WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Tan pronto como Roboán llegó a Jerusalén, reunió un ejército de las tribus de Judá y Benjamín, ciento ochenta mil soldados escogidos, y declaró la guerra contra el resto de Israel, en un esfuerzo por volver a unir el reino.
1 When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 Pero el Señor habló con Semaías, varón de Dios, y le dio este mensaje:
2 But Yahweh’s word came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 «Quiero que vayas y digas al rey Roboán hijo de Salomón, rey de Judá, y a la gente de Judá y de Benjamín,
3 “Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 que este es el mensaje que yo, el Señor, les doy: “No peleen contra sus hermanos. Vuélvanse a su tierra, por cuanto ellos se han rebelado por disposición mía”». Por tanto, obedecieron al Señor, y no fueron a pelear contra Jeroboán.
4 ‘Yahweh says, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Every man return to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to Yahweh’s words, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 Roboán se quedó en Jerusalén y fortificó las siguientes ciudades de Judá y de Benjamín con murallas y portones: Belén, Etam, Tecoa, Betsur, Soco, Adulán, Gat, Maresá, Zif, Adorayin, Laquis, Azeca, Zora, Ayalón y Hebrón.
5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.

10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, which are fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin.
11 También reconstruyó y reforzó los fuertes y estableció guarnición con tropas de soldados bajo el mando de sus oficiales; y allí almacenó alimentos, aceite de oliva y vino.
11 He fortified the strongholds and put captains in them with stores of food, oil and wine.
12 Se establecieron arsenales en cada ciudad para mantener existencias de escudos y lanzas, como otra medida de seguridad; porque solamente los israelitas de Judá y de Benjamín permanecían leales al rey.
12 He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceedingly strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
13 Sin embargo, los sacerdotes y levitas de las otras tribus procedieron a abandonar sus hogares y se trasladaron a Judá y a Jerusalén, porque el rey Jeroboán los había despedido y prohibido ejercer el sacerdocio del Señor.
13 The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him out of all their territory.
14 Not in this translation
14 For the Levites left their pasture lands and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office to Yahweh.
15 En lugar de ellos había designado a otros sacerdotes, quienes incitaron a la gente a adorar ídolos y no a Dios, a presentar sacrificios a los ídolos de chivos y becerros que Jeroboán hizo colocar en los cerros.
15 He himself appointed priests for the high places, for the male goat and calf idols which he had made.
16 También el verdadero pueblo de Dios, de todas partes de Israel, comenzó a trasladarse a Jerusalén, pues allí podían adorar libremente al Señor, Dios de sus padres, y ofrecerle sacrificios.
16 After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those who set their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
17 Esto fortaleció tanto al reino de Judá, que el rey Roboán pudo subsistir por tres años sin dificultad; porque en aquellos años se hizo un sincero esfuerzo por obedecer al Señor, tal como lo habían hecho el rey David y el rey Salomón.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
18 Roboán se había casado con su prima Majalat, que era hija de Jerimot hijo de David. La madre de Jerimot fue Abijaíl, hija de Eliab y nieta de Isaí.
18 Rehoboam took a wife for himself, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.
19 De este matrimonio nacieron tres hijos, Jeús, Semarías y Zaján.
19 She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 Posteriormente, Roboán se casó con Macá, hija de Absalón, con la cual tuvo cuatro hijos, que fueron: Abías, Atay, Ziza y Selomit.
20 After her, he took Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Amaba a Macá más que a cualquiera de sus otras esposas y concubinas (tenía dieciocho esposas y sesenta concubinas, con veintiocho hijos y sesenta hijas).
21 Rehoboam loved Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
22 El hijo de Macá, llamado Abías era el favorito de Roboán; por eso lo puso como jefe de sus hermanos, pues su deseo era hacerlo rey.
22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.
23 En forma muy inteligente, Roboán envió a sus otros hijos a vivir en las ciudades fortificadas que había a lo largo de Judá y de Benjamín, les dio abundantes provisiones, y les consiguió varias esposas a cada uno.
23 He dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city. He gave them food in abundance; and he sought many wives for them.
