Revised Version 1895
2 Chronicles 12:2-9
2And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 RehoboamH7346, that ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 cameH1961 upH5927 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, becauseH3588 they had trespassed againstH5921 the LORDH3068,
3with twelve hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and threescore thousandH505 horsemenH6571: and the peopleH5971 were withoutH369 numberH4557 that cameH935 with him outH935 of EgyptH4714; the LubimH3864, the SukkiimH5525, and the EthiopiansH3569.
4And he tookH3920 the fenced citiesH5892 whichH834 pertained to JudahH3063, and cameH935 unto JerusalemH3389.
5NowH935 ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346, and to the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, that were gatheredH622 togetherH622 to JerusalemH3389 becauseH834 of ShishakH7895, and saidH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, Ye have forsaken meH413, therefore have I also leftH5800 youH859 in the handH3027 of ShishakH7895.
6Then the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478 and the kingH4428 humbledH3665 themselvesH3665; and they saidH559, The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662.
7And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 that they humbledH3665 themselvesH1992, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to ShemaiahH8098, sayingH559, They have humbledH3665 themselvesH1992; I will notH3808 destroyH7843 them: but I will grantH5414 them someH1992 deliveranceH6413, and my wrathH2534 shall notH3808 be pouredH5413 outH413 uponH1961 JerusalemH3389 by the handH3027 of ShishakH7895.
8NeverthelessH3588 they shall be his servantsH5650; that they may knowH3045 my serviceH5656, and the serviceH5656 of the kingdomsH4467 of the countriesH776.
9SoH6213 ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 cameH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, and tookH3947 awayH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004; he tookH3947 allH3605 awayH3947: he tookH3947 awayH3947 also the shieldsH4043 of goldH2091 whichH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.
