Vulgate (Clementine): Ædificavit autem Jeroboam Sichem in monte Ephraim, et habitavit ibi : et egressus inde ædificavit Phanuel.
Septuagint (Swete): Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν Ἰεροβοὰμ τὴν Σίκιμα τὴν ἐν ὄρει Ἐφράιμ, καὶ κατῴκει ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν Φανουήλ.

Haydock's commentary

Built, or "had built," while Roboam was preparing for his invasion. (Salien)

Sichem and Phanuel had been ruined by Abimelech, and by Gedeon, Judges viii. 17., and ix. 45. (Calmet)

By means of these fortresses, he secured both sides of the Jordan. (Haydock)

Jeroboam afterwards fixed his residence at Thirsa, where the court was kept, till Amri built Samaria.
