5 So Rehoboam dwelled in Jerusalem and built siege cities in Judah.
6 He built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 Beth Zur in the east, Soko, Adullam,
8 Gath, Mareshah in the west, Ziph,
9 Adoraim, Lachish in the south, Azekah,
10 Zorah, Aijalon in the northwest, and central Hebron, all of which were fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin.
11 He strengthened the fortresses and set leaders in them with stockpiles of food, oil, and wine.
