2 Chronicles 12
12:1And it came to pass as the kingdom of Rehoboam was prepared, and as he was secure, he abandoned the law of the lord, and all Israel with him.
12:2And it came to pass in the fifth year of the kingdom of Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt ascended up against Jerusalem, (for they sinned before the lord),
12:3with a thousand and two hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen, and there was no count of the multitude coming with him out of Egypt -- Lubim, Sukkiim, and Ethiopians.
12:4And they secured the fortified cities which were in Judah, and they came to Jerusalem.
12:5And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the rulers of Judah, the ones gathering together in Jerusalem from the face of Shishak. And he said to them, Thus said the lord, You abandoned me, and I shall abandon you into the hand of Shishak.
12:6And the rulers of Israel and the king were shamed, and they said, the lord is just.
12:7And when the lord saw that they were ashamed, the word of the lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They felt shame, I shall not utterly ruin them, but I will appoint them as small for deliverance, and in no way shall my rage be dripped over Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak,
12:8for they will be to him for servants, and they shall know my servitude, and the servitude of the kingdom of the land.
12:9And Shishak king of Egypt ascended against Jerusalem, and he took the treasures of the ones in the house of the lord, and the treasures of the ones in the house of the king -- he took all, and he took the shields of gold which Solomon made.
12:10And king Rehoboam made shields of brass instead of them, and placed them unto the hands of the rulers, of the ones being bodyguards, of the ones guarding the gatehouse of the king.
12:11And it came to pass when it was fit in the entering by the king into the house of the lord, there went in also the bodyguards and they took the shields, and then restored them unto the place of the bodyguards.
12:12And in his feeling ashamed, the anger of the lord was turned from him, and not unto corruption unto the end, for in Judah there were good matters.
12:13And king Rehoboam grew strong in Jerusalem, and reigned. Rehoboam was a son of forty and one years old in his taking reign. And seventeen years he reigned in Jerusalem, in the city which the lord chose to name his name there, from out of all the tribes of the sons of Israel. And the name to his mother was Naammah the Ammonitess.
12:14And he acted wickedly, for he did not straighten out his heart to seek after the lord.
12:15And the words of Rehoboam, the first and last, behold are they not written in the words of Shemaiah the prophet, and Iddo the seer to trace descent and his actions. And Rehoboam waged war and Jeroboam all the days.
12:16And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was entombed in the city of David. And Abijah his son reigned instead of him.
