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.

And RehoboamH7346 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389, and builtH1129 citiesH5892 for defenceH4692 in JudahH3063.
He builtH1129 even BethlehemH1035, and EtamH5862, and TekoaH8620,
And BethzurH1049, and ShocoH7755, and AdullamH5725,
And GathH1661, and MareshahH4762, and ZiphH2128,
And AdoraimH115, and LachishH3923, and AzekahH5825,
And ZorahH6881, and AijalonH357, and HebronH2275, which are in JudahH3063 and in BenjaminH1144 fencedH4694 citiesH5892.
And he fortifiedH2388 the strong holdsH4694, and putH5414 captainsH5057 in them, and storeH214 of victualH3978, and of oilH8081 and wineH3196.
And in every several cityH5892 he put shieldsH6793 and spearsH7420, and made them exceedingH7235+H3966 strongH2388, having JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 on his side.
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 TartanH8661 and RabsarisH7249 and RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a greatH3515 hostH2426 against JerusalemH3389. And they went upH5927 and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. And when they were come upH5927, they cameH935 and stoodH5975 by the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295, which is in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526 fieldH7704. {great: Heb. heavy}
Now it came to pass in the fourteenthH702+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, that SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 against all the defencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and tookH8610 them.
And he shall passH2498 through JudahH3063; he shall overflowH7857 and go overH5674, he shall reachH5060 even to the neckH6677; and the stretching outH4298 of his wingsH3671 shall fillH4393 the breadthH7341 of thy landH776, O ImmanuelH6005+H410. {stretching…: Heb. fulness of the breadth of thy land shall be the stretchings out of his wings}
