2 Chronicles 11

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 Then Rehoboam went to Jerusalem, and he called together the entire house of Judah and of Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand elect men of war, so that he might contend against Israel, and turn back his kingdom to himself.	1 και ηλθεν ροβοαμ εις ιερουσαλημ και εξεκκλησιασεν τον ιουδαν και βενιαμιν εκατον ογδοηκοντα χιλιαδας νεανισκων ποιουντων πολεμον και επολεμει προς ισραηλ του επιστρεψαι την βασιλειαν τω ροβοαμ
2 And the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying:	2 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς σαμαιαν ανθρωπον του θεου λεγων
3 “Speak to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, the king of Judah, and to all of Israel who are of Judah, or of Benjamin:	3 ειπον προς ροβοαμ τον του σαλωμων και προς παντα ιουδαν και βενιαμιν λεγων
4 Thus says the Lord: You shall not ascend and fight against your brothers. Let each one return to his own house. For it is by my will that this has happened.” And when they had heard the word of the Lord, they turned back, and they did not continue on against Jeroboam.	4 ταδε λεγει κυριος ουκ αναβησεσθε και ου πολεμησετε προς τους αδελφους υμων αποστρεφετε εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου οτι παρ' εμου εγενετο το ρημα τουτο και επηκουσαν του λογου κυριου και απεστραφησαν του μη πορευθηναι επι ιεροβοαμ
5 Then Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and he built fortified cities in Judah.	5 και κατωκησεν ροβοαμ εις ιερουσαλημ και ωκοδομησεν πολεις τειχηρεις εν τη ιουδαια
6 And he built up Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,	6 και ωκοδομησεν την βαιθλεεμ και την αιταμ και την θεκωε
7 and also Bethzur, and Soco, and Adullam,	7 και την βαιθσουρα και την σοκχωθ και την οδολλαμ
8 indeed also Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,	8 και την γεθ και την μαρισαν και την ζιφ
9 then too Adoram, and Lachish, and Azekah,	9 και την αδωραιμ και την λαχις και την αζηκα
10 as well as Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which were very fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin.	10 και την σαραα και την αιαλων και την χεβρων η εστιν του ιουδα και βενιαμιν πολεις τειχηρεις
11 And when he had enclosed them with walls, he placed in them rulers, and storehouses of provisions, that is, of oil and wine.	11 και ωχυρωσεν αυτας τειχεσιν και εδωκεν εν αυταις ηγουμενους και παραθεσεις βρωματων ελαιον και οινον
12 Moreover, in each city he made an armory of shields and spears, and he strengthened them with the utmost diligence. And he ruled over Judah and Benjamin.	12 κατα πολιν και κατα πολιν θυρεους και δορατα και κατισχυσεν αυτας εις πληθος σφοδρα και ησαν αυτω ιουδα και βενιαμιν
13 Then the priests and Levites, who were in all of Israel, came to him from all their settlements,	13 και οι ιερεις και οι λευιται οι ησαν εν παντι ισραηλ συνηχθησαν προς αυτον εκ παντων των οριων
14 leaving behind their suburbs and possessions, and crossing over to Judah and to Jerusalem. For Jeroboam and his followers had cast them out, so that they could not exercise the priestly office to the Lord.	14 οτι εγκατελιπον οι λευιται τα σκηνωματα της κατασχεσεως αυτων και επορευθησαν προς ιουδαν εις ιερουσαλημ οτι εξεβαλεν αυτους ιεροβοαμ και οι υιοι αυτου του μη λειτουργειν κυριω
15 And he appointed for himself priests of high places, and of demons, and of calves that he had made.	15 και κατεστησεν εαυτω ιερεις των υψηλων και τοις ειδωλοις και τοις ματαιοις και τοις μοσχοις α εποιησεν ιεροβοαμ
16 Moreover, out of all the tribes of Israel, whosoever would give their heart so that they sought the Lord God of Israel, they went to Jerusalem to immolate their victims before the Lord, the God of their fathers.	16 και εξεβαλεν αυτους απο φυλων ισραηλ οι εδωκαν καρδιαν αυτων του ζητησαι κυριον θεον ισραηλ και ηλθον εις ιερουσαλημ θυσαι κυριω θεω των πατερων αυτων
17 And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and they confirmed Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, for three years. For they walked in the ways of David and of Solomon, but only for three years.	17 και κατισχυσαν την βασιλειαν ιουδα και κατισχυσαν ροβοαμ τον του σαλωμων εις ετη τρια οτι επορευθη εν ταις οδοις δαυιδ και σαλωμων ετη τρια
18 Then Rehoboam took as wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, son of David, and also Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse.	18 και ελαβεν εαυτω ροβοαμ γυναικα την μολλαθ θυγατερα ιεριμουθ υιου δαυιδ αβαιαν θυγατερα ελιαβ του ιεσσαι
19 They bore sons for him: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.	19 και ετεκεν αυτω υιους τον ιαους και τον σαμαριαν και τον ροολλαμ
20 And also after her, he married Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, who bore for him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.	20 και μετα ταυτα ελαβεν εαυτω την μααχα θυγατερα αβεσσαλωμ και ετεκεν αυτω τον αβια και τον ιεθθι και τον ζιζα και τον εμμωθ
21 But Rehoboam loved Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, above all his wives and concubines. For he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines. And he conceived twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.	21 και ηγαπησεν ροβοαμ την μααχαν θυγατερα αβεσσαλωμ υπερ πασας τας γυναικας αυτου και τας παλλακας αυτου οτι γυναικας δεκα οκτω ειχεν και παλλακας τριακοντα και εγεννησεν υιους εικοσι οκτω και θυγατερας εξηκοντα
22 Truly, he appointed as the head, Abijah, the son of Maacah, to be the ruler over all his brothers. For he thought to make him king,	22 και κατεστησεν εις αρχοντα ροβοαμ τον αβια τον της μααχα εις ηγουμενον εν τοις αδελφοις αυτου οτι βασιλευσαι διενοειτο αυτον
23 since he was wiser and more powerful than all his sons, even in all the regions of Judah and Benjamin, and in all the fortified cities. And he provided them with very much food, and he sought many wives.	23 και ηυξηθη παρα παντας τους υιους αυτου εν πασιν τοις οριοις ιουδα και βενιαμιν και εν ταις πολεσιν ταις οχυραις και εδωκεν αυταις τροφας πληθος πολυ και ητησατο πληθος γυναικων
