埃及侵犯犹大
12 罗波安王位稳定、国势强盛后，就离弃耶和华的律法，以色列人也都随从他。 2 罗波安王执政第五年，埃及王示撒上来攻打耶路撒冷，因为犹大君民对耶和华不忠。 3 示撒率领一千二百辆战车、六万骑兵及无数的路比人、苏基人和古实人。 4 他攻陷了犹大的坚城，直逼耶路撒冷。
5 那时，犹大各首领因为战事都聚集在耶路撒冷。示玛雅先知去见罗波安和众首领，对他们说：“耶和华说，‘你们背弃了我，所以我也要离弃你们，把你们交在示撒手中。’” 6 王与以色列的众首领听了，就谦卑下来说：“耶和华是公义的。” 7 耶和华见他们谦卑下来，就对示玛雅说：“既然他们谦卑下来，我就不灭绝他们，给他们留一条生路。我也不会借示撒向耶路撒冷倾倒我的愤怒。 8 然而，他们必做示撒的仆人，好让他们体验事奉我和服侍世上的君王的不同。”
9 埃及王示撒带兵攻陷了耶路撒冷，把耶和华殿里和王宫里的财宝及所罗门造的金盾牌掳掠一空。 10 罗波安王就造了铜盾牌代替金盾牌，交给看守宫门的护卫长看管。 11 每次王进耶和华的殿，护卫兵就带上盾牌，用完后放回护卫房。 12 王谦卑下来后，耶和华便不再向他发怒，没有将他完全毁灭。况且，在犹大还有一些善事。
罗波安逝世
13 罗波安王在耶路撒冷巩固了自己的势力，继续做王。他四十一岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政十七年。耶和华从以色列众支派中选择耶路撒冷作为立祂名的城。罗波安的母亲叫拿玛，是亚扪人。 14 罗波安行为邪恶，因为他不专心寻求耶和华。
15 他执政期间的事件自始至终都记在示玛雅先知和易多先见的史记上。罗波安与耶罗波安之间常有争战。 16 罗波安与祖先同眠后，葬在大卫城。他儿子亚比雅继位。

罗波安离弃耶和华(A)
12 罗波安的王位稳定，他也强盛起来，就离弃了耶和华的律法，全体以色列人也都跟随他。 2 罗波安王第五年，埃及王示撒上来攻打耶路撒冷，因为他们得罪了耶和华。 3 示撒率领战车一千二百辆，马兵六万，和他一同从埃及出来的路比人、苏基人和古实人，多得无法数算。 4 他攻取了犹大境内的设防城，然后来到耶路撒冷。 5 那时，犹大的众领袖，因为示撒的缘故，就聚集在耶路撒冷；示玛雅先知就来见罗波安和众领袖，对他们说：“耶和华这样说：‘你们既然离弃了我，所以我也离弃你们，把你们交在示撒的手里。’” 6 于是以色列的众领袖和君王，都谦卑下来，说：“耶和华是公义的。”
7 耶和华看见他们谦卑下来，耶和华的话就临到示玛雅，说：“他们既然谦卑下来，我就不灭绝他们；我必使他们暂时得救，我必不借着示撒把我的烈怒倾倒在耶路撒冷。 8 虽然这样，他们仍必作示撒的仆人，好使他们知道，服事我和服事世上的列国有甚么分别。”
掠夺圣殿与王宫的宝物(B)
9 于是埃及王示撒上来攻打耶路撒冷，夺取了耶和华殿和王宫里的宝物，把它们全部带走，又夺去了所罗门所做的金盾牌。 10 罗波安王做了一些铜盾牌代替那些金盾牌，交给那些看守宫门的守卫长看管。 11 每逢王进耶和华殿的时候，守卫就来拿这些盾牌，事后又把盾牌送回守卫房那里。 12 王既然谦卑下来，耶和华的烈怒就止息，没有把他完全消灭。何况在犹大中还有善事。
13 罗波安王在耶路撒冷渐渐强盛，继续作王。罗波安登基的时候是四十一岁；他在耶和华从以色列众支派中选出来，立下他名的耶路撒冷城中，作王十七年。罗波安的母亲名叫拿玛，是亚扪人。 14 罗波安行恶，因为他没有定意寻求耶和华。
罗波安逝世(C)
15 罗波安的事迹，一生的始末，不是都记在示玛雅先知，和先见易多有关家谱的记录上吗？罗波安和耶罗波安二人常有争战。 16 罗波安和他的列祖同睡，埋葬在大卫城里。他的儿子亚比雅（“亚比雅”是“亚比央”的另一种写法；参王上14:31）接续他作王。

Egypt Attacks Judah
12 When the rule of Rehobo′am was established and was strong, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him. 2 In the fifth year of King Rehobo′am, because they had been unfaithful to the Lord, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem 3 with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the people were without number who came with him from Egypt—Libyans, Suk′ki-im, and Ethiopians. 4 And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem. 5 Then Shemai′ah the prophet came to Rehobo′am and to the princes of Judah, who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says the Lord, ‘You abandoned me, so I have abandoned you to the hand of Shishak.’” 6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The Lord is righteous.” 7 When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemai′ah: “They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 8 Nevertheless they shall be servants to him, that they may know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem; he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house; he took away everything. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made; 10 and King Rehobo′am made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house. 11 And as often as the king went into the house of the Lord, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back to the guardroom. 12 And when he humbled himself the wrath of the Lord turned from him, so as not to make a complete destruction; moreover, conditions were good in Judah.
Death of Rehoboam
13 So King Rehobo′am established himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Rehobo′am 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 Na′amah the Ammonitess. 14 And he did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek the Lord.
15 Now the acts of Rehobo′am, from first to last, are they not written in the chronicles of Shemai′ah the prophet and of Iddo the seer?[a] There were continual wars between Rehobo′am and Jerobo′am. 16 And Rehobo′am slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; and Abi′jah his son reigned in his stead.

Shishak’s Invasion
12 When Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power,(A) he abandoned the law of the Lord—he and all Israel with him. 2 Because they were unfaithful to the Lord, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, King Shishak(B) of Egypt went to war against Jerusalem(C) 3 with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 cavalrymen, and countless people who came with him from Egypt—Libyans,(D) Sukkiim, and Cushites. 4 He captured the fortified cities(E) of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.
5 Then the prophet Shemaiah(F) went to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who were gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak. He said to them, “This is what the Lord says: You have abandoned me; therefore, I have abandoned you to Shishak.”(G)
6 So the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The Lord is righteous.”(H)
7 When the Lord saw that they had humbled themselves, the Lord’s message came to Shemaiah: “They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them but will grant them a little deliverance.(I) My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.(J) 8 However, they will become his servants so that they may recognize the difference between serving me and serving the kingdoms of other lands.”(K)
9 So King Shishak of Egypt went to war(L) against Jerusalem.(M) He seized the treasuries of the Lord’s temple and the treasuries of the royal palace. He took everything. He took the gold shields that Solomon had made.(N) 10 King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and committed them into the care of the captains of the guards[a] who protected the entrance to the king’s palace. 11 Whenever the king entered the Lord’s temple, the guards would carry the shields and take them back to the armory.[b] 12 When Rehoboam humbled himself, the Lord’s anger turned away from him, and he did not destroy him completely.(O) Besides that, conditions were good in Judah.(P)
Rehoboam’s Last Days
13 King Rehoboam(Q) established his royal power in Jerusalem. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to put his name.(R) Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. 14 Rehoboam did what was evil, because he did not determine in his heart to seek the Lord.(S)
15 The events(T) of Rehoboam’s reign, from beginning to end, are written in the Events of the Prophet Shemaiah(U) and of the Seer Iddo concerning genealogies.(V) There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their reigns. 16 Rehoboam rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David. His son Abijah[c](W) became king in his place.
