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.

Behold, we are servantsH5650 this dayH3117, and for the landH776 that thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1 to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodH2898 thereof, behold, we are servantsH5650 in it:
Because thou servedstH5647 not the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with joyfulnessH8057, and with gladnessH2898 of heartH3824, for the abundanceH7230 of all things;
O LORDH3068 our GodH430, other lordsH113 besideH2108 thee have had dominionH1166 over us: but by thee only will we make mentionH2142 of thy nameH8034.
Now these are the nationsH1471 which the LORDH3068 leftH3240, to proveH5254 IsraelH3478 by them, even as many of Israel as had not knownH3045 all the warsH4421 of CanaanH3667;
