2 Chronicles 12:5

Compare all

3 with twelve hundred chariots, sixty thousand horsemen, and people without number who came with him out of Egypt—^athe Lubim and the Sukkiim and the Ethiopians.

4 And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came to Jerusalem.

5 Then ^aShemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says the Lord: ‘You have forsaken Me, and therefore I also have left you in the hand of Shishak.’ ”

6 So the leaders of Israel and the king ^ahumbled themselves; and they said, ^b“The Lord is righteous.”

7 Now when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, ^athe word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance. My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8 Nevertheless ^athey will be his servants, that they may distinguish ^bMy service from the service of the kingdoms of the nations.”

9 ^aSo Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house; he took everything. He also carried away the gold shields which Solomon had ^bmade.

10 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and committed them ^ato the hands of the captains of the guard, who guarded the doorway of the king’s house.
