Easy-to-Read Version

Shishak King of Egypt Attacks Jerusalem

12 Rehoboam became a strong king and made his kingdom strong. Then Rehoboam and the whole tribe of Judah^[a] refused to obey the law of the Lord.

² During the fifth year that Rehoboam was king, Shishak king of Egypt came to attack Jerusalem. This happened because Rehoboam and the people of Judah rebelled against the Lord. ³ Shishak had 1200 chariots, 60,000 horse riders, and an army that no one could count. In Shishak’s large army there were Libyan soldiers, Sukkite soldiers, and Ethiopian soldiers.
