1 And Roboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled Juda and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand young men fit for war, and he waged war with Israel to recover the kingdom to Roboam.
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 And the word of the Lord came to Samaias the man of God, saying,
2 Mas fué palabra de Jehová á Semeías varón de Dios, diciendo:
3 Speak to Roboam the [son] of Solomon, and to all Juda and Benjamin, saying,
3 Habla á Roboam hijo de Salomón, rey de Judá, y á todos los Israelitas en Judá y Benjamín, diciéndoles:
4 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, and ye shall not war against your brethren: return every one to his home; for this thing is of me. And they hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
4 Así ha dicho Jehová: No subáis ni peleéis contra vuestros hermanos; vuélvase cada 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 And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and he built walled cities in Judæa.
5 Y habitó Roboam en Jerusalem, y edificó ciudades para fortificar á Judá.
6 And he built Bethleem, and Ætan and Thecoe,
6 Y edificó á Beth-lehem, y á Etham, y á Tecoa,
7 and Bæthsura, and Sochoth, and Odollam,
7 Y á Beth-sur, y á Sochô, y á Adullam,
8 and Geth, and Marisa, and Ziph,
8 Y á Gath, y á Maresa, y á Ziph,
9 and Adorai, and Lachis, and Azeca,
9 Y á Adoraim, y á Lachîs, y á Acechâ,
10 and Saraa, and Ælom, and Chebron, which belongs to Juda and Benjamin, walled cities.
10 Y á Sora, y á Ajalón, y á Hebrón, que eran en Judá y en Benjamín, ciudades fuertes.
11 And he fortified them with walls, and placed in them captains, and stores of provisions, oil and wine,
11 Fortificó también las fortalezas, y puso en ellas capitanes, y vituallas, y vino, y aceite;
12 shields and spears in every several city, and he fortified them very strongly, and he had on his side Juda and Benjamin.
12 Y en todas las ciudades, escudos y lanzas. Fortificólas pues en gran manera, y Judá y Benjamín le estaban sujetos.
13 And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel were gathered to him out of all the coasts.
13 Y los sacerdotes y Levitas que estaban en todo Israel, se juntaron á él de todos sus términos.
14 For the Levites left the tents of their possession, and went to Juda to Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had ejected them so that they should not minister to the Lord.
14 Porque los Levitas dejaban sus ejidos y sus posesiones, y se venían á Judá y á Jerusalem: pues Jeroboam y sus hijos los echaban del ministerio de Jehová.
15 And he made for himself priests of the high places, and for the idols, and for the vanities, and for the calves which Jeroboam made.
15 Y él se hizo sacerdotes para los altos, y para los demonios, y para los becerros que él había hecho.
16 And he cast out from the tribes of Israel those who set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel: and they came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers.
16 Tras aquéllos acudieron también de todas las tribus de Israel los que habían puesto su corazón en buscar á Jehová Dios de Israel; y viniéronse á Jerusalem para sacrificar á Jehová, el Dios de sus padres.
17 And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda; and [Juda] strengthened Roboam the [son] of Solomon for three years, for he walked three years in the ways of David and Solomon.
17 Así fortificaron el reino de Judá, y confirmaron á Roboam hijo de Salomón, por tres años; porque tres años anduvieron en el camino de David y de Salomón.
18 And Roboam took to himself for a wife Moolath daughter of Jerimuth the son of David, and Abigaia daughter of Heliab the son of Jessæ.
18 Y tomóse Roboam por mujer á Mahalath, hija de Jerimoth hijo de David, y á Abihail, hija de Eliab hijo de Esaí.
19 And she bore him sons; Jeus, and Samoria, and Zaam.
19 La cual le parió hijos: á Jeus, y á Samaria, y á Zaham.
20 And afterwards he took to himself Maacha the daughter of Abessalom; and she bore him Abia, and Jetthi, and Zeza, and Salemoth.
20 Después de ella tomó á Maachâ hija de Absalom, la cual le parió á Abías, á Athai, Ziza, y Selomith.
21 And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Abessalom more than all his wives and all his concubines: for he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines; and he begot twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters.
21 Mas Roboam amó á Maachâ hija de Absalom sobre todas sus mujeres y concubinas; porque tomó diez y ocho mujeres y sesenta concubinas, y engendró veintiocho hijos y sesenta hijas.
22 And he made Abia the son of Maacha chief, [even] a leader among his brethren, for he intended to make him king.
22 Y puso Roboam á Abías hijo de Maachâ por cabeza y príncipe de sus hermanos, porque [quería] hacerle rey.
23 And he was exalted beyond all his [other] sons in all the coasts of Juda and Benjamin, and in the strong cities; and he gave them provisions in great abundance: and he desired many wives.
23 E hízole instruir, y esparció todos sus hijos por todas las tierras de Judá y de Benjamín, y por todas las ciudades fuertes, y dióles vituallas en abundancia, y pidió muchas mujeres.
