- 2 Chroniques 11
  
  1 When Rehoboam had 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.
  
  2 But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
  
  3 "Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
  
  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.
  
  5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
  
  6 He built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
  
  7 Beth Zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
  
  8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
  
  9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
  
  10 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
  
  11 He fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of food, and oil and wine.
  
  12 He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceeding strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
  
  13 The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border.
  
  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;
  
  15 and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made.
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  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;
  
  19 and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
  
  20 After her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
  
  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.)
  
  22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.
  
  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.
  
  2 Chroniques 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.
  
  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,
  
  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.
  
  4 He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
  
  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.'"
  
  6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "Yahweh is righteous."
  
  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.
  
  8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."
  
  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 it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
  
  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.
  
  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 room.
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  14 He did that which was evil, because he didn't set his heart to seek Yahweh.
  
  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 way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
  
  16 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
  
  Sophonie 3
  
  1 Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!
  
  2 She didn't obey the voice. She didn't receive correction. She didn't trust in Yahweh. She didn't draw near to her God.
  
  3 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
  
  4 Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
  
  5 Yahweh, in the midst of her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn't fail, but the unjust know no shame.
  
  6 I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
  
  7 I said, "Just fear me. Receive correction, so that her dwelling won't be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her." But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
  
  8 "Therefore wait for me," says Yahweh, "until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
  
  9 For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the name of Yahweh, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
  
  10 From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering.
  
  11 In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be haughty in my holy mountain.
  
  12 But I will leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in the name of Yahweh.
  
  13 The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid."
  
  14 Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
  
  15 Yahweh has taken away your judgments. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, Yahweh, is in the midst of you. You will not be afraid of evil any more.
  
  16 In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, "Don't be afraid, Zion. Don't let your hands be weak."
  
  17 Yahweh, your God, is in the midst of you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
  
  18 I will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you.
  
  19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you, and I will save those who are lame, and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the earth.
  
  20 At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says Yahweh.
  
  Apocalypse 2
  
  1 "To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:
  
  2 "I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can't tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
  
  3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
  
  4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
  
  5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
  
  6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
  
  7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.
  
  8 "To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
  
  9 "I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
  
  10 Don't be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
  
  11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
  
  12 "To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
  
  13 "I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn't deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
  
  14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
  
  15 So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise .
  
  16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
  
  17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.
  
  18 "To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:
  
  19 "I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
  
  20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
  
  21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
  
  22 Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
  
  23 I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
  
  24 But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as don't have this teaching, who don't know what some call 'the deep things of Satan,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
  
  25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
  
  26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
  
  27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:
  
  28 and I will give him the morning star.
  
  29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
