- 1And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.וַיָּבֹ֣א רְחַבְעָם֮ יְרוּשָׁלִַם֒ וַיַּקְהֵל֩ אֶת בֵּ֨ית יְהוּדָ֜ה וּבִנְיָמִ֗ן מֵאָ֨ה וּשְׁמוֹנִ֥ים אֶ֛לֶף בָּח֖וּר עֹשֵׂ֣ה מִלְחָמָ֑ה לְהִלָּחֵם֙ עִם יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לְהָשִׁ֥יב אֶת הַמַּמְלָכָ֖ה לִרְחַבְעָֽם
- 2But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,וַיְהִי֙ דְּבַר יְהוָ֔ה אֶל שְׁמַֽעְיָ֥הוּ אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים לֵאמֹֽר
- 3Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,אֱמֹ֕ר אֶל רְחַבְעָ֥ם בֶּן שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה וְאֶל֙ כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל בִּיהוּדָ֥ה וּבִנְיָמִ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר
- 4Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.כֹּ֣ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֡ה לֹא תַעֲלוּ֩ וְלֹא תִלָּ֨חֲמ֜וּ עִם אֲחֵיכֶ֗ם שׁ֚וּבוּ אִ֣ישׁ לְבֵית֔וֹ כִּ֧י מֵֽאִתִּ֛י נִהְיָ֖ה הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֑ה וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ אֶת דִּבְרֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַיָּשֻׁ֖בוּ מִלֶּ֥כֶת אֶל יָרָבְעָֽם
- 5And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב רְחַבְעָ֖ם בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וַיִּ֧בֶן עָרִ֛ים לְמָצ֖וֹר בִּיהוּדָֽה
- 6He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,וַיִּ֧בֶן אֶת לֶ֛חֶם וְאֶת עֵיטָ֖ם וְאֶת תְּקֽוֹעַ
- 7And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,וְאֶת צ֥וּר וְאֶת שׂוֹכ֖וֹ וְאֶת עֲדֻלָּֽם
- 8And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,וְאֶת גַּ֥ת וְאֶת מָרֵשָׁ֖ה וְאֶת זִֽיף
- 9And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,וְאֶת אֲדוֹרַ֥יִם וְאֶת לָכִ֖ישׁ וְאֶת עֲזֵקָֽה
- 10And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.וְאֶת צָרְעָה֙ וְאֶת אַיָּל֔וֹן וְאֶת חֶבְר֔וֹן אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּיהוּדָ֖ה וּבְבִנְיָמִ֑ן עָרֵ֖י מְצֻרֽוֹת
- 11And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.וַיְחַזֵּ֖ק אֶת הַמְּצֻר֑וֹת וַיִּתֵּ֤ן נְגִידִ֔ים וְאֹצְר֥וֹת מַאֲכָ֖ל וְשֶׁ֥מֶן וָיָֽיִן
- 12And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.וּבְכָל עִ֤יר וָעִיר֙ צִנּ֣וֹת וּרְמָחִ֔ים וַֽיְחַזְּקֵ֖ם לְהַרְבֵּ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד וַיְהִי יְהוּדָ֥ה וּבִנְיָמִֽן
- 13And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.וְהַכֹּהֲנִים֙ וְהַלְוִיִּ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּכָל יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל הִֽתְיַצְּב֥וּ עָלָ֖יו מִכָּל גְּבוּלָֽם
- 14For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD:כִּֽי עָזְב֣וּ הַלְוִיִּ֗ם אֶת מִגְרְשֵׁיהֶם֙ וַאֲחֻזָּתָ֔ם וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ לִיהוּדָ֖ה וְלִֽירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם כִּֽי הִזְנִיחָ֤ם יָֽרָבְעָם֙ וּבָנָ֔יו מִכַּהֵ֖ן לַיהוָֽה
- 15And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.וַיַּֽעֲמֶד כֹּֽהֲנִ֔ים לַבָּמ֖וֹת וְלַשְּׂעִירִ֑ים וְלָעֲגָלִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָֽׂה
- 16And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.וְאַחֲרֵיהֶ֗ם מִכֹּל֙ שִׁבְטֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הַנֹּֽתְנִים֙ אֶת לְבָבָ֔ם לְבַקֵּ֕שׁ אֶת יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל בָּ֚אוּ יְר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם לִזְבּ֕וֹחַ לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֲבוֹתֵיהֶֽם
- 17So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.וַֽיְחַזְּקוּ֙ אֶת מַלְכ֣וּת יְהוּדָ֔ה וַֽיְאַמְּצ֛וּ אֶת רְחַבְעָ֥ם בֶּן שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה לְשָׁנִ֣ים שָׁל֑וֹשׁ כִּ֣י הָֽלְכ֗וּ בְּדֶ֧רֶךְ דָּוִ֛יד וּשְׁלֹמֹ֖ה לְשָׁנִ֥ים שָׁלֽוֹשׁ
- 18And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;וַיִּֽקַּֽח רְחַבְעָם֙ אִשָּׁ֔ה אֶת מָ֣חֲלַ֔ת בן בַּת יְרִימ֖וֹת בֶּן דָּוִ֑יד אֲבִיהַ֕יִל בַּת אֱלִיאָ֖ב בֶּן יִשָֽׁי
- 19Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.וַתֵּ֥לֶד בָּנִ֑ים אֶת יְע֥וּשׁ וְאֶת שְׁמַרְיָ֖ה וְאֶת זָֽהַם
- 20And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.וְאַחֲרֶ֣יהָ לָקַ֔ח אֶֽת מַעֲכָ֖ה בַּת אַבְשָׁל֑וֹם וַתֵּ֣לֶד אֶת אֲבִיָּה֙ וְאֶת עַתַּ֔י וְאֶת זִיזָ֖א וְאֶת שְׁלֹמִֽית
- 21And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)וַיֶּאֱהַ֨ב רְחַבְעָ֜ם אֶת מַעֲכָ֣ה בַת אַבְשָׁל֗וֹם מִכָּל נָשָׁיו֙ וּפִ֣ילַגְשָׁ֔יו כִּ֠י נָשִׁ֤ים שְׁמוֹנֶֽה עֶשְׂרֵה֙ נָשָׂ֔א וּפִֽילַגְשִׁ֖ים שִׁשִּׁ֑ים וַיּ֗וֹלֶד עֶשְׂרִ֧ים וּשְׁמוֹנָ֛ה בָּנִ֖ים וְשִׁשִּׁ֥ים בָּנֽוֹת
- 22And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.וַיַּֽעֲמֵ֨ד לָרֹ֧אשׁ רְחַבְעָ֛ם אֶת אֲבִיָּ֥ה בֶֽן מַעֲכָ֖ה לְנָגִ֣יד בְּאֶחָ֑יו כִּ֖י לְהַמְלִיכֽוֹ
- 23And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.וַיָּבֶן֩ וַיִּפְרֹ֨ץ מִכָּל בָּנָ֜יו לְֽכָל אַרְצ֧וֹת יְהוּדָ֣ה וּבִנְיָמִ֗ן לְכֹל֙ עָרֵ֣י הַמְּצֻר֔וֹת וַיִּתֵּ֥ן הַמָּז֖וֹן לָרֹ֑ב וַיִּשְׁאַ֖ל הֲמ֥וֹן נָשִֽׁים

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
