2Chr 11:2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

2Chr 11:3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

kōh ’āmar yəhwāh lō’-ṯa‘ălû wəlō’-ṯillāḥămû ‘im-’ăḥêḵem šûḇû ’îš ləḇêṯô kî mē’ittî nihəyāh haddāḇār hazzeh wayyišəmə‘û ’eṯ-diḇərê yəhwāh wayyāšuḇû milleḵeṯ ’el-yārāḇə‘ām

2Chr 11:4 Thus 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.

2Chr 11:14 For 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:

2Chr 11:21 And 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.)

wayya‘ămēḏ lārō’š rəḥaḇə‘ām ’eṯ-’ăḇiyyāh ḇen-ma‘ăḵāh lənāg̱îḏ bə’eḥāyw kî ləhaməlîḵô

2Chr 11:22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
