1 As soon as Rehoboamhad established his authority as king, he and all his people abandoned the Law of the Lord. 2 In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign their disloyalty to the Lordwas punished. King Shishakof Egyptattacked Jerusalem3 with an army of twelve hundred chariots, sixty thousand cavalry, and more soldiers than could be counted, including Libyan, Sukkite, and Ethiopian12.3: Hebrew Cushite(s): Cush is the ancient name of the extensive territory south of the First Cataract of the Nile River. This region was called Ethiopia in Graeco-Roman times, and included within its borders most of modern Sudan and some of present-day Ethiopia (Abyssinia).troops. 4 He captured the fortified cities of Judah and advanced as far as Jerusalem.
5 Shemaiahthe prophet went to King Rehoboamand the Judean leaders who had gathered in Jerusalemto escape Shishak. He said to them, "This is the Lord's message to you: ‘You have abandoned me, so now I have abandoned you to Shishak.’"
6 The king and the leaders admitted that they had sinned, and they said, "What the Lordis doing is just."
7 When the Lordsaw this, he spoke again to Shemaiahand said to him, "Because they admit their sin, I will not destroy them. But when Shishakattacks, they will barely survive. Jerusalemwill not feel the full force of my anger, 8 but Shishak will conquer them, and they will learn the difference between serving me and serving earthly rulers."
9 1 K 10.16,17;2 Ch 9.15,16King Shishakcame to Jerusalemand took the treasures from the Temple and from the palace. He took everything, including the gold shields that King Solomonhad made. 10 To replace them, Rehoboammade bronze shields and entrusted them to the officers responsible for guarding the palace gates. 11 Every time the king went to the Temple, the guards carried the shields and then returned them to the guardroom. 12 Because he submitted to the Lord, the Lord's anger did not completely destroy him, and things went well for Judah.

He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he ruled for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lordhad chosen from all the territory of Israel as the place where he was to be worshiped.
