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 Jerobo´am.
5 And Rehobo´am dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Teko´a,
7 and Beth–zur, and Shoco, and Adul´lam,
8 and Gath, and Mare´shah, and Ziph,
9 and Adora´im, and Lachish, and Aze´kah,
10 and Zorah, and Aj´alon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fenced cities.
