Contextual Overview
1 When Rechav‘am arrived in Yerushalayim, he assembled the house of Y'hudah and Binyamin, 180,000 select soldiers, to fight Isra'el and bring the rulership back to Rechav‘am. 2 But this word of Adonai came to Sh'ma‘yah the man of God: 3 "Speak to Rechav‘am the son of Shlomo, king of Y'hudah, and to all Isra'el in Y'hudah and Binyamin; tell them 4 that this is what Adonai says: ‘You are not to go up and fight your brothers! Every man is to go back home, because this is my doing.'" They paid attention to the words of Adonai and turned back from attacking Yarov‘am. 5 Rechav‘am lived in Yerushalayim and built cities for defense in Y'hudah — 6 he built Beit-Lechem, ‘Eitam, T'koa, 7 Beit-Tzur, Sokho, ‘Adulam, 8 Gat, Mareshah, Zif, 9 Adorayim, Lakhish, ‘Azekah, 10 Tzor‘ah, Ayalon and Hevron; these are fortified cities in Y'hudah and Binyamin.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Zorah,.... The same with Zoreah, Joshua 15:33,
and Aijalon; there was a city of the tribe of Dan of this name, in the valley of which the moon stood still in the times of Joshua, Joshua 10:12, but whether the same with this, and now belonging to Judah, or another of the same name, is not certain:
and Hebron; a city in the mountainous part of Judah, and a city of refuge, about twenty miles from Jerusalem, Joshua 15:54,
which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities; as they were now made by Rehoboam.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The site of Adoraim is uncertain. For Lachish, see Joshua 10:3; Azekah, Joshua 10:10; Zorah, Joshua 15:33; Aijalon, Joshua 10:12; Hebron, Joshua 14:15. No one of the cities was really within the limits of the tribe of Benjamin. The writer uses the phrase “Judah and Benjamin” merely as the common designation of the southern kingdom (compare 2 Chronicles 11:12 and 2 Chronicles 11:23).
