Contextual Overview

1 And when Rehoboam had entered Jerusalem, he called together the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, - to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam. 2 Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying: 3 Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, - and unto all Israel in Judah and in Benjamin, saying: 4 Thus, saith Yahweh, Ye shall not go up neither shall ye fight against your brethren, return every man to his own house, for, from me, hath this thing been brought about. So they hearkened unto the words of Yahweh, and turned back from going against Jeroboam. 5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, - and built cities for defence, in Judah; 6 yea he built Bethlehem and Etam, and Tekoa; 7 and 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 Benjamin, - as fortified cities.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he fortified the strong holds,.... Of these and other cities:

and put captains in them; garrisons of soldiers, with captains over them to defend them:

and store of victual, and of oil and wine; that they might be able to hold out a siege, should they be attacked.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 11:11. Store of victual — In these places he laid up stores of provisions, not only to enable them to endure a siege; but also that they might be able, from their situation, to supply desolate places.
