14:010:015 So the king hearkened not unto the people:  for the cause was
           of God, that the lord might perform his word, which he spake
           by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of
           Nebat.

14:010:016 And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto
           them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have
           we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: 
           every man to your tents, O Israel:  and now, David, see to
           thine own house.  So all Israel went to their tents.

14:010:017 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of
           Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

14:010:018 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and
           the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. 
           But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to
           flee to Jerusalem.

14:010:019 And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

14:011:001 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the
           house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand
           chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that
           he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.

14:011:002 But the word of the lord came to Shemaiah the man of God,
           saying,

14:011:003 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to
           all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

14:011:004 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 Jeroboam.

14:011:005 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence
           in Judah.

14:011:006 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,

14:011:007 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,

14:011:008 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,

14:011:009 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,

14:011:010 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in
           Benjamin fenced cities.

14:011:011 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them,
           and store of victual, and of oil and wine.

14:011:012 And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made
           them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.

14:011:013 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel
           resorted to him out of all their coasts.

14:011:014 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and
           came to Judah and Jerusalem:  for Jeroboam and his sons had
           cast them off from executing the priest’s office unto the
           lord
