| [1]And it came to pass, when RehoboamH7346 had establishedH3559[H8687] the kingdomH4438, and had strengthenedH2393 himself, he forsookH5800[H8804] the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and all Israel with himH3478. |
[1]And when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and made it strong, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him. |
| [2]And it came to pass, that in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927[H8804] against JerusalemH3389, because they had transgressedH4603[H8804] against the LORDH3068, |
[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) |
| [3]With twelve hundredH3967[H505] chariotsH7393, and threescoreH8346 thousandH505 horsemenH6571: and the peopleH5971 were without numberH4557 that cameH935[H8804] with him out of EgyptH4714; the LubimsH3864, the SukkiimsH5525, and the EthiopiansH3569. |
[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. |
| [4]And he tookH3920[H8799] the fencedH4694 citiesH5892 which pertained to JudahH3063, and cameH935[H8799] to JerusalemH3389. |
[4]And he took the strong cities which were of Judah, and came unto Jerusalem. |
| [5]Then cameH935[H8804] ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030 to RehoboamH7346, and to the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, that were gathered togetherH622[H8738] to JerusalemH3389 becauseH6440 of ShishakH7895, and saidH559[H8799] unto them, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, Ye have forsakenH5800[H8804] me, and therefore have I alsoH637 leftH5800[H8804] you in the handH3027 of ShishakH7895. |
[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. |
| [6]Whereupon the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478 and the kingH4428 humbledH3665[H8735] themselves; and they saidH559[H8799], The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662. |
[6]Then the princes of Israel, and the king humbled themselves, and said, The Lord is just. |
| [7]And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200[H8800] that they humbledH3665[H8738] themselves, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ShemaiahH8098, sayingH559[H8800], They have humbledH3665[H8738] themselves; therefore I will not destroyH7843[H8686] them, but I will grantH5414[H8804] them someH4592 deliveranceH6413; and my wrathH2534 shall not be poured outH5413[H8799] upon JerusalemH3389 by the handH3027 of ShishakH7895. |
[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. |
| [8]Nevertheless they shall be his servantsH5650; that they may knowH3045[H8799] my serviceH5656, and the serviceH5656 of the kingdomsH4467 of the countriesH776. |
[8]Nevertheless they shall be his servants: so shall they know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the earth. |
| [9]So ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927[H8799] against JerusalemH3389, and took awayH3947[H8799] the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004; he tookH3947[H8804] all: he carried awayH3947[H8799] also the shieldsH4043 of goldH2091 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.[H8804] |
[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. |
| [10]Instead of which kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 madeH6213[H8799] shieldsH4043 of brassH5178, and committedH6485[H8689] them to the handsH3027 of the chiefH8269 of the guardH7323[H8801], that keptH8104[H8802] the entranceH6607 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004. |
[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. |
| [11]And whenH1767 the kingH4428 enteredH935[H8800] into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the guardH7323[H8801] cameH935[H8804] and fetchedH5375[H8804] them, and brought them againH7725[H8689] into the guardH7323[H8801] chamberH8372. |
[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. |
| [12]And when he humbledH3665[H8736] himself, the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 turnedH7725[H8804] from him, that he would not destroyH7843[H8687] him altogetherH3617: and also in JudahH3063 thingsH1697 went wellH2896. |
[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. |
| [13]So kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 strengthenedH2388[H8691] himself in JerusalemH3389, and reignedH4427[H8799]: for RehoboamH7346 was oneH259 and fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427[H8800], and he reignedH4427[H8804] seventeenH7651[H6240] yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which the LORDH3068 had chosenH977[H8804] out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, to putH7760[H8800] his nameH8034 there. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was NaamahH5279 an AmmonitessH5985. |
[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. |
| [14]And he didH6213[H8799] evilH7451, because he preparedH3559[H8689] not his heartH3820 to seekH1875[H8800] the LORDH3068. |
[14]And he did evil: for he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord. |
| [15]Now the actsH1697 of RehoboamH7346, firstH7223 and lastH314, are they not writtenH3789[H8803] in the bookH1697 of ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030, and of IddoH5714 the seerH2374 concerning genealogiesH3187[H8692]? And there were warsH4421 between RehoboamH7346 and JeroboamH3379 continuallyH3117. |
[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. |
| [16]And RehoboamH7346 sleptH7901[H8799] with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912[H8735] in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AbijahH29 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8799. |
[16]And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David, and Abijah his son reigned in his stead. |
