(1 Kings 14:25–28)
1
And it comes to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he has forsaken the Law of YHWH, and all Israel with him.
2
And it comes to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt has come up against Jerusalembecause they trespassed against YHWH
3
with one thousand and two hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen, and there is no number to the people who have come with him out of EgyptLubim, Sukkiim, and Cushim—
4
and he captures the cities of the bulwarks that [are] of Judah, and comes to Jerusalem.
5
And Shemaiah the prophet has come to Rehoboam and the heads of Judah who have been gathered to Jerusalem [to escape] from the presence of Shishak, and says to them, “Thus said YHWH: You have forsaken Me, and also, I have left you in the hand of Shishak”;
6
and the heads of Israel are humbledand the kingand they say, “YHWH [is] righteous.”
7
And when YHWH sees that they have been humbled, a word of YHWH has been [sent] to Shemaiah, saying, “They have been humbled; I do not destroy them, and I have given to them as a little thing for an escape, and I do not pour out My fury in Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak;
8
but they become servants to him, and they know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.”
9
And Shishak king of Egypt comes up against Jerusalem, and takes the treasures of the house of YHWH and the treasures of the house of the kinghe has taken the wholeand he takes the shields of gold that Solomon had made;
10
and King Rehoboam makes shields of bronze in their stead, and has given [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king;
11
and it comes to pass, from the time of the going in of the king to the house of YHWH, the runners have come in and lifted them up, and brought them back to the chamber of the runners.
12
And in his being humbled, the wrath of YHWH has turned back from him, so as not to destroy to completion; and also, there have been good things in Judah.

Rehoboam’s Reign and Death

(1 Kings 14:21–24)
13
And King Rehoboam strengthens himself in Jerusalem and reigns; for Rehoboam [is] a son of forty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that YHWH has chosen to put His Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess,
14
and he does evil, for he has not prepared his heart to seek YHWH.
15
And the matters of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written among the matters of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogy? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [are for] all the days;
16
and Rehoboam lies with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David, and his son Abijah reigns in his stead.
