2 Chronicles 11:6-16

6 extruxitque Bethleem et Aetham et Thecue

7 Bethsur quoque et Soccho et Odollam

8 necnon Geth et Maresa et Ziph

9 sed et Aduram et Lachis et Azecha

10 Saraa quoque et Ahilon et Hebron quae erant in Iuda et Beniamin civitates munitissimas

11 cumque clausisset eas muris posuit in eis principes ciborumque horrea hoc est olei et vini

12 sed et in singulis urbibus fecit armamentaria scutorum et hastarum firmavitque eas multa diligentia et imperavit super Iudam et Beniamin

13 sacerdotes autem et Levitae qui erant in universo Israhel venerunt ad eum de cunctis sedibus suis

14 relinquentes suburbana et possessiones suas et transeuntes ad Iudam et Hierusalem eo quod abiecisset eos Hieroboam et posteri eius ne sacerdotio Domini fungerentur

15 qui constituit sibi sacerdotes excelsorum et daemonum vitulorumque quos fecerat

16 sed et de cunctis tribubus Israhel quicumque dederant cor suum ut quaererent Dominum Deum Israhel venerunt Hierusalem ad immolandas victimas Domino Deo patrum suorum
