2 Chronicles 12:1-6

New American Standard Bible

Shishak of Egypt Invades Judah

12 ^(A)When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, ^(B)he and all Israel with him abandoned the Law of the Lord. ^2 (C)And it came about in King Rehoboam’s fifth year, because they had been unfaithful to the Lord, that ^(D)Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem ³ with 1,200 chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the people who came with him from Egypt were innumerable: ^(E)the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians. ⁴ And he captured ^(F)the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem. ⁵ Then ^(G)Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, “This is what the Lord says: ‘^(H)You have abandoned Me, so I also have abandoned you ^[a]to Shishak.’” ⁶ So the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The ^(I)Lord is righteous.”
