King James Version
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
Rehoboam had established the
kingdom,
and had
strengthened
himself
, he forsook the law of the LORD ,
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,
that
in the fifth year of king
Rehoboam
Shishak king of Egypt came up against
Jerusalem ,
because
they
had
transgressed
against
the
LORD,
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
Lubims
, the
Sukkiims
, and the
Ethiopians
.
He captured
the fortified
cities of
Judah and came as
far
as
Jerusalem.
And
he took
the fenced
cities which
pertained
to
Judah ,
and came to
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. ’”
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.
So
the leaders
of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “
The LORD is righteous. ”
Whereupon
the princes
of Israel and the king humbled themselves ;
and they
said, The LORD 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 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.
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 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.
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
.
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
.
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 when
the king entered into
the house of the LORD, the guard
came
and
fetched
them
, and brought
them again
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 the LORD turned from him, that
he would
not destroy him altogether:
and
also
in Judah things
went
well
.
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 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
.
And Rehoboam
did evil because he did
not set
his heart to seek the LORD.
And he
did evil ,
because he prepared
not his heart to seek the LORD.
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 book
of Shemaiah the prophet ,
and of Iddo the seer concerning 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
.
