2 Chronicles 11:5-12

Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built strong cities in Judah to defend it. He built up the cities of Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, Beth Zur, Soco, Adullam, Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron. These were strong, walled cities in Judah and Benjamin. When Rehoboam made those cities strong, he put commanders and supplies of food, oil, and wine in them. Also, Rehoboam put shields and spears in all the cities and made them very strong. Rehoboam kept the people of Judah and Benjamin under his control.
