Buyelani yilowo nalowo endlini yakhe, ngoba le nto ivelé ngokuthanda kwami. Ngakho balilalela izwi likaJehova babuya ekumelaneni noJerobowamu. 5 URehobowamu waqhubeka ehlala eJerusalema wakha imizi enezivikelo eziqinile kwaJuda. 6 Ngakho wakha kabusha iBhetlehema ne-Etamu neThekhowa, 7 neBheti-zuri neSoko ne-Adulamu, 8 neGati neMareshahi neZifi, 9 ne-Adorayimi neLakishi ne-Azeka, 10 neZora ne-Ajaloni neHebroni, imizi enezivikelo eziqinile, eyayikwaJuda nakwaBhenjamini. 11 Ngaphezu kwalokho, waqinisa izindawo ezinezivikelo eziqinile wabeka abaholi kuzo nokudla namafutha newayini, 12 futhi kuyo yonke imizi ehlukahlukene wabeka izihlangu ezinkulu nezijula; waqhubeka eyiqinisa ngezinga elikhulu kakhulu. UJuda noBhenjamini baqhubeka bengabakhe. 13 Abapristi namaLevi ababekulo lonke elakwa-Israyeli bema ngakuye bevela kuzo zonke izindawo zabo. 14 Ngoba amaLevi ashiya amadlelo awo nefa lawo ayeseza kwaJuda naseJerusalema, ngoba uJerobowamu namadodana akhe babewaxoshile ukuba angabe esaba abapristi kuJehova. 15 Wazibekela ezikhundleni abapristi bezindawo eziphakeme nabamademoni amisé okwezimbuzi nabamathole ayewenzile. 16 Futhi ngemva kwabo, labo abavela kuzo zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli ababenikela inhliziyo yabo ekufuneni uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli beza ngokwabo eJerusalema bezohlabela uJehova uNkulunkulu wokhokho babo. 17 Futhi baqhubeka beqinisa ubukhosi bakwaJuda futhi beqinisa uRehobowamu indodana kaSolomoni iminyaka emithathu, ngoba bahamba ngendlela kaDavide noSolomoni iminyaka emithathu. 18 Khona-ke uRehobowamu wathatha uMahalati indodakazi kaJerimoti indodana kaDavide, futhi eka-Abhihayili indodakazi ka-Eliyabe indodana kaJese ukuba abe umkakhe. 19 Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi wamzalela amadodana, uJewushi noShemariya noZahamu. 20 Ngemva kwakhe wathatha uMahakha umzukulu ka-Absalomu. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi wamzalela u-Abhiya no-Athayi noZiza noShelomoti. 21 URehobowamu wayethanda kakhulu uMahakha umzukulu ka-Absalomu kunabo bonke abanye abafazi bakhe nezancinza zakhe; ngoba wayethathe abafazi abayishumi nesishiyagalombili, nezancinza ezingamashumi ayisithupha, wazala amadodana angamashumi amabili nesishiyagalombili namadodakazi angamashumi ayisithupha. 22 Ngenxa yalokho uRehobowamu wabeka u-Abhiya indodana kaMahakha esikhundleni sokuba inhloko, njengomholi phakathi kwabafowabo, ngoba wayecabanga ukumbeka inkosi. 23 Nokho, wenza ngokuqonda wabela abanye emadodaneni akhe wonke kuwo wonke amazwe akwaJuda nakwaBhenjamini, kuyo yonke imizi enezivikelo eziqinile, futhi wawanika insada yokudla wawatholela nabafazi abaningi.2 IziKronike 11
