nkjv@2Chronicles:12:2 @ And it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,
nkjv@2Chronicles:12:3 @ with twelve hundred chariots, sixty thousand horsemen, and people without number who came with him out of Egypt--the Lubim and the Sukkiim and the Ethiopians.
nkjv@2Chronicles:12:4 @ And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came to Jerusalem.
nkjv@2Chronicles:12:5 @ Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the LORD: "You have forsaken Me, and therefore I also have left you in the hand of Shishak."'
nkjv@2Chronicles:12:6 @ So the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "The LORD is righteous."
nkjv@2Chronicles:12:7 @ Now when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance. My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
nkjv@2Chronicles:12:8 @ Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may distinguish My service from the service of the kingdoms of the nations."
nkjv@2Chronicles:12:9 @ So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house; he took everything. He also carried away the gold shields which Solomon had made.
