14_2CH_12_01 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 .
14_2CH_12_02 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 ,
14_2CH_12_03 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 .
14_2CH_12_04 And he took the fenced cities which [ pertained ] to Judah , And came to Jerusalem .
14_2CH_12_05 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 .
14_2CH_12_06 whereupon the princes of Israel And the king humbled themselves ; And they said , the LORD [ Is ] righteous .
14_2CH_12_07 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 .
14_2CH_12_08 Nevertheless they shall be his servants ; that they may know my service , And the service of the kingdoms of the countries .
14_2CH_12_09 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 .
14_2CH_12_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 .
14_2CH_12_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 .
14_2CH_12_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 .
14_2CH_12_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_2CH_12_14 And he did evil , because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD .
14_2CH_12_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 .
14_2CH_12_16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers , And was buried in the city of David : And Abijah his son reigned in his stead .
