2 Chronicles 12:2-4
Amplified Bible
2 And it came about in King Rehoboam’s fifth year, because they had been unfaithful to the Lord, that [a]Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem 3 with 1,200 chariots and 60,000 horsemen. The people who came with him from Egypt were beyond counting—the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the [b]Ethiopians. 4 Shishak took the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.
