1 When Rehobo'am came to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah, and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight against Israel, to restore the kingdom to Rehobo'am.

2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemai'ah the man of God:

3 "Say to Rehobo'am the son of Solomon king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,

5 Rehobo'am dwelt in Jerusalem, and he built cities for defense in Judah.
