And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and [a]built strong cities in Judah.

He built also Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,

And Beth Zur, and Sochoh, and Adullam,

And Gath, Mareshah, and Ziph,

And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,

10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which were in Judah and Benjamin strong cities.

11 And he [b]repaired the strongholds and put captains in them, and store of vittles, and oil and wine.

12 And in all cities he put shields and spears and made them exceedingly strong: so Judah and Benjamin were his.
