2 Chronicles 12:2-9

2In the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of Rehoboam’sH7346 reignH4428, becauseH3588 they had been unfaithfulH4603 to the LORDH3068, ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 attackedH5927H5921 JerusalemH3389 3with 1,200H505H3967 chariotsH7393, 60,000H8346H505 horsemenH6571,1 and countlessH369H4557 troopsH5971 whoH834 cameH935 with himH5973 out of EgyptH4714—LibyansH3864, SukkitesH5525, and CushitesH3569.2 4He capturedH3920 the fortifiedH4694 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and cameH935 as far asH5704 JerusalemH3389.

5Then ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030 cameH935 toH413 RehoboamH7346 and the leadersH8269 of JudahH3063 whoH834 had gatheredH622 atH413 JerusalemH3389 because ofH6440 ShishakH7895, and he said toH559 them, “This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘YouH859 have forsaken MeH5800; thereforeH637, IH589 have forsakenH5800 youH853 into the handH3027 of ShishakH7895.’”

6So the leadersH8269 of IsraelH3478 and the kingH4428 humbled themselvesH3665 and saidH559, “The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662.”

7When the LORDH3068 sawH7200 thatH3588 they had humbled themselvesH3665, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 toH413 ShemaiahH8098, sayingH559, “They have humbled themselvesH3665; I will notH3808 destroy themH7843, but will soon grantH5414H4592 them deliveranceH6413. My wrathH2534 will notH3808 be poured outH5413 on JerusalemH3389 throughH3027 ShishakH7895. 8NeverthelessH3588, they will becomeH1961 his servantsH5650, so that they may learnH3045 the difference between serving MeH5656 and servingH5656 the kingsH4467 of other landsH776.”

9So KingH4428 ShishakH7895 of EgyptH4714 attackedH5927H5921 JerusalemH3389 and seizedH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 andH853 of the royalH4428 palaceH1004. He tookH3947 everythingH3605, including the goldH2091 shieldsH4043 thatH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.
