2 Chronicles 12:2

Egypt Attacks Judah

1 Now ^ait came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and had strengthened himself, that ^bhe forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel along with him.

2 ^aAnd it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the Lord,

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.”
