1 After Rehoboamhad established his sovereignty and royal power, he and all Israel12:1 That is, Judah; in 2 Chronicles, Judah is occasionally called Israel, as representative of the true Israel.with him forsook the Law of the LORD. 2 In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, Shishakking of Egyptattacked Jerusalem3 with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen,12:3 Or charioteersand countless troops who came with him out of Egypt— Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.12:3 That is, people from the upper Nile region4 He captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.
5 Then Shemaiahthe prophet came to Rehoboamand the leaders of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalembecause of Shishak, and he said to them, "This is what the LORD says: ‘You have forsaken Me; therefore, I have forsaken you into the hand of Shishak.’"
6 So the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, "The LORD is righteous."
7 When the LORD saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but will soon grant them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalemthrough Shishak. 8 Nevertheless, they will become his servants, so that they may learn the difference between serving Me and serving the kings of other lands."
9 So King Shishakof Egyptattacked Jerusalemand seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including the gold shields that Solomonhad made.
10 Then King Rehoboammade bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace. 11 And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would go with him, bearing the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
12 Because Rehoboam humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, and He did not destroy him completely. Indeed, conditions were good in Judah.
Rehoboam’s Reign and Death
13 Thus King Rehoboamestablished himself in Jerusalemand reigned. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamahthe Ammonite. 14 And Rehoboam did evil because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Shemaiahthe Prophet and of Iddothe Seer concerning the genealogies? There was war between Rehoboamand Jeroboamthroughout their days. 16 And Rehoboamrested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Abijah12:16 Abijah is a variant of Abijam; see 1 Kings 14:31.reigned in his place.
