| 12:1 | And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him. |
| 12:2 | And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD, |
| 12:3 | With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. |
| 12:4 | And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. |
| 12:5 | Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. |
| 12:6 | Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous. |
| 12:7 | 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 grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. |
| 12:8 | Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. |
| 12:9 | So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made. |
| 12:10 | Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house. |
| 12:11 | And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber. |
| 12:12 | And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well. |
| 12:13 | So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he 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. |
| 12:14 | And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD. |
| 12:15 | Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. |
| 12:16 | And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead. |

| 12:11 | ויהי מדי בוא המלך בית יהוה באו הרצים ונשׂאום והשׁבום אל תא הרצים׃ |
| 12:12 | ובהכנעו שׁב ממנו אף יהוה ולא להשׁחית לכלה וגם ביהודה היה דברים טובים׃ |
| 12:13 | ויתחזק המלך רחבעם בירושׁלם וימלך כי בן ארבעים ואחת שׁנה רחבעם במלכו ושׁבע עשׂרה שׁנה מלך בירושׁלם העיר אשׁר בחר יהוה לשׂום את שׁמו שׁם מכל שׁבטי ישׂראל ושׁם אמו נעמה העמנית׃ |
| 12:14 | ויעשׂ הרע כי לא הכין לבו לדרושׁ את יהוה׃ |
| 12:15 | ודברי רחבעם הראשׁנים והאחרונים הלא הם כתובים בדברי שׁמעיה הנביא ועדו החזה להתיחשׂ ומלחמות רחבעם וירבעם כל הימים׃ |
| 12:16 | וישׁכב רחבעם עם אבתיו ויקבר בעיר דויד וימלך אביה בנו תחתיו׃ |
| 12:1 | And it cometh to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he hath forsaken the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him. |
| 12:2 | And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, come up hath Shishak king of Egypt against Jerusalem -- because they trespassed against Jehovah -- |
| 12:3 | with a thousand and two hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen, and there is no number to the people who have come with him out of Egypt -- Lubim, Sukkiim, and Cushim -- |
| 12:4 | and he captureth the cities of the bulwarks that `are' to Judah, and cometh in unto Jerusalem. |
| 12:5 | And Shemaiah the prophet hath come in unto Rehoboam and the heads of Judah who have been gathered unto Jerusalem from the presence of Shishak, and saith to them, `Thus said Jehovah, Ye have forsaken Me, and also, I have left you in the hand of Shishak;' |
| 12:6 | and the heads of Israel are humbled, and the king, and they say, `Righteous `is' Jehovah.' |
| 12:7 | And when Jehovah seeth that they have been humbled, a word of Jehovah hath been unto Shemaiah, saying, `They have been humbled; I do not destroy them, and I have given to them as a little thing for an escape, and I pour not out My fury in Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak; |
| 12:8 | but they become servants to him, and they know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.' |
| 12:9 | And Shishak king of Egypt cometh up against Jerusalem, and taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king -- the whole he hath taken -- and he taketh the shields of gold that Solomon had made; |
| 12:10 | and king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath given `them' a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king; |
| 12:11 | and it cometh to pass, from the time of the going in of the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners have come in and lifted them up, and brought them back unto the chamber of the runners. |
| 12:12 | And in his being humbled, turned back from him hath the wrath of Jehovah, so as not to destroy to completion; and also, in Judah there have been good things. |
| 12:13 | And king Rehoboam strengtheneth himself in Jerusalem, and reigneth; for a son of forty and two years `is' Rehoboam in his reigning, and seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah hath chosen to put His name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother `is' Naamah the Ammonitess, |
| 12:14 | and he doth the evil thing, for he hath not prepared his heart to seek Jehovah. |
| 12:15 | And the matters of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written among the matters of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogy? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam `are' all the days; |
| 12:16 | and Rehoboam lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David, and reign doth Abijah his son in his stead. |
