2 Chronicles 12:1

CHAPTER XII

Rehoboam and his subjects, forsaking the Lord, are delivered

into the hands of Shishak, king of Egypt, 1-4.

Shemaiah the prophet remonstrates with them, and they humble

themselves, and Jerusalem is not destroyed; but Shishak takes

away all the treasures, and the golden shields, instead of

which Rehoboam makes shields of brass, 5-12.

He reigns badly seventeen years, dies, and is succeeded by his

son Abijah, 13-16.
