PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE REHOBOAM 1KI 11:43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. 1KI 12:1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king. 1KI 12:2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;) 1KI 12:3 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying, 1KI 12:4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee. 1KI 12:5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed. 1KI 12:6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people? 1KI 12:7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever. 1KI 12:8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him: 1KI 12:9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter? 1KI 12:10 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins. 1KI 12:11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 1KI 12:12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day. 1KI 12:13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him; 1KI 12:14 And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 1KI 12:15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 1KI 12:16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents. 1KI 12:17 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 1KI 12:18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 1KI 12:19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. 1KI 12:20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only. 1KI 12:21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. 1KI 12:22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 1KI 12:23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying, 1KI 12:24 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD. 1KI 14:25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem: 1KI 14:26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 1KI 14:27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king's house. 1KI 14:28 And it was so, when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber. 1KI 14:29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 1KI 14:30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. 1KI 14:31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead. 1CH 3:1 Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron; the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess: 1CH 3:5 And these were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shimea, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, four, of Bathshua the daughter of Ammiel: 1CH 3:10 And Solomon's son was Rehoboam, Abia his son, Asa his son, Jehoshaphat his son, 1CH 3:11 Joram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son, 1CH 3:12 Amaziah his son, Azariah his son, Jotham his son, 1CH 3:13 Ahaz his son, Hezekiah his son, Manasseh his son, 1CH 3:14 Amon his son, Josiah his son. 1CH 3:15 And the sons of Josiah were, the firstborn Johanan, the second Jehoiakim, the third Zedekiah, the fourth Shallum. 1CH 3:16 And the sons of Jehoiakim: Jeconiah his son, Zedekiah his son. 1CH 3:17 And the sons of Jeconiah; Assir, Salathiel his son, 1CH 3:18 Malchiram also, and Pedaiah, and Shenazar, Jecamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah. 1CH 3:19 And the sons of Pedaiah were, Zerubbabel, and Shimei: and the sons of Zerubbabel; Meshullam, and Hananiah, and Shelomith their sister: 1CH 3:20 And Hashubah, and Ohel, and Berechiah, and Hasadiah, Jushabhesed, five. 1CH 3:21 And the sons of Hananiah; Pelatiah, and Jesaiah: the sons of Rephaiah, the sons of Arnan, the sons of Obadiah, the sons of Shechaniah. 1CH 3:22 And the sons of Shechaniah; Shemaiah: and the sons of Shemaiah; Hattush, and Igeal, and Bariah, and Neariah, and Shaphat, six. 1CH 3:23 And the sons of Neariah; Elioenai, and Hezekiah, and Azrikam, three. 1CH 3:24 And the sons of Elioenai were, Hodaiah, and Eliashib, and Pelaiah, and Akkub, and Johanan, and Dalaiah, and Anani, seven. 2CH 9:31 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. 2CH 10:1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king. 2CH 10:2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt. 2CH 10:3 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying, 2CH 10:4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee. 2CH 10:5 And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed. 2CH 10:6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people? 2CH 10:7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever. 2CH 10:8 But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him. 2CH 10:9 And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us? 2CH 10:10 And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins. 2CH 10:11 For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 2CH 10:12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day. 2CH 10:13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men, 2CH 10:14 And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 2CH 10:15 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. 2CH 10:16 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. 2CH 10:17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 2CH 10:18 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. 2CH 10:19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. 2CH 11:1 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. 2CH 11:2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 2CH 11:3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, 2CH 11:4 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 Jeroboam. 2CH 11:5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah. 2CH 11:6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, 2CH 11:7 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam, 2CH 11:8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, 2CH 11:9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, 2CH 11:10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities. 2CH 11:11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine. 2CH 11:12 And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side. 2CH 11:13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts. 2CH 11:14 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: 2CH 11:15 And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made. 2CH 11:16 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers. 2CH 11:17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon. 2CH 11:18 And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; 2CH 11:19 Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham. 2CH 11:20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. 2CH 11:21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.) 2CH 11:22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king. 2CH 11:23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives. 2CH 12:1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him. 2CH 12:2 And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD, 2CH 12:3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. 2CH 12:4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 2CH 12:5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. 2CH 12:6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous. 2CH 12:7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 2CH 12:8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. 2CH 12:9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 2CH 12:10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house. 2CH 12:11 And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber. 2CH 12:12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well. 2CH 12:13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 2CH 12:14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD. 2CH 12:15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 2CH 12:16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead. MAT 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. MAT 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; MAT 1:3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; MAT 1:4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; MAT 1:5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; MAT 1:6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; MAT 1:7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; MAT 1:8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; MAT 1:9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; MAT 1:10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; MAT 1:11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: MAT 1:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; MAT 1:13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; MAT 1:14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; MAT 1:15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; MAT 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. MAT 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. ============================== THE LECTRONIC IBRARY ECHANGE P.O.
