Chronicles 10-12
2Ch
10:1 Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem
to make him king.
2Ch
10:2 It happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for
he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king
Solomon), that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
2Ch
10:3 They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and
they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
2Ch
10:4 Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the
grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on
us, lighter, and we will serve you.
2Ch
10:5 He said to them, Come again to me after three days. The people
departed.
2Ch
10:6 King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood
before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel do
you give me to return answer to this people?
2Ch
10:7 They spoke to him, saying, If you are kind to this people, and
please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your
servants forever.
2Ch
10:8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given
him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him,
who stood before him.
2Ch
10:9 He said to them, What counsel do you give, that we may return
answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke
that your father did put on us lighter?
2Ch
10:10 The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying,
Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, Your father
made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us; thus you shall say to
them, My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.
2Ch
10:11 Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will
add 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 the third day,
as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day.
2Ch
10:13 The king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the
counsel of the old men,
2Ch
10:14 and spoke to them after the counsel 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 didn't listen to the people; for it was brought
about of God, that Yahweh might establish his word, which he spoke by
Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
2Ch
10:16 When all Israel saw that the king didn't listen to them, the
people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David?
neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your
tents, Israel: now see to your own house, David. So all Israel
departed to their tents.
2Ch
10:17 But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of
Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
2Ch
10:18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject
to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with
stones. King Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to
flee to Jerusalem.
2Ch
10:19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
2Ch
11:1 When Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of
Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men, who were
warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to
Rehoboam.
2Ch
11:2 But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
2Ch
11:3 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all
Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
2Ch
11:4 Thus says Yahweh, You shall not go up, nor fight against your
brothers: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So
they listened to the words of Yahweh, and returned from going against
Jeroboam.
2Ch
11:5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in
Judah.
2Ch
11:6 He built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
2Ch
11:7 Beth Zur, and Soco, 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, fortified cities.
2Ch
11:11 He fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and
stores of food, and oil and wine.
2Ch
11:12 In every city he put
shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. Judah and
Benjamin belonged to him.
2Ch
11:13 The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to
him out of all their border.
2Ch
11:14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and
came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off,
that they should not execute the priest's office to Yahweh;
2Ch
11:15 and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the
male goats, and for the calves which he had made.
2Ch
11:16 After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their
hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to
sacrifice to Yahweh, the 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 they walked three years
in the way of David and Solomon.
2Ch
11:18 Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth
the son of David, and of
Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
2Ch
11:19 and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
2Ch
11:20 After her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore
him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
2Ch
11:21 Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his
wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty
concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty
daughters.)
2Ch
11:22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, even
the prince among his brothers; for he
was minded to make him king.
2Ch
11:23 He dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all
the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave
them food in abundance. He sought for
them many wives.
2Ch
12:1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and
he was strong, that he forsook the law of Yahweh, and all Israel with
him.
2Ch
12:2 It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak
king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed
against Yahweh,
2Ch
12:3 with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen. The
people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim,
the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
2Ch
12:4 He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came
to Jerusalem.
2Ch
12:5 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes
of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak,
and said to them, Thus says Yahweh, You have forsaken me, therefore
have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
2Ch
12:6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and
they said, Yahweh is righteous.
2Ch
12:7 When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of
Yahweh came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will
not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my
wrath shall not be poured out on 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 Yahweh, and the treasures of the
king's house: he took all away: he took away also the shields of gold
which Solomon had made.
2Ch
12:10 King Rehoboam made in their place shields of brass, and
committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept
the door of the king's house.
2Ch
12:11 It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of
Yahweh, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the
guard chamber.
2Ch
12:12 When he humbled himself, the wrath of Yahweh turned from him,
so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were
good things found.
2Ch
12:13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and
reigned: for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh
had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there:
and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
2Ch
12:14 He did that which was evil, because he didn't set his heart to
seek Yahweh.
2Ch
12:15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written
in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after
the manner of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and
Jeroboam continually.
2Ch
12:16 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of
David: and Abijah his son reigned in his place.

The

is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.

Acts 16
Act 16:1 He came to
Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named
Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed; but his father was a
Greek.
Act 16:2 The brothers
who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Act 16:3 Paul wanted to
have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of
the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father
was a Greek.
Act 16:4 As they went
on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them
to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were
at Jerusalem.
Act 16:5 So the
assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number
daily.
Act 16:6 When they had
gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden
by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
Act 16:7 When they had
come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit
didn't allow them.
Act 16:8 Passing by
Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Act 16:9 A vision
appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing,
begging him, and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."
Act 16:10 When he had
seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia,
concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to
them.
Act 16:11 Setting sail
therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and
the day following to Neapolis;
Act 16:12 and from
there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the
district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
Act 16:13 On the
Sabbath day we went forth outside of the city by a riverside, where
we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke
to the women who had come together.
Act 16:14 A certain
woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one
who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to
the things which were spoken by Paul.
Act 16:15 When she and
her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, "If you have
judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay."
So she persuaded us.
Act 16:16 It happened,
as we were going to prayer, that a certain girl having a spirit of
divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune
telling.
Act 16:17 Following
Paul and us, she cried out, "These men are servants of the Most
High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!"
Act 16:18 She was doing
this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and
said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ
to come out of her!" It came out that very hour.
Act 16:19 But when her
masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul
and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
Act 16:20 When they had
brought them to the magistrates, they said, "These men, being
Jews, are agitating our city,
Act 16:21 and set forth
customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being
Romans."
Act 16:22 The multitude
rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes
off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Act 16:23 When they had
laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the
jailer to keep them safely,
Act 16:24 who, having
received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and
secured their feet in the stocks.
Act 16:25 But about
midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and
the prisoners were listening to them.
Act 16:26 Suddenly
there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison
were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and
everyone's bonds were loosened.
Act 16:27 The jailer,
being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his
sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had
escaped.
Act 16:28 But Paul
cried with a loud voice, saying, "Don't harm yourself, for we
are all here!"
Act 16:29 He called for
lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
Act 16:30 and brought
them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
Act 16:31 They said,
"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you
and your household."
Act 16:32 They spoke
the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Act 16:33 He took them
the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was
immediately baptized, he and all his household.
Act 16:34 He brought
them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced
greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.
Act 16:35 But when it
was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, "Let those
men go."
Act 16:36 The jailer
reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent
to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace."
Act 16:37 But Paul said
to them, "They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who
are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us
secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring
us out!"
Act 16:38 The sergeants
reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when
they heard that they were Romans,
Act 16:39 and they came
and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to
depart from the city.
Act 16:40 They went out
of the prison, and entered into Lydia's house. When they had seen the
brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
