Young's Literal Translation
After
Rehoboam had
established
his
sovereignty
and royal
power
, he and all Israel with him forsook
the
Law
of
the
LORD
.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
the
establishing
of
the
kingdom
of
Rehoboam ,
and at
his
strengthening
himself
, he hath
forsaken
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
cometh
to
pass,
in the fifth year of king
Rehoboam
, come
up
hath
Shishak king of Egypt against
Jerusalem --
because
they
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 a
thousand
and
two
hundred
chariots, and
with
sixty
thousand
horsemen, and there
is
no
number
to
the
people
who have
come
with him out of Egypt --
Lubim
, Sukkiim
, and Cushim
--
He captured
the fortified
cities of Judah and came
as
far
as
Jerusalem.
and
he captureth
the cities of the
bulwarks
that
`are'
to
Judah ,
and cometh
in
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 .’”
And
Shemaiah the prophet hath
come
in
unto
Rehoboam and the heads
of Judah who have
been
gathered unto
Jerusalem from
the
presence
of Shishak, and saith
to them, `Thus
said
Jehovah,
Ye
have forsaken Me, and
also,
I have left
you in
the hand of Shishak ;'
So
the leaders
of Israel and the king humbled
themselves
and said
, “The
LORD
is
righteous. ”
and
the heads
of Israel are
humbled,
and the king ,
and they
say
, `
Righteous `is'
Jehovah
. '
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
seeth
that they have
been
humbled, a
word of Jehovah
hath
been
unto
Shemaiah, saying, `
They have been
humbled; I do
not destroy them, and
I
have
given
to
them as
a
little
thing
for
an
escape,
and
I
pour
not out My
fury
in
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. ”
but
they become servants to
him
, and
they know
My
service,
and the service
of the
kingdoms
of
the
lands. '
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 .
And
Shishak king
of Egypt cometh
up
against
Jerusalem ,
and taketh
the treasures of the house of Jehovah,
and the
treasures
of the house
of
the
king
--
the
whole
he hath
taken
--
and
he
taketh
the shields of
gold
that 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 maketh
in their stead
shields
of
brass,
and hath
given
`
them '
a
charge
on
the hand
of the heads
of the runners
who
are
keeping
the opening
of
the house
of
the
king;
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
cometh
to
pass,
from
the time
of
the going
in
of the king
to
the house
of
Jehovah
, the runners
have
come
in
and
lifted
them
up
, and brought
them back
unto
the chamber
of
the
runners
.
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
in
his
being
humbled, turned back
from him hath
the
wrath
of
Jehovah
, so
as
not to
destroy to
completion;
and
also
, in Judah there
have
been
good
things
.
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.
And
king Rehoboam strengtheneth
himself in Jerusalem ,
and
reigneth;
for
a
son
of
forty and
two
years `is'
Rehoboam
in
his
reigning
, and seventeen years he
hath
reigned
in Jerusalem, the city that
Jehovah
hath
chosen to
put
His
name
there,
out
of
all the tribes of Israel ,
and
the
name of
his mother
`is'
Naamah the Ammonitess,
And Rehoboam
did
evil because
he did
not set
his heart to seek the
LORD
.
and he
doth
the
evil thing,
for
he hath
not prepared
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 .
And
the matters
of Rehoboam, the
first and
the
last, are they not written among
the matters
of Shemaiah the prophet ,
and of Iddo the seer ,
concerning genealogy
? And
the
wars
of
Rehoboam and Jeroboam `are'
all
the
days ;
And Rehoboam rested
with his fathers and was
buried in the City of David .
And his son Abijah
reigned
in his place
.
and Rehoboam lieth
with his fathers ,
and is
buried in the city of David ,
and reign
doth
Abijah
his son in his stead
.
