2 Chronicles 11 describes the division of the kingdom of Israel after the death of King Solomon, with ten northern tribes rebeling against Roboam, son of Solomon, who ruled the two southern tribes. The chapter also talks about the fortifications built by Robano in Judah to prepare for the war.
1 Kings 12:16: "See, therefore, all Israel that the king did not hear him, the people answered the king, saying, What part we have with David? We have no inheritance with the son of Jesse; Your tents, O Israel! Now, look at your house, O David. And Israel is gone to your tents. " This verse talks about the rebellion of the ten northern tribes, which separated from the kingdom of Judah.
2 Chronicles 12:1: "And it happened that, eventually royal to consolidate the kingdom, and strengthening, left the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him." This verse shows that Roban, after strengthening his kingdom, abandoned the law of God and led the people with him.
Deuteronomy 20:1: "When you go out to the battle against your enemies, and you will see horses, and cars, and people more numerous than you, you will not fear them; for the Lord your God, who took you out of the earth of Egypt, is with you . " This verse talks about the importance of trust in God in times of war, which was a concern for Robano in building fortifications.
Proverbs 18:10: "Strong tower is the name of the Lord; the righteous will run to it, and be in high refuge." This verse reinforces the theme of the construction of fortifications, but recalls that true security and protection comes from the name of the Lord.
Jeremiah 17:5: "Thus saith the Lord, the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and separates his heart of the Lord." This verse recalls that despite the fortifications and preparations for war, trust in God is the true key to victory and protection.
