2 Chronicles 12:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
12 1 Rehoboam forsaketh the Lord, and is punished by Shishak. 5 Shemaiah reproveth him. 6 He humbleth himself. 7 God sendeth him succor. 9 Shishak taketh his treasures. 13 His reign and death. 16 Abijah his son succeedeth him.
1 And when [a]Rehoboam had established the kingdom and made it strong, he forsook the Law of the Lord, and [b]all Israel with him.
2 Therefore in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak the 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 from Egypt, even the Lubim, [c]Sukkiim, and the [d]Ethiopians.
