1 And it will be when Rehoboam established the kingdom, and when he strengthened himself, he forsook the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him
2 And it will be in the fifth year to king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, (for they transgressed against Jehovah,)
3 With a thousand and two hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen: and no number to the people that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, Sukkims, and the Cushites.
4 And he will take fortified cities which were to Judah and he will come even to Jerusalem.
5 And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and the chiefs of Judah who were gathered together to Jerusalem from the face of Shishak, and he will say to them, Thus said Jehovah, Ye forsook me, and I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
6 And the chiefs of Israel, and the king, will humble themselves; and they will say, Jehovah is just.
7 And in Jehovah's seeing that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah was to Shemaiah, saying, They humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, and I gave to them as a little for deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 For they shall be to him for servants; and they shall know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.
9 And Shishak king of Egypt will come up against Jerusalem, and will take the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king; he took the whole: and he will take the shields of gold that Solomon made.
10 And king Rehoboam will make instead of them, shields of brass, and he deposited upon the hand of the chiefs of the runners, those watching the entrance of the king's house.
11 And it will be as often as the king came into the house of Jehovah the runners came and lifted them up and turned them back to the chamber of the runners.
12 And in his humbling himself, the anger of Jehovah turned back from him, and not to destroy to the end: and also in Judah was good words.
