2 Tawarikh 12:1-6

12:1 After Rehoboam’s rule was established and solidified, he and all Israel rejected the law of the Lord. 12:2 Because they were unfaithful to the Lord, in King Rehoboam’s fifth year, King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem. 12:3 He had 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and an innumerable number of soldiers who accompanied him from Egypt, including Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites. 12:4 He captured the fortified cities of Judah and marched against Jerusalem.

12:5 Shemaiah the prophet visited Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who were assembled in Jerusalem because of Shishak. He said to them, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You have rejected me, so I have rejected you and will hand you over to Shishak.’” ¹  12:6 The leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The Lord is just.” ² 

[12:5]  ¹ tn Heb “also I have rejected you into the hand of Shishak.”

[12:6]  ² tn Or “fair,” meaning the Lord’s punishment of them was just or fair.
