Contextual Overview
1 Rehoboam went back to Jerusalem and gathered together an army of 180,000 men from the families of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin. Rehoboam wanted to go fight against the Israelites and take back his kingdom. 2 But the Lord spoke to a man of God named Shemaiah. He said, 3 "Talk to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to men of Judah and Benjamin. 4 Say to them, ‘The Lord says that you must not go to war against your brothers. Everyone, go home! I made all this happen.'" So all the men in Rehoboam's army obeyed the Lord and went home. They did not attack Jeroboam. 5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built strong cities in Judah to defend against attacks. 6 He repaired the cities of Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, 7 Beth Zur, Soco, Adullam, 8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, 9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, 10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron. These cities in Judah and Benjamin were made strong.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he fortified the strong holds,.... Of these and other cities:
and put captains in them; garrisons of soldiers, with captains over them to defend them:
and store of victual, and of oil and wine; that they might be able to hold out a siege, should they be attacked.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 11:11. Store of victual — In these places he laid up stores of provisions, not only to enable them to endure a siege; but also that they might be able, from their situation, to supply desolate places.
