2 Chronicles 12:1-11

1And it came to pass when the kingdomH4438 of RehoboamH7346 wasH1961 establishedH3559, and when he had becomeH1961 strong, [that] he forsook the lawH8451 of Jehovah, and all IsraelH3478 with him.

2And it came to pass in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 RehoboamH7346, because they had transgressed against Jehovah, that ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came up against JerusalemH3389,

3with twelve hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 and sixtyH8346 thousandH505 horsemenH6571; and the peopleH5971 were without numberH4557 that cameH935 with him out of EgyptH4714: LibyansH3864, Sukkites, and Ethiopians.

4And he tookH3920 the fortified citiesH5892 that belonged to JudahH3063, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.

5And ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346 and [to] the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 that had gatheredH622 together to JerusalemH3389 because of ShishakH7895, and saidH559 to them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I alsoH637 leftH5800 you in the handH3027 of ShishakH7895.

6And 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 a littleH4592 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.

9And ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 cameH5927 up against JerusalemH3389, and tookH3947 awayH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and the treasuresH214 of the king's houseH1004; he tookH3947 awayH3947 all; and he tookH3947 awayH3947 the shieldsH4043 of goldH2091 that SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.

10And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 madeH6213 in their stead shieldsH4043 of bronzeH5178, and committed them to the handsH3027 of the chiefH8269 of the couriersH7323 who keptH8104 the entranceH6607 of the king's houseH1004.

11And it wasH1961 so, that as oftenH1767 as the kingH4428 entered into the houseH1004 of Jehovah, the couriersH7323 cameH935 and fetched them, and broughtH935 them again into the chamber of the couriersH7323.
