00:00.000 --> 00:05.580
Chapter 12 And it came to pass when
Rehoboam had established the kingdom,

00:06.100 --> 00:11.080
and had strengthened himself, he forsook
the law of the Lord, and all Israel with

00:11.080 --> 00:11.260
him.

00:12.020 --> 00:17.060
And it came to pass that in the fifth year
of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt,

00:17.440 --> 00:21.580
came up against Jerusalem, because they
had transgressed against the Lord,

00:22.200 --> 00:25.420
with twelve hundred chariots and
threescore thousand horsemen.

00:25.420 --> 00:30.720
And the people were without number that
came with him out of Egypt, the Lubims,

00:31.080 --> 00:32.580
the Sakaiyims, and the Ethiopians.

00:33.720 --> 00:37.440
And he took the fenced cities which
pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

00:38.280 --> 00:43.360
Then came Shimea the prophet to Rehoboam,
and to the princes of Judah, that were

00:43.360 --> 00:48.180
gathered together to Jerusalem because of
Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith

00:48.180 --> 00:52.960
the Lord, ye have forsaken me,
and therefore have I also left you in the

00:52.960 --> 00:54.120
hand of Shishak.

00:54.120 --> 00:58.480
Whereupon the princes of Israel and the
king humbled themselves, and they said,

00:58.740 --> 01:00.260
The Lord is righteous.

01:00.620 --> 01:04.580
And when the Lord saw that they humbled
themselves, the word of the Lord came to

01:04.580 --> 01:07.120
Shimea, saying, They have humbled
themselves.

01:07.900 --> 01:12.440
Therefore I will not destroy them,
but I will grant them some deliverance,

01:12.840 --> 01:17.100
and my wrath shall not be poured out upon
Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

01:18.320 --> 01:23.060
Nevertheless they shall be his servants,
that they may know my service.

01:23.060 --> 01:26.120
And the service of the kingdoms of the
countries.

01:26.700 --> 01:31.560
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against
Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of

01:31.560 --> 01:34.340
the house of the Lord, and the treasures
of the king's house.

01:34.840 --> 01:35.820
He took all.

01:36.480 --> 01:40.060
He carried away also the shields of gold,
which Solomon had made.

01:41.140 --> 01:45.440
Instead of which king Rehoboam made
shields of brass, and committed them to

01:45.440 --> 01:48.800
the hands of the chief of the guard,
that kept the entrance of the king's

01:48.800 --> 01:49.140
house.

01:49.840 --> 01:54.160
And when the king entered into the house
of the Lord, the guard came and fetched

01:54.160 --> 01:56.920
them, and brought them again into the
guard chamber.

01:57.780 --> 02:02.440
And when he humbled himself, the wrath of
the Lord turned from him, that he would

02:02.440 --> 02:03.600
not destroy him altogether.

02:04.380 --> 02:06.860
And also in Judah things went well.

02:07.880 --> 02:11.340
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in
Jerusalem and reigned.

02:12.060 --> 02:16.580
For Rehoboam was one and forty years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned

02:16.580 --> 02:21.560
seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city
which the Lord had chosen out of all the

02:21.560 --> 02:23.840
tribes of Israel, to put his name there.

02:24.680 --> 02:27.740
And his mother's name was Nehema,
and Ammonitess.

02:28.880 --> 02:33.020
And he did evil, because he prepared not
his heart to seek the Lord.

02:34.080 --> 02:39.240
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last,
are they not written in the book of Shimea

02:39.240 --> 02:43.160
the prophet, and of Iddo the seer,
concerning genealogies?

02:43.940 --> 02:47.100
And there were wars between Rehoboam and
Jeroboam continually.

02:48.200 --> 02:52.340
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and
was buried in the city of David.

02:53.320 --> 02:55.740
And Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
