And it came to pass, when RehoboamH7346 had establishedH3559 the kingdomH4438, and had strengthenedH2393 himself, he forsookH5800 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and all IsraelH3478 with him.
And it came to pass, that in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927 against JerusalemH3389, because they had transgressedH4603 against the LORDH3068,
With twelve hundredH3967+H505 chariotsH7393, and threescoreH8346 thousandH505 horsemenH6571: and the peopleH5971 were without numberH4557 that cameH935 with him out of EgyptH4714; the LubimsH3864, the SukkiimsH5525, and the EthiopiansH3569.
And he tookH3920 the fencedH4694 citiesH5892 which pertained to JudahH3063, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
Then cameH935 ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030 to RehoboamH7346, and to the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, that were gathered togetherH622 to JerusalemH3389 becauseH6440 of ShishakH7895, and saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye have forsakenH5800 me, and therefore have I alsoH637 leftH5800 you in the handH3027 of ShishakH7895.
Whereupon the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478 and the kingH4428 humbledH3665 themselves; and they saidH559, The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662.
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 that they humbledH3665 themselves, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ShemaiahH8098, sayingH559, They have humbledH3665 themselves; therefore I will not destroyH7843 them, but I will grantH5414 them someH4592 deliveranceH6413; and my wrathH2534 shall not be poured outH5413 upon JerusalemH3389 by the handH3027 of ShishakH7895. {some: or, a little while}
Nevertheless they shall be his servantsH5650; that they may knowH3045 my serviceH5656, and the serviceH5656 of the kingdomsH4467 of the countriesH776.
So ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927 against JerusalemH3389, and took awayH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004; he tookH3947 all: he carried awayH3947 also the shieldsH4043 of goldH2091 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.
Instead of which kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 madeH6213 shieldsH4043 of brassH5178, and committedH6485 them to the handsH3027 of the chiefH8269 of the guardH7323, that keptH8104 the entranceH6607 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004.
And whenH1767 the kingH4428 enteredH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the guardH7323 cameH935 and fetchedH5375 them, and brought them againH7725 into the guardH7323 chamberH8372.
And when he humbledH3665 himself, the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 from him, that he would not destroyH7843 him altogetherH3617: and also in JudahH3063 thingsH1697 went wellH2896. {and also…: or, and yet in Judah there were good things}
So kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 strengthenedH2388 himself in JerusalemH3389, and reignedH4427: for RehoboamH7346 was oneH259 and fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 seventeenH7651+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which the LORDH3068 had chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, to putH7760 his nameH8034 there. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was NaamahH5279 an AmmonitessH5985.
And he didH6213 evilH7451, because he preparedH3559 not his heartH3820 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068. {prepared: or, fixed}
Now the actsH1697 of RehoboamH7346, firstH7223 and lastH314, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030, and of IddoH5714 the seerH2374 concerning genealogiesH3187? And there were warsH4421 between RehoboamH7346 and JeroboamH3379 continuallyH3117. {book: Heb. words}
And RehoboamH7346 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AbijahH29 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.

So kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 strengthenedH2388 himself in JerusalemH3389, and reignedH4427: for RehoboamH7346 was oneH259 and fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 seventeenH7651+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which the LORDH3068 had chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, to putH7760 his nameH8034 there. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was NaamahH5279 an AmmonitessH5985.
And under their handH3027 was an armyH2428+H6635, threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967, that madeH6213 warH4421 with mightyH2428 powerH3581, to helpH5826 the kingH4428 against the enemyH341. {an army: Heb. the power of an army}
And UzziahH5818 preparedH3559 for them throughout all the hostH6635 shieldsH4043, and spearsH7420, and helmetsH3553, and habergeonsH8302, and bowsH7198, and slingsH7050 to cast stonesH68. {slings…: Heb. stones of slings}
And he madeH6213 in JerusalemH3389 enginesH2810, inventedH4284 by cunning menH2803, to be on the towersH4026 and upon the bulwarksH6438, to shootH3384 arrowsH2671 and greatH1419 stonesH68 withal. And his nameH8034 spreadH3318 far abroadH7350; for he was marvellouslyH6381 helpedH5826, tillH3588 he was strongH2388. {spread: Heb. went forth}
But when he was strongH2393, his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 to his destructionH7843: for he transgressedH4603 against the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and wentH935 into the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 to burn incenseH6999 upon the altarH4196 of incenseH7004.
SpeakH559 unto RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and to all IsraelH3478 in JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, sayingH559,
So they strengthenedH2388 the kingdomH4438 of JudahH3063, and made RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010 strongH553, threeH7969 yearsH8141: for threeH7969 yearsH8141 they walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of DavidH1732 and SolomonH8010.
And it shall be, when the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall have broughtH935 thee into the landH776 which he swareH7650 unto thy fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290, to giveH5414 thee greatH1419 and goodlyH2896 citiesH5892, which thou buildedstH1129 not,
And housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodH2898 things, which thou filledstH4390 not, and wellsH953 diggedH2672, which thou diggedstH2672 not, vineyardsH3754 and olive treesH2132, which thou plantedstH5193 not; when thou shalt have eatenH398 and be fullH7646;
Then bewareH8104 lest thou forgetH7911 the LORDH3068, which brought thee forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650. {bondage: Heb. bondmen or, servants}
But as for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 which dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, RehoboamH7346 reignedH4427 over them.
When thou hast eatenH398 and art fullH7646, then thou shalt blessH1288 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 for the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 thee.
BewareH8104 that thou forgetH7911 not the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, in not keepingH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his judgmentsH4941, and his statutesH2708, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117:
Lest when thou hast eatenH398 and art fullH7646, and hast builtH1129 goodlyH2896 housesH1004, and dweltH3427 therein;
And when thy herdsH1241 and thy flocksH6629 multiplyH7235, and thy silverH3701 and thy goldH2091 is multipliedH7235, and all that thou hast is multipliedH7235;
Then thine heartH3824 be lifted upH7311, and thou forgetH7911 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which brought thee forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650;
And JudahH3063 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and they provoked him to jealousyH7065 with their sinsH2403 which they had committedH2398, above all that their fathersH1 had doneH6213.
For they also builtH1129 them high placesH1116, and imagesH4676, and grovesH842, on every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086. {images: or, standing images, or, statues}
And there were also sodomitesH6945 in the landH776: and they didH6213 according to all the abominationsH8441 of the nationsH1471 which the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
But JeshurunH3484 waxed fatH8080, and kickedH1163: thou art waxen fatH8080, thou art grown thickH5666, thou art coveredH3780 with fatness; then he forsookH5203 GodH433 which madeH6213 him, and lightly esteemedH5034 the RockH6697 of his salvationH3444.
Also JudahH3063 keptH8104 not the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213.
Of the RockH6697 that begatH3205 thee thou art unmindfulH7876, and hast forgottenH7911 GodH410 that formedH2342 thee.
The princesH8269 of JudahH3063 were like them that removeH5253 the boundH1366: therefore I will pour outH8210 my wrathH5678 upon them like waterH4325.
And they shall answerH559, Because they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, who brought forthH3318 their fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and have taken holdH2388 upon otherH312 godsH430, and have worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath the LORDH3068 broughtH935 upon them all this evilH7451.
EphraimH669 is oppressedH6231 and brokenH7533 in judgmentH4941, because he willinglyH2974 walkedH1980 afterH310 the commandmentH6673.
O generationH1755, seeH7200 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. Have I been a wildernessH4057 unto IsraelH3478? a landH776 of darknessH3991? wherefore sayH559 my peopleH5971, We are lordsH7300; we will comeH935 no more unto thee? {We are…: Heb. We have dominion}
For the statutesH2708 of OmriH6018 are keptH8104, and all the worksH4639 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and ye walkH3212 in their counselsH4156; that I should makeH5414 thee a desolationH8047, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof an hissingH8322: therefore ye shall bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of my peopleH5971. {For the…: or, For he doth much keep the, etc} {desolation: or, astonishment}
When EphraimH669 spakeH1696 tremblingH7578, he exaltedH5375 himself in IsraelH3478; but when he offendedH816 in BaalH1168, he diedH4191.
According to their pastureH4830, so were they filledH7646; they were filledH7646, and their heartH3820 was exaltedH7311; therefore have they forgottenH7911 me.
Therefore I will be unto them as a lionH7826: as a leopardH5246 by the wayH1870 will I observeH7789 them:
I will meetH6298 them as a bearH1677 that is bereavedH7909 of her whelps, and will rendH7167 the caulH5458 of their heartH3820, and there will I devourH398 them like a lionH3833: the wildH7704 beastH2416 shall tearH1234 them. {wild…: Heb. beast of the field}
