BibleText:

1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD [Yahweh], 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 [Yahweh],
3 With twelve hundred chariots, and sixty 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 to them, Thus says the LORD [Yahweh], You 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 [Yahweh] [is] righteous.
7 And when the LORD [Yahweh] saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD [Yahweh] came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; [therefore] I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath will not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Nevertheless they will 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 [Yahweh], 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 [Yahweh], 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 [Yahweh] 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 [Yahweh] 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 [Yahweh].
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.
