Shishak comes up
When Rehoboam had made the kingdom firm and was strong, he left the teaching of the Lord, and all Israel with him. In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they'd broken faith with the Lord, With twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the people who came with him out of Egypt were past counting — the Lubims, the Sukkites and the Ethiopians. He took the fortified cities of Judah and came to Jerusalem. Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them: This is what the Lord says. You've left me, so I've left you too in the hand of Shishak. Then the leaders of Israel and the king brought themselves low and said: The Lord is righteous. When the Lord saw they'd humbled themselves, he spoke to Shemaiah: 'They've humbled themselves, so I won't destroy them. I'll give them some relief, and my anger won't be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.' But they'll be his servants, so they can know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the temple of the Lord and the treasures of the king's house. He took it all. He took away the shields of gold too that Solomon had made. Instead of them King Rehoboam made shields of bronze and handed them over to the chief of the guard who kept the entrance of the king's house. When the king went into the temple of the Lord, the guard came and took them, and brought them back into the guardroom. When he brought himself low, the anger of the Lord turned from him, so he wouldn't wreck him completely. And things went well in Judah too.

Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them: This is what the Lord says. You've left me, so I've left you too in the hand of Shishak. Then the leaders of Israel and the king brought themselves low and said: The Lord is righteous. And when the Lord saw they'd brought themselves low, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah: They've brought themselves low, so I won't wreck them. But I'll give them some rescue, and my anger won't be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. But they'll be his servants, so they can know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. 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 it all.

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. 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, 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. And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 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. Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous. 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. Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. 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. 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. 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. 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.

The rest of Rehoboam
King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and ruled. Because Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he ruled seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonite. He did evil because he did not set his heart on seeking the Lord. Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer about family lines? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the time. Rehoboam died and was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son ruled in his place.

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. And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD. 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. And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
