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.”  
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.
