9. Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10. Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, fortified cities that are in Judah and in Benjamin.
11. And he strengthened the fortifications and put commanders in them, along with stores of food, olive oil, and wine.
12. And in all the cities he put shields and spears, and he greatly strengthened them. So he had Judah and Benjamin.
13. Now the priests and the Levites who were throughout all Israel took their stand with him from all their territories.
14. For the Levites left their pasturelands and their property and came to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to Yahweh.
