Berean Standard Bible
It
happened,
when
the
kingdom
of
Rehoboam was
established ,
and he
was
strong
, that
he forsook
the
law
of
Yahweh,
and all Israel with him.
After
Rehoboam had
established his
sovereignty
and royal
power
, he and all Israel with him forsook
the
Law
of
the
LORD
.
It
happened
in the fifth year of king
Rehoboam
, that
Shishak king of Egypt came up against
Jerusalem ,
because
they
had
trespassed
against
Yahweh,
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
with twelve
hundred
chariots, and
sixty
thousand
horsemen .
The
people
were
without
number
who came with him out of Egypt :
the
Lubim
, the
Sukkiim
, and the
Ethiopians
.
with 1,200
chariots, 60,000
horsemen ,
and
countless
troops
who came with him out of Egypt —Libyans
, Sukkites
, and Cushites
.
He took
the fortified cities which
pertained
to
Judah ,
and came to
Jerusalem.
He captured
the fortified cities of
Judah and came as
far
as
Jerusalem.
Now
Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam ,
and to
the princes
of Judah ,
who were
gathered together
to
Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus
says Yahweh,
You have forsaken me ,
therefore have
I also
left
you in
the hand of Shishak.
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
the princes
of Israel and the king humbled themselves ;
and they
said, Yahweh
is righteous.
So
the leaders
of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The
LORD
is righteous. ”
When Yahweh
saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh
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 on Jerusalem by
the
hand
of
Shishak.
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.
Nevertheless they shall
be
his servants, that they may know
my
service,
and
the service
of
the kingdoms
of the
countries
.
Nevertheless ,
they will
become
his servants, so
that they may learn
the difference
between
serving
Me
and
serving
the kings
of other
lands
. ”
So Shishak
king of Egypt came
up
against
Jerusalem ,
and took
away
the treasures of the house of Yahweh,
and
the treasures
of the king's
house:
he
took
all
away:
he took away
also
the shields
of
gold which
Solomon had made.
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.
King Rehoboam made in their place shields
of
brass,
and committed them to the hands
of the captains of the guard ,
who
kept
the door
of
the king's
house
.
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
.
It
was
so,
that
as
often
as
the king entered into
the house of Yahweh
, the guard
came
and
bore
them
, and brought
them back
into
the guard-chamber
.
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
.
When
he
humbled himself, the wrath
of Yahweh
turned from him, so
as
not to
destroy him altogether:
and
moreover
in
Judah
there
were good things
[found]
.
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
.
So
king Rehoboam strengthened
himself in Jerusalem ,
and
reigned:
for
Rehoboam
was forty-one years old when he began
to
reign
, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which
Yahweh
had chosen out
of
all the tribes of Israel ,
to put his name there:
and
his mother's
name was Naamah the Ammonitess
.
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
.
He
did that
which
was
evil ,
because he didn't
set his heart to seek Yahweh
.
And
Rehoboam
did evil because he did
not
set his heart to seek the
LORD
.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and
last, aren't
they written in the histories
of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer ,
after
the manner
of
genealogies? There were
wars
between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually
.
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
.
Rehoboam slept
with his fathers ,
and was buried in the city of David :
and Abijah
his son reigned in his place.
And
Rehoboam rested
with his fathers and was buried in the City of David .
And his son Abijah
reigned in his place.
