2 Crónicas 11:1-8

1 Y COMO vino Roboam á Jerusalem, juntó la casa de Judá y de Benjamín, ciento y ochenta mil hombres escogidos de guerra, para pelear contra Israel y volver el reino á Roboam.

2 Mas fué palabra de Jehová á Semeías varón de Dios, diciendo:

3 Habla á Roboam hijo de Salomón, rey de Judá, y á todos los Israelitas en Judá y Benjamín, diciéndoles:

4 Así ha dicho Jehová: No subáis ni peleéis contra vuestros hermanos; vuélvase casa uno á su casa, porque yo he hecho este negocio. Y ellos oyeron la palabra de Jehová, y tornáronse, y no fueron contra Jeroboam.

5 Y habitó Roboam en Jerusalem, y edificó ciudades para fortificar á Judá.

6 Y edificó á Beth-lehem, y á Etham, y á Tecoa,

7 Y á Beth-sur, y á Sochô, y á Adullam,

8 Y á Gath, y á Maresa, y á Ziph,
