Shishak Attacks Jerusalem^(A)

12 After Rehoboam’s position as king was established^(B) and he had become strong,^(C) he and all Israel^[a](D) with him abandoned^(E) the law of the Lord.

⁵ Then the prophet Shemaiah^(A) came to Rehoboam and to the leaders of Judah who had assembled in Jerusalem for fear of Shishak, and he said to them, “This is what the Lord says, ‘You have abandoned me; therefore, I now abandon^(B) you to Shishak.’”

¹⁰ To this day Edom has been in rebellion against Judah.

Libnah^(A) revolted at the same time, because Jehoram had forsaken the Lord, the God of his ancestors.
