2 Crónicas 11
Bible du Rabbinat (Zadoc Kahn)
1Roboam se rendit à Jérusalem et convoqua la maison de Juda et de Benjamin, cent quatre-vingt mille guerriers d’élite, pour faire la guerre à Israël afin de restituer la royauté à Roboam.
2Alors la parole du Seigneur s’adressa à Chemaya, homme de Dieu, en ces termes:
3"Parle ainsi à Roboam, fils de Salomon, roi de Juda, et à tous les Israélites dans Juda et dans Benjamin:
4Ainsi parle le Seigneur: N’allez point faire la guerre à vos frères, rentrez chacun dans vos demeures, car c’est par moi que cet événement s’est produit." Ils obéirent à la parole du Seigneur et renoncèrent à marcher contre Jéroboam.
5Roboam, s’étant établi à Jérusalem, érigea en forteresses des villes de Juda.
6Il fortifia Bethléem, Etam, Tekoa,
7Beth-Çour, Sokho, Adoullam,
8Gath, Marêcha, Ziph,
9Adoraïm, Lakhich, Azêka,
10Çorea, Ayyalôn et Hébron, toutes villes situées dans Juda et Benjamin et dont il fit des villes fortes:
11Pour augmenter la puissance de ces forteresses, il y établit des commandants, des réserves de vivres, d’huile et de vin;
12Il amassa également dans chacune de ces villes des boucliers et des lances, et les rendit ainsi très fortes. Juda et Benjamin lui restèrent dévoués.
13Les prêtres et les Lévites, répandus dans tout Israël, vinrent de tout le territoire se présenter à lui.
14Les Lévites abandonnaient, en effet, leurs lieux d’habitation et leurs possessions pour se rendre en Juda et à Jérusalem, parce que Jéroboam, avec ses fils, les avaient empêchés d’exercer leurs fonctions de prêtres,
15et qu’il avait institué des prêtres à lui pour les hauts lieux, pour les démons et pour les veaux d’or fabriqués par lui.
16A la suite des Lévites, ceux d’entre toutes les tribus d’Israël qui avaient à cœur de rendre hommage à l’Eternel, Dieu d’Israël, vinrent à Jérusalem pour sacrifier à l’Eternel, Dieu de leurs pères.
17Ils contribuèrent à fortifier le royaume de Juda et à affermir le pouvoir de Roboam, fils de Salomon, pendant trois années; car pendant trois années, on marcha dans la voie de David et de Salomon.
18Roboam prit pour femme Mahalat, fille de Yerimot, fils de David, et d’Abihaïl, fille d’Elïab, fils de Jessé.
19Elle lui donna des fils: Yeouch, Chemaria et Zaham.
20Après elle, il épousa Maakha, fille d’Absalon, qui lui enfanta Abiyya, Attaï, Ziza et Chelomit.
21Roboam préférait Maakha, fille d’Absalon, à toutes ses femmes et concubines: car il eut dix-huit femmes et soixante concubines, et il engendra vingt-huit fils et soixante filles.
22Aussi Roboam établit-il Abiyya, fils de Maakha, comme chef et prince parmi ses frères, en vue de lui assurer la royauté.
23En homme avisé, il dispersa l’ensemble de ses fils dans toutes les terres de Juda et de Benjamin, en les établissant dans toutes les villes fortes. Il leur donna d’abondantes subsistances et demanda pour eux une multitude de femmes.
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.
