Chap. XI.
Roboam intending by force to reduce al Israel to his subiection, is warned by
a Prophet to cease from that enterprise. 5. He maketh walles about diuers
cities, 11. furnisheth them with victuals, and munition, 13. Priestes,
Leuites, and manie others repaire to Ierusalem, because Ieroboam maketh
a new religion, and new priestes, 18. Roboam taketh manie wiues, and
concubines. 22. preferreth Abias aboue al his other sonnes.

Roboam.
1 And Roboam came into Ierusalem, and called together
al the house of Iuda and Beniamin, an hundred fourescore
thousand chosen men and warriers, to fight agaynst Israel,
and to conuert his kingdom vnto him.
2 And the word
of our Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:
3 Speake
to Roboam the sonne of Salomon the king of Iuda, and to al
Israel, that is in Iuda and Beniamin:
4 Thus sayth our Lord:
You shal not goe vp, neither shal you fight agaynst your brethren:
let euerie man returne into his house, because this
thing is done by my wil. Who when they had heard the word
of our Lord, returned, neither went they forward agaynst
Ieroboam.
5 And Roboam dwelt in Ierusalem, and built
walled cities in Iuda.
6 And he built Bethlehem, and Etam,
and Thecue,
7 Bethsur also, and Socho, & Odollam,
8 moreouer
also Geth, and Maresa, and Ziph,
9 yea and Aduram, and
Lachis, and Azeca,
10 Saraa also, and Aialon, and Hebron,
which were in Iuda and Beniamin, most fensed cities.
11 And
when he had inclosed them with walles, he put in them
princes, and store houses of victuals, that is, of oile and wine.
12 Yea and in euerie citie he made armories of shieldes and
speares, and he strengthened them with great diligence, and
reigned ouer Iuda and Beniamin.
13 And the Priestes and
Leuites, that were in al Israel, came to him out of al their
seates,
14 noteleauing their suburbes, and their possessious, and
passing to Iuda, and Ierusalem, because Ieroboam had cast
them of, and their posteritie: that they should not execute
the priesthood of our Lord.
15 Who made vnto him selfe
priestes of the excelses, and of diuels, and of the calues which
he had made.
16 Yea and of al the tribes of Israel, whosoeuer
had geuen their hart to seeke our Lord the God of Israel, came
into Ierusalem to immolate their victims before our Lord the
God of their fathers.
17 And they strenghened the kingdom
of Iuda, and established Roboam the sonne of Salomon for
three yeares: for they walked in the waies of Dauid and Salomon,
onlie three yeares.
18 And Roboam tooke to wife Mahalath,
the daughter of Ierimoth the sonne of Dauid: Abihail
also the daughter of Eliab the sonne of Isai,
19 who bare him
sonnes Iehus, and Somorias, and Zoom.
20 After this woman
also he tooke Maacha the daughter of Absalom, who bare
him Abia, and Ethai, and Ziza, and Salomith.
21 And Roboam
loued Maacha the daughter of Absalom aboue al his wiues,
-- --
Roboam.
and concubines: for he had maried eightene wiues, and threescore
concubines: and he begat eight and twentie sonnes, and
threescore daughters.
22 But he appoynted for head Abias the
sonne of Maacha duke ouer al his brethren: for he meant to
make him king,
23 because he was wiser, and mightier aboue
al his sonnes, and in al the costes of Iuda, and of Beniamin,
and in al the walled cities: and he gaue them much meate, and
he desired manie wiues.
