2 CHRONICLES 11:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.”
Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and he built cities for defense in Judah — Unable to reunite the kingdom militarily, Rehoboam fortified the southern realm (וַיִּשְׁמֹר בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם וַיִּבְנֶה עָרִים לַמִּצוֹר בִּיהוּדָה). Defensive construction replaced military conquest.
