歷代志下 12
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
埃及侵犯猶大(A)
12 羅波安的王國穩固，他強盛的時候就離棄耶和華的律法，全以色列都跟從他。 2 羅波安王第五年，埃及王示撒上來攻打耶路撒冷，因為他們背叛了耶和華。 3 示撒帶着一千二百輛戰車，六萬名騎兵，以及跟隨他從埃及出來的路比人、蘇基人和古實人的軍隊，多得不可勝數。 4 他攻取了猶大的堅固城，來到耶路撒冷。 5 那時，猶大的領袖因為示撒的緣故聚集在耶路撒冷，有先知示瑪雅去見羅波安和眾領袖，對他們說：「耶和華如此說：『你們離棄了我，所以我也離棄你們，把你們交在示撒手裏。』」 6 於是以色列的領袖和王都謙卑說：「耶和華是公義的。」 7 耶和華見他們謙卑，耶和華的話就臨到示瑪雅，說：「他們既謙卑，我必不滅絕他們；我要使他們暫時得拯救，不藉着示撒的手將我的怒氣倒在耶路撒冷。 8 然而他們必作示撒的僕人，好叫他們知道，服事我與服事地上邦國有何分別。」
9 於是，埃及王示撒上來攻取耶路撒冷，奪了耶和華殿和王宮裏的寶物，盡都帶走，又奪走所羅門製造的金盾牌。 10 羅波安王製造銅盾牌代替那些金盾牌，交給看守王宮宮門的護衛長看管。 11 每逢王進耶和華的殿，護衛兵就來，舉起這些盾牌；隨後仍將盾牌送回護衛室。 12 王謙卑的時候，耶和華的怒氣就轉消了，不全然滅盡，並且在猶大中，情況也有好轉。
羅波安政績簡述
13 羅波安王自強，在耶路撒冷作王。他登基的時候年四十一歲，在耶路撒冷，就是耶和華從以色列眾支派中所選擇立他名的城，作王十七年。羅波安的母親名叫拿瑪，是亞捫人。 14 羅波安行惡，因他沒有立定心意尋求耶和華。
15 羅波安的事蹟，自始至終不都寫在示瑪雅先知和易多先見的《史記》上嗎？羅波安與耶羅波安時常交戰。 16 羅波安與他祖先同睡，葬在大衛城，他的兒子亞比雅[a]接續他作王。

King James Version
12 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
2 And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the Lord,
3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.
4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The Lord is righteous.
7 And when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the 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; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; 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, and took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.
11 And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.
12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty 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. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
