A And whan Roboam came to Ierusalem,
he gathered together the house
of Iuda and BenIamin (euen an h&ubar;dreth
and foure score thousande chosen men
of armes) to fyghte agaynst Israel, that
they mighte brynge the kyngdome agayne
vnto Roboam. But þe; worde of the LORDE
came to Semaia the man of God, and sayde:
Speake to Roboam the sonne of Salomon
kynge of Iuda, and to all Israel þt; are
in Iuda and BenIamin, and saye: Thus sayeth
the LORDE: Ye shal not go vp, ner fyght
agaynst youre brethren: let euery man go home
agayne, for this is my dede. They herkened
vnto the wordes of þe; LORDE, and w&ebar;te
not forth agaynst Ierobo&abar;. As for Robo&abar;,
he dwelt at Ierusalem, and buylded vp the
stronge cities in Iuda, namely Bethle&ebar;, Etan,
Tekoa, Bethzur, Socho, Adull&abar;, Gath,
Maresa, Siph, Adoraim, Laches, Aseka, Zarega,
Aialon, and Hebron (which were the
fensed cities in Iuda and BenIamin) ∧ he
made them stronge, and set prynces therin, ∧
prouyded them of vytayles, oyle and wyne,
and in all cities prepared he shildes and speares,
and made them very stronge. And Iuda
and BenIamin were vnder him.
B The Prestes and Leuites also came vnto
him out of Israel and from all the borders
therof, And lefte their suburbes ∧ possession,
and came to Iuda vnto Ierusalem: for Ieroboam
and his sonnes expelled them, that
they shulde not execute the offyce of þe; presthode
vnto þe; LORDE. But for himselfe he fo&ubar;ded
prestes to þe; hye places, ∧ to feldedeuels
∧ calues, which he caused to make. And after
them came there men out of all the trybes of
Israel, which gaue ouer their hertes to seke
þe; LORDE God of Israel, ∧ came to Ierusal&ebar;
for to offre vnto the LORDE God of their fathers.
And so strengthed they þe; kingdome of
-- --
Iuda, and m&abar;tayned Roboam the sonne of
Salomon thre yeare longe: for they walked
in þe; waye of Dauid ∧ Salomon thre yeares.
C And Roboam toke Mahelath þe; doughter
of Ieremoth þe; sonne of Dauid to wife,
∧ Abihail the doughter of Eliab þe; sonne of
Isai, which bare him these sonnes: Ieus, Semaria
∧ Saham. After her toke he Maecha
the doughter of Absalom, which bare him
Abia, Athai Sisa and Selomith. But Roboam
loued Maecha the doughter of Absalom
better then all his wyues ∧ concubynes:
for he had eightene wyues and thre score c&obar;cubynes,
and begat eight ∧ twentye sonnes,
and thre score doughters. And Roboam set
Abia the sonne of Maecha to be heade and
prynce amonge his brethren: for he thoughte
to make him kynge: for he was wyse, ∧ more
mightie then all his sonnes in all the countrees
of Iuda ∧ Ben Iamin, and in all the
stronge cities. And he gaue them plenteousnes
of fode, and desyred many wyues.
