1
And it came
to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the
L
ORD
, and all Israel with him.
2
And it came to pass,
that
in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the
L
ORD
,
3
With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people
were
without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.
And he took the fenced cities which
pertained
to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5
Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and
to
the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the
L
ORD
, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
6
Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The
L
ORD
is
righteous.
7
And when the
L
ORD
saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the
L
ORD
came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves;
therefore
I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8
Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
9
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the
L
ORD
, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
10
Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed
them
to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king’s house.
11
And when the king entered into the house of the
L
ORD
, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.
12
And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the
L
ORD
turned from him, that he would not destroy
him
altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
13
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam
was
one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the
L
ORD
had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name
was
Naamah an Ammonitess.
14
And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the
L
ORD
.
15
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last,
are
they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And
there were
wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
