2 Chroniques 11:1-7

1 Roboam, étant arrivé à Jérusalem, assembla la maison de Juda et de Benjamin, cent quatre-vingt mille hommes de guerre choisis, pour combattre contre Israël, pour ramener le royaume à Roboam.
2 Mais la parole de l'Éternel fut adressée à Shémaeja, homme de Dieu, en ces termes:
3 Parle à Roboam, fils de Salomon, roi de Juda, et à tout Israël en Juda et en Benjamin, et dis-leur:
4 Ainsi dit l'Éternel: Vous ne monterez point, et vous ne combattrez point contre vos frères; retournez- vous-en, chacun dans sa maison; car ceci vient de moi. Et ils obéirent aux paroles de l'Éternel, et s'en retournèrent, renonçant à marcher contre Jéroboam.
5 Roboam demeura donc à Jérusalem, et il bâtit des villes fortes en Juda.
6 Il bâtit Bethléhem, Étam, Thékoa,
7 Beth-Tsur, Soco, Adullam,
