V.1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam 7346 had established 3559-53 the kingdom, 4438 and had strengthened 2394 himself, he forsook 5800-1 the law 8451 of the LORD, 3068 and all Israel 3478 with him.

12:2 And it came to pass, [that] in the fifth 2549 year 8141 of king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 Shishak 7895 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 came up 5927-1 against Jerusalem, 3389 because they had transgressed 4603-1 against the LORD, 3068

12:3 With twelve hundred 3967 505 chariots, 7393 and threescore 8346 thousand 505 horsemen: 6571 and the people 5971 [were] without number 4557 that came 935-1 with him out of Egypt; 4714 the Lubims, 3864 the Sukkiims, 5525 and the Ethiopians. 3569

12:4 And he took 3920-4 the fenced 4694 cities 5892 which [pertained] to Judah, 3063 and came 935-4 to Jerusalem. 3389

12:5 Then came 935-1 Shemaiah 8098 the prophet 5030 to Rehoboam, 7346 and [to] the princes 8269 of Judah, 3063 that were gathered 622-8 together to Jerusalem 3389 because 6440 of Shishak, 7895 and said 559-4 unto them, Thus saith 559-1 the LORD, 3068 Ye have forsaken 5800-1 me, and therefore have I also 637 left 5800-1 you in the hand 3027 of Shishak. 7895

12:6 Whereupon the princes 8269 of Israel 3478 and the king 4428 humbled 3665-11 themselves; and they said, 559-4 The LORD 3068 [is] righteous. 6662

12:7 And when the LORD 3068 saw 7200-2 that they humbled 3665-8 themselves, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came to Shemaiah, 8098 saying, 559-2 They have humbled 3665-8 themselves; [therefore] I will not destroy 7843-55 them, but I will grant 5414-1 them some 4592 deliverance; 6413 and my wrath 2534 shall not be poured out 5413-4 upon Jerusalem 3389 by the hand 3027 of Shishak. 7895

12:8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; 5650 that they may know 3045-4 my service, 5656 and the service 5656 of the kingdoms 4467 of the countries. 776

12:9 So Shishak 7895 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 came up 5927-4 against Jerusalem, 3389 and took 3947-4 away the treasures 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and the treasures 214 of the king's 4428 house; 1004 he took 3947-1 all: he carried away 3947-4 also the shields 4043 of gold 2091 which Solomon 8010 had made. 6213-1

12:10 Instead of which king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 made 6213-4 shields 4043 of brass, 5178 and committed 6485-52 [them] to the hands 3027 of the chief 8269 of the guard, 7323-5 that kept 8104-6 the entrance 6607 of the king's 4428 house. 1004

12:11 And when 1767 the king 4428 entered 935-2 into the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 the guard 7323-5 came 935-1 and fetched 5375-1 them, and brought them again 7725-52 into the guard 7323-5 chamber. 8372

12:12 And when he humbled 3665-9 himself, the wrath 639 of the LORD 3068 turned 7725-1 from him, that he would not destroy 7843-53 [him] altogether: 3617 and also in Judah 3063 things 1697 went well. 2896

12:13 So king 4428 Rehoboam 7346 strengthened 2388-101 himself in Jerusalem, 3389 and reigned: 4427-4 for Rehoboam 7346 [was] one 259 and forty 705 years 8141 old 1121 when he began to reign, 4427-2 and he reigned 4427-1 seventeen 7651 6240 years 8141 in Jerusalem, 3389 the city 5892 which the LORD 3068 had chosen 977-1 out of all the tribes 7626 of Israel, 3478 to put 7760-2 his name 8034 there. And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Naamah 5279 an Ammonitess. 5984

12:14 And he did 6213-4 evil, 7451 because he prepared 3559- 52 not his heart 3820 to seek 1875-2 the LORD. 3068

12:15 Now the acts 1697 of Rehoboam, 7346 first 7223 and last, 314 [are] they not written 3789-7 in the book 1697 of Shemaiah 8098 the prophet, 5030 and of Iddo 5714 the seer 2374 concerning genealogies? 3187-99 And [there were] wars 4421 between Rehoboam 7346 and Jeroboam 3379 continually. 3605 3117
