1 ♥ 📝 A nd it came to pass, when the kingdom^H4438 of Rehoboam^H7346 was established,^H3559 and he was strong,^H2393 that he forsook^H5800 the law^H8451 of Jehovah,^H3068 and all Israel^H3478 with him.

2 ♥ 📝 And it came to pass in the fifth^H2549 year^H8141 of king^H4428 Rehoboam,^H7346 that Shishak^H7895 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714 came up^H5927 against Jerusalem,^H3389 because they had trespassed^H4603 against Jehovah,^H3068

3 ♥ 📝 with twelve hundred^H3967 chariots,^H7393 and threescore^H8346 thousand^H505 horsemen.^H6571 And the people^H5971 were without number^H4557 that came^H935 with him out of Egypt:^H4714 the Lubim,^H3864 the Sukkiim,^H5525 and the Ethiopians.^H3569

4 ♥ 📝 And he took^H3920 the fortified^H4694 cities^H5892 which pertained to Judah,^H3063 and came^H935 unto Jerusalem.^H3389

5 ♥ 📝 Now Shemaiah^H8098 the prophet^H5030 came^H935 to Rehoboam,^H7346 and to the princes^H8269 of Judah,^H3063 that were gathered together^H622 to Jerusalem^H3389 because^H6440 of Shishak,^H7895 and said^H559 unto them, Thus saith^H559 Jehovah,^H3068 Ye have forsaken^H5800 me, therefore have I also^H637 left^H5800 you in the hand^H3027 of Shishak.^H7895

7 ♥ 📝 And when Jehovah^H3068 saw^H7200 that they humbled^H3665 themselves, the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 came to Shemaiah,^H8098 saying,^H559 They have humbled^H3665 themselves: I will not destroy^H7843 them; but I will grant^H5414 them some^H4592 deliverance,^H6413 and my wrath^H2534 shall not be poured out^H5413 upon Jerusalem^H3389 by the hand^H3027 of Shishak.^H7895

8 ♥ 📝 Nevertheless they shall be his servants,^H5650 that they may know^H3045 my service,^H5656 and the service^H5656 of the kingdoms^H4467 of the countries.^H776

9 ♥ 📝 So Shishak^H7895 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714 came up^H5927 against Jerusalem,^H3389 and took away^H3947 the treasures^H214 of the house^H1004 of Jehovah,^H3068 and the treasures^H214 of the king's^H4428 house:^H1004 he took^H3947 all away: he took away^H3947 also the shields^H4043 of gold^H2091 which Solomon^H8010 had made.^H6213

10 ♥ 📝 And king^H4428 Rehoboam^H7346 made^H6213 in their stead shields^H4043 of brass,^H5178 and committed^H6485 them to the hands^H3027 of the captains^H8269 of the guard,^H7323 that kept^H8104 the door^H6607 of the king's^H4428 house.^H1004

11 ♥ 📝 And it was so, that, as oft^H1767 as the king^H4428 entered^H935 into the house^H1004 of Jehovah,^H3068 the guard^H7323 came^H935 and bare^H5375 them, and brought them back^H7725 into the guard -^H7323 chamber.^H8372

12 ♥ 📝 And when he humbled^H3665 himself, the wrath^H639 of Jehovah^H3068 turned^H7725 from him, so as not to destroy^H7843 him altogether:^H3617 and moreover in Judah^H3063 there were good^H2896 things^H1697 [found].

14 ♥ 📝 And he did^H6213 that which was evil,^H7451 because he set^H3559 not his heart^H3820 to seek^H1875 Jehovah.^H3068

15 ♥ 📝 Now the acts^H1697 of Rehoboam,^H7346 first^H7223 and last,^H314 are they not written^H3789 in the histories^H1697 of Shemaiah^H8098 the prophet^H5030 and of Iddo^H5714 the seer,^H2374 after the manner of genealogies?^H3187 And there were wars^H4421 between Rehoboam^H7346 and Jeroboam^H3379 continually.^H3117

16 ♥ 📝 And Rehoboam^H7346 slept^H7901 with his fathers,^H1 and was buried^H6912 in the city^H5892 of David:^H1732 and Abijah^H29 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427 in his stead.
