When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the LORD’s law, and all Israel with him. 2Ch 11:172Ch 12:132Ch 26:13-161Ki 14:22-241Ki 12:171Ki 9:92Ch 11:32Ki 17:19 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against the LORD, 1Ki 11:402Ch 7:19-201Ch 28:91Ki 14:24-262Ch 36:14-19Isa 63:10Jdg 2:13-15Jer 2:19 with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians. 2Ch 16:8Nam 3:9Dan 11:431Sa 13:52Ch 14:122Ch 14:92Sa 10:18Ezk 30:5 He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 2Ch 11:5-122Ki 18:17Isa 10:11Isa 36:1Isa 8:8Jer 5:10 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “The LORD says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’” 2Ch 11:22Ch 15:21Ki 12:221Ch 28:92Ch 12:1-22Sa 24:14Deu 28:15-68Jdg 10:9-14
Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “The LORD is righteous.” Exo 9:27Dan 9:141Ki 8:37-392Ch 32:262Ch 33:122Ch 33:192Ch 33:23Dan 5:22
When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 2Ch 34:251Ki 21:28-29Isa 42:252Ch 34:212Ki 13:232Ki 13:4-7Amo 7:6-8Jdg 10:15-16 Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.” Deu 28:47-48Isa 26:13Hos 8:10Jdg 3:1Jer 10:24Neh 9:36
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 1Ki 10:16-172Ch 9:15-161Ki 14:25-282Ki 16:81Ki 15:182Ki 18:15-16Lam 1:10 King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house. 1Ch 11:251Ki 14:272Sa 23:232Sa 8:18Lam 4:1Sng 3:7-8 As often as the king entered into the LORD’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room. When he humbled himself, the LORD’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah. 2Ch 19:31Ki 14:132Ch 12:6-72Ch 33:12-13Lam 3:22Gen 18:24Isa 57:15Isa 6:13
So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. 1Ki 14:212Ch 6:6Deu 12:51Ki 11:12Ch 13:7Deu 12:11Deu 23:3Exo 20:24 He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek the LORD. 2Ch 19:31Co 15:581Co 16:13Ezk 33:31Isa 45:19Isa 55:6-72Ch 11:162Ch 30:19
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 2Ch 9:292Ch 12:51Ki 12:222Ch 13:221Ki 14:29-30 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place. 1Ch 3:101Ki 14:29-312Ch 11:202Ch 13:1Mat 1:7
