2 CHRONICLES 10
















1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all Israel had gathered to make him king.
2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard of this, he returned from Egypt, for he had
fled to Egypt to escape from King Solomon.
3 The leaders of Israel summoned him, and Jeroboam and all Israel went to speak
with Rehoboam.
4 "Your father was a hard master," they said. "Lighten the harsh labor demands
and heavy taxes that your father imposed on us. Then we will be your loyal
subjects."

5 Rehoboam replied, "Come back in three days for my answer." So the people went
away.

6 Then King Rehoboam discussed the matter with the older men who had counseled
his father, Solomon. "What is your advice?" he asked. "How should I answer these
people?"

7 The older counselors replied, "If you are good to these people and do your
best to please them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your
loyal subjects."

8 But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the older men and instead asked the
opinion of the young men who had grown up with him and were now his advisers.
9 "What is your advice?" he asked them. "How should I answer these people who
want me to lighten the burdens imposed by my father?"

10 The young men replied, "This is what you should tell those complainers who
want a lighter burden: `My little finger is thicker than my father's waist!
11 Yes, my father laid heavy burdens on you, but I'm going to make them even
heavier! My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions!'"

12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to hear Rehoboam's
decision, just as the king had ordered.
13 But Rehoboam spoke harshly to them, for he rejected the advice of the older
counselors
14 and followed the counsel of his younger advisers. He told the people, "My
father laid* heavy burdens on you, but I'm going to make them even heavier! My
father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions!"

15 So the king paid no attention to the people. This turn of events was the will
of God, for it fulfilled the LORD's message to Jeroboam son of Nebat through the
prophet Ahijah from Shiloh.

16 When all Israel realized* that the king had refused to listen to them, they
responded,

"Down with the dynasty of David!
  We have no interest in the son of Jesse.
Back to your homes, O Israel!
  Look out for your own house, O David!"

  So all the people of Israel returned home.
17 But Rehoboam continued to rule over the Israelites who lived in the towns of
Judah.

18 King Rehoboam sent Adoniram,* who was in charge of the labor force, to
restore order, but the people of Israel stoned him to death. When this news
reached King Rehoboam, he quickly jumped into his chariot and fled to Jerusalem.
19 And to this day the northern tribes of Israel have refused to be ruled by a
descendant of David.







2 CHRONICLES 11
















1 When Rehoboam arrived at Jerusalem, he mobilized the men of Judah and
Benjamin—180,000 select troops—to fight against Israel and to restore the
kingdom to himself.

2 But the LORD said to Shemaiah, the man of God,
3 "Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the Israelites in
Judah and Benjamin:
4 `This is what the LORD says: Do not fight against your relatives. Go back
home, for what has happened is my doing!'" So they obeyed the message of the
LORD and did not fight against Jeroboam.


5 Rehoboam remained in Jerusalem and fortified various towns for the defense of
Judah.
6 He built up Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam,
8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron. These became the fortified towns of Judah and
Benjamin.
11 Rehoboam strengthened their defenses and stationed commanders in them, and he
stored supplies of food, olive oil, and wine.
12 He also put shields and spears in these towns as a further safety measure. So
only Judah and Benjamin remained under his control.

13 But all the priests and Levites living among the northern tribes of Israel
sided with Rehoboam.
14 The Levites even abandoned their pasturelands and property and moved to Judah
and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons would not allow them to serve the
LORD as priests.
15 Jeroboam appointed his own priests to serve at the pagan shrines, where they
worshiped the goat and calf idols he had made.
16 From all the tribes of Israel, those who sincerely wanted to worship the
LORD, the God of Israel, followed the Levites to Jerusalem, where they could
offer sacrifices to the LORD, the God of their ancestors.
17 This strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and for three years they supported
Rehoboam son of Solomon, for during those years they faithfully followed in the
footsteps of David and Solomon.


18 Rehoboam married his cousin Mahalath, the daughter of David's son Jerimoth
and of Abihail, the daughter of Eliab son of Jesse.
19 Mahalath had three sons—Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.

20 Later Rehoboam married another cousin, Maacah, the daughter of Absalom.
Maacah gave birth to Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Rehoboam loved Maacah more than any of his other wives and concubines. In
all, he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and they gave birth to
twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.

22 Rehoboam appointed Maacah's son Abijah as leader among the princes, making it
clear that he would be the next king.
23 Rehoboam also wisely gave responsibilities to his other sons and stationed
some of them in the fortified towns throughout the land of Judah and Benjamin.
He provided them with generous provisions, and he found many wives for them.







2 CHRONICLES 12
















1 But when Rehoboam was firmly established and strong, he abandoned the Law of
the LORD, and all Israel followed him in this sin.
2 Because they were unfaithful to the LORD, King Shishak of Egypt came up and
attacked Jerusalem in the fifth year of King Rehoboam's reign.
3 He came with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horses,* and a countless army of foot
soldiers, including Libyans, Sukkites, and Ethiopians.*
4 Shishak conquered Judah's fortified towns and then advanced to attack
Jerusalem.

5 The prophet Shemaiah then met with Rehoboam and Judah's leaders, who had all
fled to Jerusalem because of Shishak. Shemaiah told them, "This is what the LORD
says: You have abandoned me, so I am abandoning you to Shishak."

6 Then the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, "The LORD
is right in doing this to us!"

7 When the LORD saw their change of heart, he gave this message to Shemaiah:
"Since the people have humbled themselves, I will not completely destroy them
and will soon give them some relief. I will not use Shishak to pour out my anger
on Jerusalem.
8 But they will become his subjects, so they will know the difference between
serving me and serving earthly rulers."

9 So King Shishak of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem. He ransacked the
treasuries of the LORD's Temple and the royal palace; he stole everything,
including all the gold shields Solomon had made.
10 King Rehoboam later replaced them with bronze shields as substitutes, and he
entrusted them to the care of the commanders of the guard who protected the
entrance to the royal palace.
11 Whenever the king went to the Temple of the LORD, the guards would also take
the shields and then return them to the guardroom.
12 Because Rehoboam humbled himself, the LORD's anger was turned away, and he
did not destroy him completely. There were still some good things in the land of
Judah.


13 King Rehoboam firmly established himself in Jerusalem and continued to rule.
He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years
in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from among all the tribes of Israel
as the place to honor his name. Rehoboam's mother was Naamah, a woman from
Ammon.
14 But he was an evil king, for he did not seek the LORD with all his heart.

15 The rest of the events of Rehoboam's reign, from beginning to end, are
recorded in The Record of Shemaiah the Prophet and The Record of Iddo the Seer,
which are part of the genealogical record. Rehoboam and Jeroboam were
continually at war with each other.
16 When Rehoboam died, he was buried in the City of David. Then his son Abijah
became the next king.







JOHN 11:30-57
















1 A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters, Mary and
Martha.
2 This is the Mary who later poured the expensive perfume on the Lord's feet and
wiped them with her hair.* Her brother, Lazarus, was sick.
3 So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, "Lord, your dear
friend is very sick."

4 But when Jesus heard about it he said, "Lazarus's sickness will not end in
death. No, it happened for the glory of God so that the Son of God will receive
glory from this."
5 So although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus,
6 he stayed where he was for the next two days.
7 Finally, he said to his disciples, "Let's go back to Judea."

8 But his disciples objected. "Rabbi," they said, "only a few days ago the
people* in Judea were trying to stone you. Are you going there again?"

9 Jesus replied, "There are twelve hours of daylight every day. During the day
people can walk safely. They can see because they have the light of this world.
10 But at night there is danger of stumbling because they have no light."
11 Then he said, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and
wake him up."

12 The disciples said, "Lord, if he is sleeping, he will soon get better!"
13 They thought Jesus meant Lazarus was simply sleeping, but Jesus meant Lazarus
had died.

14 So he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.
15 And for your sakes, I'm glad I wasn't there, for now you will really believe.
Come, let's go see him."

16 Thomas, nicknamed the Twin,* said to his fellow disciples, "Let's go, too—and
die with Jesus."

17 When Jesus arrived at Bethany, he was told that Lazarus had already been in
his grave for four days.
18 Bethany was only a few miles* down the road from Jerusalem,
19 and many of the people had come to console Martha and Mary in their loss.
20 When Martha got word that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him. But Mary
stayed in the house.
21 Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not
have died.
22 But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask."

23 Jesus told her, "Your brother will rise again."

24 "Yes," Martha said, "he will rise when everyone else rises, at the last day."

25 Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life.* Anyone who believes in
me will live, even after dying.
26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you
believe this, Martha?"

27 "Yes, Lord," she told him. "I have always believed you are the Messiah, the
Son of God, the one who has come into the world from God."
28 Then she returned to Mary. She called Mary aside from the mourners and told
her, "The Teacher is here and wants to see you."
29 So Mary immediately went to him.

30 Jesus had stayed outside the village, at the place where Martha met him.
31 When the people who were at the house consoling Mary saw her leave so
hastily, they assumed she was going to Lazarus's grave to weep. So they followed
her there.
32 When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if
only you had been here, my brother would not have died."

33 When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep
anger welled up within him,* and he was deeply troubled.
34 "Where have you put him?" he asked them.
  They told him, "Lord, come and see."
35 Then Jesus wept.
36 The people who were standing nearby said, "See how much he loved him!"
37 But some said, "This man healed a blind man. Couldn't he have kept Lazarus
from dying?"

38 Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled
across its entrance.
39 "Roll the stone aside," Jesus told them.
  But Martha, the dead man's sister, protested, "Lord, he has been dead for four
days. The smell will be terrible."

40 Jesus responded, "Didn't I tell you that you would see God's glory if you
believe?"
41 So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said,
"Father, thank you for hearing me.
42 You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people
standing here, so that they will believe you sent me."
43 Then Jesus shouted, "Lazarus, come out!"
44 And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face
wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, "Unwrap him and let him go!"


45 Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this
happen.
46 But some went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Then the leading priests and Pharisees called the high council* together.
"What are we going to do?" they asked each other. "This man certainly performs
many miraculous signs.
48 If we allow him to go on like this, soon everyone will believe in him. Then
the Roman army will come and destroy both our Temple* and our nation."

49 Caiaphas, who was high priest at that time,* said, "You don't know what
you're talking about!
50 You don't realize that it's better for you that one man should die for the
people than for the whole nation to be destroyed."

51 He did not say this on his own; as high priest at that time he was led to
prophesy that Jesus would die for the entire nation.
52 And not only for that nation, but to bring together and unite all the
children of God scattered around the world.

53 So from that time on, the Jewish leaders began to plot Jesus' death.
54 As a result, Jesus stopped his public ministry among the people and left
Jerusalem. He went to a place near the wilderness, to the village of Ephraim,
and stayed there with his disciples.

55 It was now almost time for the Jewish Passover celebration, and many people
from all over the country arrived in Jerusalem several days early so they could
go through the purification ceremony before Passover began.
56 They kept looking for Jesus, but as they stood around in the Temple, they
said to each other, "What do you think? He won't come for Passover, will he?"
57 Meanwhile, the leading priests and Pharisees had publicly ordered that anyone
seeing Jesus must report it immediately so they could arrest him.

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me ... To grant [consolation and joy] to
those who mourn in Zion?to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty
instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive]
of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit?that they may be
called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for
uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord,
that He may be glorified." (Isaiah 61:1-3 AMPC)

Almighty God Yahweh I glorify, I praise and I honor your Holy Name! My Lord and
my Savior Jesus I magnify, I lift you up, I praise you and I honor your
Holiness! Holy Spirit I desired, I discern and I delight your presence unto me
and to my son. I respect your presence and I humbly ask that you touch me and my
son. Jesus I believe in my heart that you are changing me for the better that my
faith is growing in its potential. I ask in the name of Jesus my son Joshua and
I are empowered by your Holy Spirit, to touch us right now, we claim and receive
it! Create a clean heart in us, that we seek your kingdom and righteousness
first and foremost and everything shall be added unto us. Therefor I speak it
and I believe it in the name of Jesus amen and amen!
