2 Chronicles 12:3-16

12:3

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>_.

12:4

And he took
<03920> (8799)

the fenced
<04694>

cities
<05892>

which [pertained] to Judah
<03063>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

12:5

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>_.

12:6

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>_.

12:7

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}

12:8

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>_.

12:9

So Shishak
<07895>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

came up
<05927> (8799)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and took away
<03947> (8799)

the treasures
<0214>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_;

he took
<03947> (8804)

all: he carried away
<03947> (8799)

also the shields
<04043>

of gold
<02091>

which Solomon
<08010>

had made
<06213> (8804)_.

12:10

Instead of which king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

made
<06213> (8799)

shields
<04043>

of brass
<05178>_,

and committed
<06485> (8689)

[them] to the hands
<03027>

of the chief
<08269>

of the guard
<07323> (8801)_,

that kept
<08104> (8802)

the entrance
<06607>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_.

12:11

And when
<01767>

the king
<04428>

entered
<0935> (8800)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the guard
<07323> (8801)

came
<0935> (8804)

and fetched
<05375> (8804)

them, and brought them again
<07725> (8689)

into the guard
<07323> (8801)

chamber
<08372>_.

12:12

And when he humbled
<03665> (8736)

himself, the wrath
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

turned
<07725> (8804)

from him, that he would not destroy
<07843> (8687)

[him] altogether
<03617>_:

and also in Judah
<03063>

things
<01697>

went well
<02896>_.

{and also...: or, and yet in Judah there were good things}

12:13

So king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

strengthened
<02388> (8691)

himself in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and reigned
<04427> (8799)_:

for Rehoboam
<07346>

[was] one
<0259>

and forty
<0705>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

seventeen
<07651> <06240>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

the city
<05892>

which the LORD
<03068>

had chosen
<0977> (8804)

out of all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

to put
<07760> (8800)

his name
<08034>

there. And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Naamah
<05279>

an Ammonitess
<05985>_.

12:14

And he did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>_,

because he prepared
<03559> (8689)

not his heart
<03820>

to seek
<01875> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{prepared: or, fixed}

12:15

Now the acts
<01697>

of Rehoboam
<07346>_,

first
<07223>

and last
<0314>_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<01697>

of Shemaiah
<08098>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and of Iddo
<05714>

the seer
<02374>

concerning genealogies
<03187> (8692)_?

And [there were] wars
<04421>

between Rehoboam
<07346>

and Jeroboam
<03379>

continually
<03117>_.

{book: Heb. words}

12:16

And Rehoboam
<07346>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_:

and Abijah
<029>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Abijah: also called, Abijam}
