¹ Shishak Invades Judah
At the height of his power, after he had consolidated his rule, Rehoboam abandoned the LORD’s Law, along with all of Israel with him. ² Because he had been unfaithful to the LORD, during the fifth year of King Rehoboam’s reign, King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem ³ with 1,200 chariots and 60,000 cavalry. The Lubim, Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians who invaded from Egypt with Shishak were innumerable. ⁴ Shishak captured the fortified cities of Judah and invaded as far as Jerusalem.
⁵ Right then, Shemaiah the prophet approached Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he told them, “This is what the LORD says: ‘You abandoned me, so I’ve abandoned you to Shishak.’”
⁶ In response, the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and declared, “The LORD is righteous.”
⁷ When the LORD observed that they had humbled themselves, the LORD spoke to Shemaiah, “They have humbled themselves, so I won’t destroy them. Instead, I’ll grant them some deliverance by not pouring out my indignation on Jerusalem, using Shishak to do it. ⁸ Nevertheless, they will become his slaves so they may learn to differentiate between what it means to serve me and to serve the kingdoms of these nations.” ⁹ So King Shishak of Egypt invaded Jerusalem and looted the treasure stores in the LORD’s Temple and in the royal palace. He took everything, including the golden shields that Solomon had made. ¹⁰ After this, King Rehoboam made shields out of bronze to take their place, committing them to the care and custody of the commanders of those who guarded the entrance to the royal palace. ¹¹ As often as the king entered the LORD’s Temple, the guards came and transported the shields to the Temple and then brought them back to the guard’s quarters. ¹² After he had humbled himself, the LORD stopped being angry with him, and did not destroy Rehoboam completely. Furthermore, conditions became good in Judah.

⁹ However, you cast us off and made us ashamed! You did not even march with our armies! ¹⁰ You made us retreat from our oppressors. Our enemies ransacked us. ¹¹ You handed us over to be slaughtered like sheep and you scattered us among the nations. ¹² You sold out your people for nothing, and made no profit at that price. ¹³ You made us a laughing stock to our neighbors, a source of mockery and derision to those around us. ¹⁴ You made us an object lesson among the nations; people shake their heads at us. ¹⁵ My dishonor tortures me continuously; the shame on my face overwhelms me ¹⁶ because of the voice of the one who mocks and reviles, because of the enemy and the avenger. ¹⁷ All this came upon us, yet we did not forsake you, and we have not dealt falsely with your covenant; ¹⁸ Our hearts have not turned away; our steps have not swerved from your path. ¹⁹ Nevertheless, you crushed us in the lair of jackals, and covered us in deep darkness. ²⁰ If we had forgotten the name of our God or lifted our hands to a foreign god, ²¹ wouldn’t God find out since he knows the secrets of the heart? ²² For your sake we are being killed all day long. We are thought of as sheep to be slaughtered. ²³ Wake up! Why are you asleep, Lord? Get up! Don’t cast us off forever! ²⁴ Why are you hiding your face? Why are you ignoring our affliction and oppression? ²⁵ For we have collapsed in the dust; our bodies cling to the ground. ²⁶ Arise! Deliver us! Redeem us according to your gracious love!
