2 Chroniques 12

1And it came to pass, when the kingdom^H4438 of Rehoboam^H7346 was established^H3559, and he was strong^H2393, that he forsook^H5800 the law^H8451 of Jehovah^H3068, and all Israel^H3478 with him. 2And it came to pass in the fifth^H2549 year^H8141 of king^H4428 Rehoboam^H7346, that Shishak^H7895 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714 came up^H5927 against Jerusalem^H3389, because they had trespassed^H4603 against Jehovah^H3068, 3with twelve hundred^H3967 chariots^H7393, and threescore^H8346 thousand^H505 horsemen^H6571. And the people^H5971 were without number^H4557 that came^H935 with him out of Egypt^H4714: the Lubim^H3864, the Sukkiim^H5525, and the Ethiopians^H3569. 4And he took^H3920 the fortified^H4694 cities^H5892 which pertained to Judah^H3063, and came^H935 unto Jerusalem^H3389. 5Now Shemaiah^H8098 the prophet^H5030 came^H935 to Rehoboam^H7346, and to the princes^H8269 of Judah^H3063, that were gathered together^H622 to Jerusalem^H3389 because^H6440 of Shishak^H7895, and said^H559 unto them, Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068, Ye have forsaken^H5800 me, therefore have I also^H637 left^H5800 you in the hand^H3027 of Shishak^H7895. 6Then the princes^H8269 of Israel^H3478 and the king^H4428 humbled^H3665 themselves; and they said^H559, Jehovah^H3068 is righteous^H6662. 7And when Jehovah^H3068 saw^H7200 that they humbled^H3665 themselves, the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 came to Shemaiah^H8098, saying^H559, They have humbled^H3665 themselves: I will not destroy^H7843 them; but I will grant^H5414 them some^H4592 deliverance^H6413, and my wrath^H2534 shall not be poured out^H5413 upon Jerusalem^H3389 by the hand^H3027 of Shishak^H7895. 8Nevertheless they shall be his servants^H5650, that they may know^H3045 my service^H5656, and the service^H5656 of the kingdoms^H4467 of the countries^H776. 9So Shishak^H7895 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714 came up^H5927 against Jerusalem^H3389, and took away^H3947 the treasures^H214 of the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068, and the treasures^H214 of the king's^H4428 house^H1004: he took^H3947 all away: he took away^H3947 also the shields^H4043 of gold^H2091 which Solomon^H8010 had made^H6213. 10And king^H4428 Rehoboam^H7346 made^H6213 in their stead shields^H4043 of brass^H5178, and committed^H6485 them to the hands^H3027 of the captains^H8269 of the guard^H7323, that kept^H8104 the door^H6607 of the king's^H4428 house^H1004. 11And it was so, that, as oft^H1767 as the king^H4428 entered^H935 into the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068, the guard^H7323 came^H935 and bare^H5375 them, and brought them back^H7725 into the guard^H7323-chamber^H8372. 12And when he humbled^H3665 himself, the wrath^H639 of Jehovah^H3068 turned^H7725 from him, so as not to destroy^H7843 him altogether^H3617: and moreover in Judah^H3063 there were good^H2896 things^H1697 found. 13So king^H4428 Rehoboam^H7346 strengthened^H2388 himself in Jerusalem^H3389, and reigned^H4427: for Rehoboam^H7346 was forty^H705 and one^H259 years^H8141 old^H1121 when he began to reign^H4427, and he reigned^H4427 seventeen^H7651 years^H8141 in Jerusalem^H3389, the city^H5892 which Jehovah^H3068 had chosen^H977 out of all the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478, to put^H7760 his name^H8034 there: and his mother's^H517 name^H8034 was Naamah^H5279 the Ammonitess^H5985. 14And he did^H6213 that which was evil^H7451, because he set^H3559 not his heart^H3820 to seek^H1875 Jehovah^H3068. 15Now the acts^H1697 of Rehoboam^H7346, first^H7223 and last^H314, are they not written^H3789 in the histories^H1697 of Shemaiah^H8098 the prophet^H5030 and of Iddo^H5714 the seer^H2374, after the manner of genealogies^H3187? And there were wars^H4421 between Rehoboam^H7346 and Jeroboam^H3379 continually^H3117. 16And Rehoboam^H7346 slept^H7901 with his fathers^H1, and was buried^H6912 in the city^H5892 of David^H1732: and Abijah^H29 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427 in his stead.
