5Rehobo'am dwelt in Jerusalem, and he built cities for defense in Judah. 6He built Bethlehem, Etam, Teko'a, 7Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam, 8Gath, Mare'shah, Ziph, 9Adora'im, Lachish, Aze'kah, 10Zorah, Ai'jalon, and Hebron, fortified cities which are in Judah and in Benjamin. 11He made the fortresses strong, and put commanders in them, and stores of food, oil, and wine. 12And he put shields and spears in all the cities, and made them very strong. So he held Judah and Benjamin.
