2 Chronicles 12:1-8

And it came to pass, when Rehoboam
<07346>

had established
<03559> (8687)

the kingdom
<04438>_,

and had strengthened
<02393>

himself, he forsook
<05800> (8804)

the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and all Israel
<03478>

with him.

And it came to pass, [that] in the fifth
<02549>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

Shishak
<07895>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

came up
<05927> (8804)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

because they had transgressed
<04603> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>_,

With twelve hundred
<03967> <0505>

chariots
<07393>_,

and threescore
<08346>

thousand
<0505>

horsemen
<06571>_:

and the people
<05971>

[were] without number
<04557>

that came
<0935> (8804)

with him out of Egypt
<04714>_;

the Lubims
<03864>_,

the Sukkiims
<05525>_,

and the Ethiopians
<03569>_.

And he took
<03920> (8799)

the fenced
<04694>

cities
<05892>

which [pertained] to Judah
<03063>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

Then came
<0935> (8804)

Shemaiah
<08098>

the prophet
<05030>

to Rehoboam
<07346>_,

and [to] the princes
<08269>

of Judah
<03063>_,

that were gathered together
<0622> (8738)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

because
<06440>

of Shishak
<07895>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Ye have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and therefore have I also
<0637>

left
<05800> (8804)

you in the hand
<03027>

of Shishak
<07895>_.

Whereupon the princes
<08269>

of Israel
<03478>

and the king
<04428>

humbled
<03665> (8735)

themselves; and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

[is] righteous
<06662>_.

And when the LORD
<03068>

saw
<07200> (8800)

that they humbled
<03665> (8738)

themselves, the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Shemaiah
<08098>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

They have humbled
<03665> (8738)

themselves; [therefore] I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)

them, but I will grant
<05414> (8804)

them some
<04592>

deliverance
<06413>_;

and my wrath
<02534>

shall not be poured out
<05413> (8799)

upon Jerusalem
<03389>

by the hand
<03027>

of Shishak
<07895>_.

{some: or, a little while}

Nevertheless they shall be his servants
<05650>_;

that they may know
<03045> (8799)

my service
<05656>_,

and the service
<05656>

of the kingdoms
<04467>

of the countries
<0776>_.
