2 Chronicles 12:2-9

2And it came to pass in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 RehoboamH7346, that ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came up against JerusalemH3389, because they had trespassed against Jehovah, 3with twelve hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and threescore thousandH505 horsemenH6571. And the peopleH5971 were without numberH4557 that cameH935 with him out of EgyptH4714: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians. 4And he tookH3920 the fortified citiesH5892 which pertained to JudahH3063, and cameH935 unto JerusalemH3389. 5Now ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346, and to the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, that were gatheredH622 together to JerusalemH3389 because of ShishakH7895, and saidH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Ye have forsaken me, therefore have I alsoH637 leftH5800 you in the handH3027 of ShishakH7895. 6Then the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478 and the kingH4428 humbledH3665 themselves; and they saidH559, Jehovah is righteousH6662. 7And when Jehovah sawH7200 that they humbledH3665 themselves, the wordH1697 of Jehovah came to ShemaiahH8098, sayingH559, They have humbledH3665 themselves: I will not destroyH7843 them; but I will grant them some deliveranceH6413, and my wrathH2534 shall not beH1961 pouredH5413 out upon JerusalemH3389 by the handH3027 of ShishakH7895. 8Nevertheless they shall beH1961 his servantsH5650, that they may knowH3045 my serviceH5656, and the serviceH5656 of the kingdomsH4467 of the countries.

9So ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 cameH5927 up against JerusalemH3389, and tookH3947 awayH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004: he tookH3947 all awayH3947: he tookH3947 awayH3947 also the shieldsH4043 of goldH2091 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.
