2 Chronicles 11:6
“He built even Beth–lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,”
Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
He built even Beth–lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
And Beth–zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
