adullam,
8Y á Gath, y á Maresa, y á Ziph,
9Y á Adoraim, y á Lachîs, y á Acechâ,
10Y á Sora, y á Ajalón, y á Hebrón, que eran en Judá y en Benjamín, ciudades fuertes.
11Fortificó también las fortalezas, y puso en ellas capitanes, y vituallas, y vino, y aceite;
12Y en todas las ciudades, escudos y lanzas. Fortificólas pues en gran manera, y Judá y Benjamín le estaban sujetos.
13Y los sacerdotes y Levitas que estaban en todo Israel, se juntaron á él de todos sus términos.
14Porque 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.
15Y él se hizo sacerdotes para los altos, y para los demonios, y para los becerros que él había hecho.
16Tras 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.
17Así 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.
18Y tomóse Roboam por mujer á Mahalath, hija de Jerimoth hijo de David, y á Abihail, hija de Eliab hijo de Esaí.
19La cual le parió hijos: á Jeus, y á Samaria, y á Zaham.
20Después de ella tomó á Maachâ hija de Absalom, la cual le parió á Abías, á Athai, Ziza, y Selomith.
21Mas 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.
22Y puso Roboam á Abías hijo de Maachâ por cabeza y príncipe de sus hermanos, porque quería hacerle rey.
23E 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.
King James Version
1And 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.
2But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4Thus 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.
5And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
6He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7And Beth-zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
8And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
11And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
12And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
13And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
14For 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:
15And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16And 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.
17So 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.
18And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
20And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21And 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.)
22And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
23And 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.
World English Bible
1When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2But the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4‘The LORD says, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Every man return to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to the LORD’s words, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
6He built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7Beth Zur, Soco, Adullam,
8Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
9Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, which are fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin.
11He fortified the strongholds and put captains in them with stores of food, oil and wine.
12He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceedingly strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
13The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him out of all their territory.
14For the Levites left their pasture lands and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office to the LORD.
15He himself appointed priests for the high places, for the male goat and calf idols which he had made.
16After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those who set their hearts to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
17So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
18Rehoboam took a wife for himself, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.
19She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20After her, he took Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21Rehoboam loved Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
22Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.
23He dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city. He gave them food in abundance; and he sought many wives for them.
