Chapter 12
And
it
came
to
passe
when
Rehoboam
had
established
the
kingdome,
and
had
strengthened
himselfe,
hee
forsooke
the
Law
of
the
Lord,
and
all
Israel
with
him.
2
And
it
came
to
passe,
that
in
the
fifth
yere
of
Rehoboam,
Shishak
king
of
Egypt
came
vp
against
Ierusalem,
(because
they
had
transgressed
against
the
Lord)
3
With
twelue
hundred
charets,
and
threescore
thousand
horsemen:
and
the
people
were
without
number
that
came
with
him
out
of
Egypt:
the
Lubims,
the
Sukkiims,
&
the
Ethiopians.
4
And
hee
tooke
the
fenced
cities
which
perteined
to
Iudah,
and
came
to
Ierusalem.
5
Then
came
Shemaiah
the
prophet
to
Rehoboam,
and
to
the
Princes
of
Iudah
that
were
gathered
together
to
Ierusalem
because
of
Shishak,
and
said
vnto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Ye
haue
forsaken
me,
and
therfore
haue
I
also
left
you
in
the
hand
of
Shishak.
6
Whereupon,
the
Princes
of
Israel,
and
the
king
humbled
themselues
and
they
saide,
The
Lord
is
righteous.
7
And
when
the
Lord
saw
that
they
humbled
themselues,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Shemaiah,
saying,
They
haue
humbled
themselues,
therefore
I
will
not
destroy
them,
but
I
will
grant
them
some
deliuerance,
and
my
wrath
shall
not
bee
powred
out
vpon
Ierusalem,
by
the
hand
of
Shishak.
8
Neuerthelesse
they
shalbe
his
seruants,
that
they
may
know
my
seruice,
and
the
seruice
of
the
kingdomes
of
the
countreys.
9
So
Shishak
king
of
Egypt
came
vp
against
Ierusalem,
and
tooke
away
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
the
treasures
of
the
kings
house,
hee
tooke
all:
he
caried
away
also
the
shields
of
gold,
which
Solomon
had
made.
10
In
stead
of
which,
king
Rehoboam
made
shields
of
brasse,
and
committed
them
to
the
hands
of
the
chiefe
of
the
guard,
that
kept
the
entrance
of
the
Kings
house.
11
And
when
the
king
entred
into
the
house
of
the
Lord,
the
guard
came
and
fet
them,
and
brought
them
againe
into
the
guard-chamber.
12
And
when
he
humbled
himselfe,
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
turned
from
him,
that
hee
would
not
destroy
him
altogether:
and
also
in
Iudah
things
went
well.
13
So
king
Rehoboam
strengthened
himselfe
in
Ierusalem,
and
reigned:
for
Rehoboam
was
one
and
fourty
yeeres
olde
when
hee
began
to
reigne,
and
he
reigned
seuenteen
yeeres
in
Ierusalem,
the
citie
which
the
Lord
had
chosen
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
to
put
his
Name
there:
and
his
mothers
name
was
Naamah
an
Ammonitesse.
14
And
hee
did
euill,
because
hee
prepared
not
his
heart
to
seeke
the
Lord.
15
Now
the
acts
of
Rehoboam
first
and
last,
are
they
not
written
in
the
booke
of
Shemaiah
the
Prophet,
and
of
Iddo
the
Seer,
concerning
genealogies?
and
there
were
warres
betweene
Rehoboam
&
Ieroboam
continually.
16
And
Rehoboam
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
was
buried
in
the
citie
of
Dauid,
and
Abiiah
his
sonne
reigned
in
his
stead.
