| [1]And when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and made it strong, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him. |
[1]And it came to passe, that when Rehoboam had stablished the kingdome & became mightie, he forsooke the law of the Lorde, and all Israel with him |
| [2]Therefore in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had transgressed against the Lord) |
[2]And it fortuned, that in the fifth yere of king Rehoboam, Sesac the king of Egypt came vp against Hierusalem, because they had transgressed against the Lorde |
| [3]With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen, and the people were without number, that came with him from Egypt, even the Lubims, Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. |
[3]With twelue hundred charettes, and threescore thousand horsemen: And the people wer without number that came with him out of Egypt, Lubim, Suckim, and the blacke Moores |
| [4]And he took the strong cities which were of Judah, and came unto Jerusalem. |
[4]And he toke the strong cities in Iuda, and came to Hierusalem |
| [5]Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Ye have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hands of Shishak. |
[5]Then came Semeia the prophete to Rehoboam and to the Lordes of Iuda that were gathered together within Hierusalem for Sesac, and saide vnto them: Thus saith the Lorde, Ye haue left me, and therefore haue I also left you in the handes of Sesac |
| [6]Then the princes of Israel, and the king humbled themselves, and said, The Lord is just. |
[6]Whereupon the lordes of Israel and the king humbled themselues, and said: The Lorde 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 send them deliverance shortly, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. |
[7]And when the Lorde saw that they submitted them selues, the worde of the Lorde came to Semeia, saying: They submit them selues, therefore I wyl not destroye them, but I wyll deliuer them somewhat, and my wrath shall not be powred out vpon Hierusalem by the hand of Sesac |
| [8]Nevertheless they shall be his servants: so shall they know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the earth. |
[8]Neuerthelesse, they shalbe his seruauntes: to knowe what difference is betweene my seruice and the seruice of the kingdomes of the worlde |
| [9]Then Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house he took even all, and he carried away the shields of gold, which Solomon had made. |
[9]And so Sesac king of Egypt came to Hierusalem, & toke away the treasures of the house of the Lorde, and the treasures of the kinges house, he toke euen all: and he carryed away the shieldes of golde which Solomon made |
| [10]Instead whereof king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that waited at the door of the king's house. |
[10]In steade of which, king Rehoboam made shieldes of brasse, and committed them to the handes of the chiefe of the garde, & that kept the entraunce of the kinges house |
| [11]And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the guard came and bear them and brought them again unto the guard chamber. |
[11]And it came to passe, that when the king entred into the house of the Lorde, the garde came and fet them, & brought them againe vnto the gard chamber |
| [12]And because he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, that he would not destroy all together. And also in Judah the things prospered. |
[12]And when he humbled himselfe, the wrath of the Lorde turned from him, that he woulde not destroy altogether: and in Iuda all was well |
| [13]So king Rehoboam was strong in Jerusalem and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty year old, when he began to reign, and 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. |
[13]And so king Rehoboam waxed mightie, & raigned in Hierusalem: And Rehoboam was one and fourtie yeres olde when he began to raigne, and he raigned seuenteene yeres in Hierusalem, the citie which the Lorde had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there: And his mothers name was Naama, an Ammonitesse |
| [14]And he did evil: for he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord. |
[14]And he did euill, because he prepared not his heart to seeke the Lorde |
| [15]The acts also of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and Iddo the seer, in rehearsing the genealogy? And there was war alway between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. |
[15]The actes also of Rehoboam first and last, are they not written in the sayinges of Semeia the prophete, & of Iddo the sear, which noted the genealogie? And there was warre alway betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam |
| [16]And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David, and Abijah his son reigned in his stead. |
[16]And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the citie of Dauid, and Abia his sonne raigned in his steade |
