罗波安违弃耶和华

12 罗波安的国坚立,他强盛的时候就离弃耶和华的律法,以色列人也都随从他。

埃及王示撒攻耶路撒冷

罗波安王第五年,埃及示撒上来攻打耶路撒冷,因为王和民得罪了耶和华。 示撒带战车一千二百辆、马兵六万,并且跟从他出埃及路比人、苏基人和古实人多得不可胜数。 他攻取了犹大的坚固城,就来到耶路撒冷 那时犹大的首领因为示撒就聚集在耶路撒冷,有先知示玛雅去见罗波安和众首领,对他们说:“耶和华如此说:你们离弃了我,所以我使你们落在示撒手里。” 于是王和以色列的众首领都自卑,说:“耶和华是公义的。” 耶和华见他们自卑,耶和华的话就临到示玛雅说:“他们既自卑,我必不灭绝他们,必使他们略得拯救。我不借着示撒的手将我的怒气倒在耶路撒冷 然而他们必做示撒的仆人,好叫他们知道服侍我与服侍外邦人有何分别。”

夺取圣殿及王宫之宝物

于是埃及示撒上来攻取耶路撒冷,夺了耶和华殿和王宫里的宝物,尽都带走,又夺去所罗门制造的金盾牌。 10 罗波安王制造铜盾牌代替那金盾牌,交给守王宫门的护卫长看守。 11 王每逢进耶和华的殿,护卫兵就拿这盾牌,随后仍将盾牌送回,放在护卫房。 12 王自卑的时候,耶和华的怒气就转消了,不将他灭尽;并且在犹大中间也有善益的事。

13 罗波安王自强,在耶路撒冷做王。他登基的时候年四十一岁,在耶路撒冷,就是耶和华从以色列众支派中所选择立他名的城,做王十七年。罗波安的母亲名叫拿玛,是亚扪人。 14 罗波安行恶,因他不立定心意寻求耶和华。

罗波安卒

15 罗波安所行的事,自始至终,不都写在先知示玛雅和先见易多的史记上吗?罗波安耶罗波安时常争战。 16 罗波安与他列祖同睡,葬在大卫城里。他儿子亚比雅接续他做王。

埃及侵犯猶大

12 羅波安王位穩定、國勢強盛後,就離棄耶和華的律法,以色列人也都隨從他。 羅波安王執政第五年,埃及王示撒上來攻打耶路撒冷,因為猶大君民對耶和華不忠。 示撒率領一千二百輛戰車、六萬騎兵及無數的路比人、蘇基人和古實人。 他攻陷了猶大的堅城,直逼耶路撒冷。

那時,猶大各首領因為戰事都聚集在耶路撒冷。示瑪雅先知去見羅波安和眾首領,對他們說:「耶和華說,『你們背棄了我,所以我也要離棄你們,把你們交在示撒手中。』」 王與以色列的眾首領聽了,就謙卑下來說:「耶和華是公義的。」 耶和華見他們謙卑下來,就對示瑪雅說:「既然他們謙卑下來,我就不滅絕他們,給他們留一條生路。我也不會藉示撒向耶路撒冷傾倒我的憤怒。 然而,他們必做示撒的僕人,好讓他們體驗事奉我和服侍世上的君王的不同。」

埃及王示撒帶兵攻陷了耶路撒冷,把耶和華殿裡和王宮裡的財寶及所羅門造的金盾牌擄掠一空。 10 羅波安王就造了銅盾牌代替金盾牌,交給看守宮門的護衛長看管。 11 每次王進耶和華的殿,護衛兵就帶上盾牌,用完後放回護衛房。 12 王謙卑下來後,耶和華便不再向他發怒,沒有將他完全毀滅。況且,在猶大還有一些善事。

羅波安逝世

13 羅波安王在耶路撒冷鞏固了自己的勢力,繼續做王。他四十一歲登基,在耶路撒冷執政十七年。耶和華從以色列眾支派中選擇耶路撒冷作為立祂名的城。羅波安的母親叫拿瑪,是亞捫人。 14 羅波安行為邪惡,因為他不專心尋求耶和華。

15 他執政期間的事件自始至終都記在示瑪雅先知和易多先見的史記上。羅波安與耶羅波安之間常有爭戰。 16 羅波安與祖先同眠後,葬在大衛城。他兒子亞比雅繼位。

12 And when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and made it strong, he forsook the Law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

Therefore, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem (because they had transgressed against the LORD)

with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the people who came with him from Egypt—the Lubim, Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians—were without number.

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

Then Shemaiah the Prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says the LORD: ‘You have forsaken Me. Therefore, I have also left you in the hands of Shishak.’”

Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves, and said, “The LORD is just.”

And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the Word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them. But I will shortly send them deliverance. And My wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

“Nevertheless, they shall be his servants, so they shall know My service from the service of the kingdoms of the Earth.”

Then Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took the treasures of the House of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all. And he carried away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

10 In their place, King Rehoboam made shields of bronze and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard who waited at the door of the king’s house.

11 And when the king entered into the House of the LORD, the guard came and bore them and brought them back to the guard chamber.

12 And because he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so that He would not completely destroy. And things also prospered in Judah.

13 So, King Rehoboam was strong in Jerusalem and reigned. For Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city in which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put His Name. And his mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

14 And he did evil. For he did not prepare his heart to seek the LORD.

15 Also the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the Book of Shemaiah the Prophet and Iddo the Seer, in recounting the genealogy? And there was perpetual war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.

16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David. And Abijah, his son, reigned in his place.
