|
|
10. And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the kings house.
|
10. Instead of H8478 which king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 made H6213 shields H4043 of brass H5178 , and committed H6485 them to H5921 the hands H3027 of the chief H8269 of the guard H7323 , that kept H8104 the entrance H6607 of the king H4428 's house H1004 .
|
|
11. And it was so, that, as oft as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the guard came and bare them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.
|
11. And when H4480 H1767 the king H4428 entered into H1961 H935 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , the guard H7323 came H935 and fetched H5375 them , and brought them again H7725 into H413 the guard H7323 chamber H8372 .
|
|
12. And when he humbled himself, the wrath of Jehovah turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.
|
12. And when he humbled himself H3665 , the wrath H639 of the LORD H3068 turned H7725 from H4480 him , that he would not H3808 destroy H7843 him altogether H3617 : and also H1571 in Judah H3063 things H1697 went H1961 well H2896 .
|
|
13. So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mothers name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
|
13. So king H4428 Rehoboam H7346 strengthened himself H2388 in Jerusalem H3389 , and reigned H4427 : for H3588 Rehoboam H7346 was one H259 and forty H705 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 , and he reigned H4427 seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389 , the city H5892 which H834 the LORD H3068 had chosen H977 out of all H4480 H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 , to put H7760 H853 his name H8034 there H8033 . And his mother H517 's name H8034 was Naamah H5279 an Ammonitess H5984 .
|
|
14. And he did that which was evil, because he set not his heart to seek Jehovah.
|
14. And he did H6213 evil H7451 , because H3588 he prepared H3559 not H3808 his heart H3820 to seek H1875 H853 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
15. Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
|
15. Now the acts H1697 of Rehoboam H7346 , first H7223 and last H314 , are they H1992 not H3808 written H3789 in the book H1697 of Shemaiah H8098 the prophet H5030 , and of Iddo H5714 the seer H2374 concerning genealogies H3187 ? And there were wars H4421 between Rehoboam H7346 and Jeroboam H3379 continually H3605 H3117 .
|
|
16. And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
|
