1 H1961 And it came H7346 to pass, when Rehoboam H3559 had established H4438 the kingdom, H2394 and had strengthened H5800 himself, he forsook H8451 the law H3068 of the LORD, H3605 and all H3478 Israel with him.

2 H1961 And it came H2549 to pass, that in the fifth H8141 year H4428 of king H7346 Rehoboam H7895 Shishak H4428 king H4714 of Egypt H5927 came H5921 up against H3389 Jerusalem, H3588 because H4603 they had transgressed H3068 against the LORD,

3 H505 With twelve H3967 hundred H7393 chariots, H8346 and three score H7239 thousand H505 H6571 horsemen: H5971 and the people H369 were without H4557 number H935 that came H4714 with him out of Egypt; H3864 the Lubims, H5525 the Sukkiims, H3569 and the Ethiopians.

4 H3920 And he took H4694 the fenced H5892 cities H834 which H3063 pertained to Judah, H935 and came H3389 to Jerusalem.

5 H935 Then came H8098 Shemaiah H5030 the prophet H7346 to Rehoboam, H8269 and to the princes H3063 of Judah, H622 that were gathered H3389 together to Jerusalem H6440 because H7895 of Shishak, H559 and said H3541 to them, Thus H559 said H3068 the LORD, H5800 You have forsaken H5800 me, and therefore have I also left H3027 you in the hand H7895 of Shishak.

6 H8269 Whereupon the princes H3478 of Israel H4428 and the king H3665 humbled H559 themselves; and they said, H3068 The LORD H6662 is righteous.

7 H3068 And when the LORD H7200 saw H3665 that they humbled H1697 themselves, the word H3068 of the LORD H1961 came H8098 to Shemaiah, H559 saying, H3665 They have humbled H7843 themselves; therefore I will not destroy H5414 them, but I will grant H4592 them some H6413 deliverance; H2534 and my wrath H5413 shall not be poured H3389 out on Jerusalem H3027 by the hand H7895 of Shishak.

8 H3588 Nevertheless H5650 they shall be his servants; H3045 that they may know H5656 my service, H5656 and the service H4467 of the kingdoms H776 of the countries.

9 H7895 So Shishak H4428 king H4714 of Egypt H5927 came H5921 up against H3389 Jerusalem, H3947 and took H214 away the treasures H1004 of the house H3068 of the LORD, H214 and the treasures H4428 of the king’s H1004 house; H3947 he took H3605 all: H3947 he carried H4043 away also the shields H2091 of gold H834 which H8010 Solomon H6213 had made.

10 H8478 Instead H4428 of which king H7346 Rehoboam H6213 made H4043 shields H5178 of brass, H6485 and committed H3027 them to the hands H8269 of the chief H7323 of the guard, H8104 that kept H6607 the entrance H4428 of the king’s H1004 house.

11 H1767 And when H4428 the king H935 entered H1004 into the house H3068 of the LORD, H7323 the guard H935 came H5375 and fetched H7725 them, and brought H7725 them again H413 into H7323 the guard H8372 chamber.

12 H3665 And when he humbled H639 himself, the wrath H3068 of the LORD H7725 turned H7843 from him, that he would not destroy H3617 him altogether: H1571 and also H3063 in Judah H1697 things H1961 went H2896 well.

13 H4428 So king H7346 Rehoboam H2388 strengthened H3389 himself in Jerusalem, H4427 and reigned: H7346 for Rehoboam H259 was one H705 and forty H8141 years H1121 old H4427 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H7651 seventeen H6240 H8141 years H3389 in Jerusalem, H5892 the city H834 which H3068 the LORD H977 had chosen H3605 out of all H7626 the tribes H3478 of Israel, H7760 to put H8034 his name H8033 there. H517 And his mother’s H8034 name H5279 was Naamah H5984 an Ammonitess.

14 H6213 And he did H7451 evil, H3588 because H3559 he prepared H3820 not his heart H1875 to seek H3068 the LORD.

15 H1697 Now the acts H7346 of Rehoboam, H7223 first H314 and last, H3789 are they not written H1697 in the book H8098 of Shemaiah H5030 the prophet, H5714 and of Iddo H2374 the seer H3187 concerning genealogies? H4421 And there were wars H7346 between Rehoboam H3379 and Jeroboam H3605 continually. H3117

16 H7346 And Rehoboam H7901 slept H1 with his fathers, H6912 and was buried H5892 in the city H1732 of David: H29 and Abijah H1121 his son H4427 reigned H8478 in his stead.
