2CH-12:1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the
kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the
LORD, and all Israel with him.
2CH-12:2 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 LORD,
2CH-12:3 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.
2CH-12:4 And he took the fenced cities which [pertained] to
Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
2CH-12:5 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 LORD, Ye
have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand
of Shishak.
2CH-12:6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled
themselves; and they said, The LORD [is] righteous.
2CH-12:7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the
word of the LORD 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.
2CH-12:8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may
know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the
countries.
2CH-12:9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and
took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the
treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also
the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
2CH-12:10 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.
2CH-12:11 And when the king entered into the house of the LORD,
the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the
guard chamber.
2CH-12:12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD
turned from him, that he would not destroy [him] altogether: and
also in Judah things went well.
2CH-12:13 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 LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel,
to put his name there. And his mother's name [was] Naamah an
Ammonitess.
2CH-12:14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to
seek the LORD.
2CH-12:15 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.
2CH-12:16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in
the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
