Legacy Standard Bible
2 (A)Now it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, because they had been unfaithful to Yahweh, that (B)Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem 3 with 1,200 chariots and 60,000 horsemen. And the people who came with him from Egypt were without number: (C)the Lubim, the Sukkiim and the Ethiopians. 4 And he captured (D)the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem. 5 Now (E)Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘(F)You have forsaken Me, so I also have forsaken you [a]to Shishak.’” 6 So the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “(G)Yahweh is righteous.”
7 When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, saying, “(H)They have humbled themselves so I will not bring them to ruin, but I will grant them some measure of escape, and (I)My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 8 But they will become his slaves so (J)that they may know the difference between My slavery and the slavery of the kingdoms of the countries.”
Shishak Takes from Yahweh’s House
9 (K)So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures of the house of Yahweh and the treasures of the king’s house. He took everything; (L)he even took the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
