2 Cronache 11:1-8

1 Roboamo, giunto che fu a Gerusalemme, radunò la casa di Giuda e di Beniamino, centottantamila uomini, guerrieri scelti, per combattere contro Israele e restituire il regno a Roboamo.

2 Ma la parola dell’Eterno fu così rivolta a Scemaia, uomo di Dio:

3 "Parla a Roboamo, figliuolo di Salomone, re di Giuda, e a tutto Israele in Giuda e in Beniamino, e di’ loro:

4 Così parla l’Eterno: Non salite a combattere contro i vostri fratelli! Ognuno se ne torni a casa sua; perché questo e avvenuto per voler mio". Quelli ubbidirono alla parola dell’Eterno, e se ne tornaron via rinunziando a marciare contro Geroboamo.

5 Roboamo abitò in Gerusalemme, e costruì delle città fortificate in Giuda.

6 Costruì Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,

7 Beth-Tsur, Soco, Adullam,

8 Gath, Maresha, Zif,
