After
Rehoboam had
established his
sovereignty
and royal
power
, he and all Israel with him forsook
the
Law
of
the
LORD
.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the
kingdom
of
Rehoboam was
established ,
and he
was
strong
, that
he forsook
the
law
of
Jehovah,
and all Israel with him.
In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s
reign,
because
they
had
been
unfaithful
to
the
LORD
, Shishak king of Egypt came up and
attacked
Jerusalem
And
it
came
to
pass
in the fifth year of king
Rehoboam
, that
Shishak king of Egypt came up against
Jerusalem ,
because
they
had
trespassed
against
Jehovah,
with 1,200
chariots, 60,000
horsemen ,
and countless
troops
who
came with him out of Egypt —Libyans
, Sukkites
, and Cushites
.
with twelve
hundred
chariots, and
threescore
thousand
horsemen .
And the
people
were
without
number
that
came with him out of Egypt :
the
Lubim
, the
Sukkiim
, and the
Ethiopians
.
He captured
the fortified cities of
Judah and came as
far
as
Jerusalem.
And
he took
the fortified cities which
pertained
to
Judah ,
and came unto
Jerusalem.
Then
Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders
of Judah who
had
gathered at
Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he
said to
them, “This
is
what
the
LORD
says:
‘You
have forsaken Me ;
therefore
, I
have forsaken
you into
the hand of Shishak. ’”
Now
Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam ,
and to
the princes
of Judah ,
that
were
gathered together
to
Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto
them, Thus
saith
Jehovah,
Ye
have forsaken me, therefore
have I
also
left
you in
the hand of Shishak.
So
the leaders
of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The
LORD
is righteous. ”
Then
the princes
of Israel and the king humbled themselves ;
and they
said, Jehovah
is righteous.
When the
LORD
saw that they had
humbled themselves, the word of the
LORD
came to Shemaiah, saying, “
They have humbled themselves ;
I will not destroy them ,
but will soon
grant them deliverance .
My wrath will
not be poured out on
Jerusalem through
Shishak.
And
when Jehovah
saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah
came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves :
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.
Nevertheless ,
they will
become
his servants, so
that they may learn
the
difference
between
serving
Me
and serving
the kings
of other
lands
. ”
Nevertheless they shall
be
his servants, that they may know
my
service,
and the service
of the
kingdoms
of
the
countries
.
So King
Shishak of Egypt attacked
Jerusalem and seized
the treasures of the house of the
LORD
and of the royal
palace.
He took everything,
including
the gold
shields that
Solomon had made.
So Shishak king
of Egypt came
up
against
Jerusalem ,
and took
away
the treasures of the house of Jehovah,
and the
treasures
of the king's
house:
he took all
away:
he
took
away
also
the shields of
gold
which
Solomon had made.
Then
King Rehoboam made bronze
shields
in their place
and committed them to the care
of the captains of the guard on
duty
at
the entrance
to
the royal
palace
.
And
king Rehoboam made in their stead
shields
of
brass,
and committed them to the hands
of the captains of the guard ,
that
kept
the door
of
the king's
house
.
And whenever
the king entered the house of the
LORD,
the
guards
would
go
with
him
, bearing
the shields
, and later
they
would
return
them to
the guardroom
.
And it
was
so,
that,
as
oft
as
the king entered into
the house of Jehovah
, the guard
came
and
bare
them
, and brought
them back
into
the guard-chamber
.
Because
Rehoboam
humbled himself, the anger
of the
LORD
turned away
from him, and
He
did
not destroy him completely.
Indeed,
conditions
were
good
in Judah.
And
when
he
humbled himself, the wrath
of Jehovah
turned from him, so
as
not to
destroy him altogether:
and
moreover
in Judah there
were
good
things
`found'
.
Thus
King Rehoboam established
himself in Jerusalem .
He
was forty -
one years old when he became
king
, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the
LORD
had chosen from
all the tribes of Israel in
which
to put His Name .
His mother’s
name was Naamah the Ammonite
.
So
king Rehoboam strengthened
himself in Jerusalem ,
and
reigned:
for
Rehoboam
was forty and
one years old when he began
to
reign
, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which
Jehovah
had chosen out
of
all the tribes of Israel ,
to put his name there:
and
his mother's
name was Naamah the Ammonitess
.
And Rehoboam
did evil because he did
not
set his heart to seek the
LORD
.
And he
did that
which
was
evil ,
because he set not
his heart to seek Jehovah
.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, from
first to
last, are they not written in the records
of Shemaiah the Prophet and of Iddo the Seer concerning
the genealogies? There was
war
between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout
their
days
.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and
last, are they not written in the histories
of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer ,
after
the manner
of
genealogies? And
there were
wars
between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually
.
And Rehoboam rested
with his fathers and was buried in the City of David .
And his son Abijah
reigned in his place
.
And Rehoboam slept
with his fathers ,
and was buried in the city of David :
and Abijah
his son reigned in his stead
.
