2 Chronicles 12 (WEBP)

[1] When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned Yahweh’s law, and all Israel with him.
[2] In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Yahweh,
[3] with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
[4] He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
[5] Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Yahweh says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’ ”
[6] Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “Yahweh is righteous.”
[7] When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, Yahweh’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
[8] Nevertheless they will 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 Yahweh’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
[10] King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
[11] As often as the king entered into Yahweh’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.
[12] When he humbled himself, Yahweh’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.
[13] So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
[14] He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.
[15] Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
[16] Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.

[4] And he took () the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came () to Jerusalem.
[5] Then came () Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together () to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said () unto them, Thus saith () the Lord, Ye have forsaken () me, and therefore have I also left () you in the hand of Shishak.
[6] Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled () themselves; and they said, () The Lord is righteous.
[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.

[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. ()

2 Chronicles 12 (BYZ)

[1] και εγενετο ως ητοιμασθη η βασιλεια ροβοαμ και ως κατεκρατηθη εγκατελιπεν τας εντολας κυριου και πας ισραηλ μετ αυτου
[2] και εγενετο εν τω πεμπτω ετει της βασιλειας ροβοαμ ανεβη σουσακιμ βασιλευς αιγυπτου επι ιερουσαλημ οτι ημαρτον εναντιον κυριου
[3] εν χιλιοις και διακοσιοις αρμασιν και εξηκοντα χιλιασιν ιππων και ουκ ην αριθμος του πληθους του ελθοντος μετ αυτου εξ αιγυπτου λιβυες τρωγλοδυται και αιθιοπες
[4] και κατεκρατησαν των πολεων των οχυρων αι ησαν εν ιουδα και ηλθεν εις ιερουσαλημ
[5] και σαμαιας ο προφητης ηλθεν προς ροβοαμ και προς τους αρχοντας ιουδα τους συναχθεντας εις ιερουσαλημ απο προσωπου σουσακιμ και ειπεν αυτοις ουτως ειπεν κυριος υμεις εγκατελιπετε με καγω εγκαταλειψω υμας εν χειρι σουσακιμ
[6] και ησχυνθησαν οι αρχοντες ισραηλ και ο βασιλευς και ειπαν δικαιος ο κυριος
[7] και εν τω ιδειν κυριον οτι ενετραπησαν και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς σαμαιαν λεγων ενετραπησαν ου καταφθερω αυτους και δωσω αυτους ως μικρον εις σωτηριαν και ου μη σταξη ο θυμος μου εν ιερουσαλημ
[8] οτι εσονται εις παιδας και γνωσονται την δουλειαν μου και την δουλειαν της βασιλειας της γης
[9] και ανεβη σουσακιμ βασιλευς αιγυπτου και ελαβεν τους θησαυρους τους εν οικω κυριου και τους θησαυρους τους εν οικω του βασιλεως τα παντα ελαβεν και ελαβεν τους θυρεους τους χρυσους ους εποιησεν σαλωμων
[10] και εποιησεν ροβοαμ θυρεους χαλκους αντ αυτων και κατεστησεν επ αυτον σουσακιμ αρχοντας παρατρεχοντων τους φυλασσοντας τον πυλωνα του βασιλεως
[11] και εγενετο εν τω εισελθειν τον βασιλεα εις οικον κυριου εισεπορευοντο οι φυλασσοντες και οι παρατρεχοντες και οι επιστρεφοντες εις απαντησιν των παρατρεχοντων
[12] και εν τω εντραπηναι αυτον απεστραφη απ αυτου οργη κυριου και ουκ εις καταφθοραν εις τελος και γαρ εν ιουδα ησαν λογοι αγαθοι
[13] και κατισχυσεν ροβοαμ εν ιερουσαλημ και εβασιλευσεν και τεσσαρακοντα και ενος ετων ροβοαμ εν τω βασιλευσαι αυτον και επτακαιδεκα ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ εν τη πολει η εξελεξατο κυριος επονομασαι το ονομα αυτου εκει εκ πασων φυλων υιων ισραηλ και ονομα της μητρος αυτου νοομμα η αμμανιτις
[14] και εποιησεν το πονηρον οτι ου κατευθυνεν την καρδιαν αυτου εκζητησαι τον κυριον
[15] και λογοι ροβοαμ οι πρωτοι και οι εσχατοι ουκ ιδου γεγραμμενοι εν τοις λογοις σαμαια του προφητου και αδδω του ορωντος και πραξεις αυτου και επολεμει ροβοαμ τον ιεροβοαμ πασας τας ημερας
[16] και απεθανεν ροβοαμ και εταφη μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη εν πολει δαυιδ και εβασιλευσεν αβια υιος αυτου αντ αυτου
