Chapter 12
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Rehoboam
had
established
the
kingdom,
and
had
strengthened
himself,
he
forsook
the
law
of
the
Lord,
and
all
Israel
with
him.
2
And
it
came
to
pass,
that
in
the
fifth
year
of
king
Rehoboam
Shishak
king
of
Egypt
came
up
against
Jerusalem,
because
they
had
transgressed
against
the
Lord,
3
With
twelve
hundred
chariots,
and
threescore
thousand
horsemen:
and
the
people
were
without
number
that
came
with
him
out
of
Egypt;
the
Lubims,
the
Sukkiims,
and
the
Ethiopians.
4
And
he
took
the
fenced
cities
which
pertained
to
Judah,
and
came
to
Jerusalem.
5
Then
came
Shemaiah
the
prophet
to
Rehoboam,
and
to
the
princes
of
Judah,
that
were
gathered
together
to
Jerusalem
because
of
Shishak,
and
said
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Ye
have
forsaken
me,
and
therefore
have
I
also
left
you
in
the
hand
of
Shishak.
6
Whereupon
the
princes
of
Israel
and
the
king
humbled
themselves;
and
they
said,
The
Lord
is
righteous.
7
And
when
the
Lord
saw
that
they
humbled
themselves,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Shemaiah,
saying,
They
have
humbled
themselves;
therefore
I
will
not
destroy
them,
but
I
will
grant
them
some
deliverance;
and
my
wrath
shall
not
be
poured
out
upon
Jerusalem
by
the
hand
of
Shishak.
8
Nevertheless
they
shall
be
his
servants;
that
they
may
know
my
service,
and
the
service
of
the
kingdoms
of
the
countries.
9
So
Shishak
king
of
Egypt
came
up
against
Jerusalem,
and
took
away
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
the
treasures
of
the
king’s
house;
he
took
all:
he
carried
away
also
the
shields
of
gold
which
Solomon
had
made.
10
Instead
of
which
king
Rehoboam
made
shields
of
brass,
and
committed
them
to
the
hands
of
the
chief
of
the
guard,
that
kept
the
entrance
of
the
king’s
house.
11
And
when
the
king
entered
into
the
house
of
the
Lord,
the
guard
came
and
fetched
them,
and
brought
them
again
into
the
guard
chamber.
12
And
when
he
humbled
himself,
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
turned
from
him,
that
he
would
not
destroy
him
altogether:
and
also
in
Judah
things
went
well.
13
So
king
Rehoboam
strengthened
himself
in
Jerusalem,
and
reigned:
for
Rehoboam
was
one
and
forty
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
seventeen
years
in
Jerusalem,
the
city
which
the
Lord
had
chosen
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
to
put
his
name
there.
And
his
mother’s
name
was
Naamah
an
Ammonitess.
14
And
he
did
evil,
because
he
prepared
not
his
heart
to
seek
the
Lord.
15
Now
the
acts
of
Rehoboam,
first
and
last,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
Shemaiah
the
prophet,
and
of
Iddo
the
seer
concerning
genealogies?
And
there
were
wars
between
Rehoboam
and
Jeroboam
continually.
16
And
Rehoboam
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
in
the
city
of
David:
and
Abijah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
