7 And 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 and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak 8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants that they may know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries
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 all he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made 10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard that kept the entrance of the king's house 11 And when the king entered into the house of the LORD the guard came and fetched them and brought them again into the guard chamber 12 And when he humbled himself the wrath of the LORD turned from him that he would not destroy him altogether and also in Judah things went well
13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign and he reigned seventeen __ years in Jerusalem the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess 14 And he did evil because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam first and last are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually 16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David and Abijah his son reigned in his stead
