2 Chronicles 12
1 And when Rehoboam had established the kingdome and made it strong, hee forsooke the Lawe of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
Cumque roboratum fuisset regnum Roboam et confortatum, dereliquit legem Domini, et omnis Israel cum eo.
2 Therefore in the fift yeere of King Rehoboam, Shishak the King of Egypt came vp against Ierusalem (because they had transgressed against the Lord)
Anno autem quinto regni Roboam, ascendit Sesac rex Ægypti in Ierusalem (quia peccaverant Domino)
3 With twelue hundreth charets, and three score thousande horsemen, and the people were without nomber, that came with him from Egypt, euen the Lubims, Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.
cum mille ducentis curribus, et sexaginta millibus equitum: nec erat numerus vulgi quod venerat cum eo ex Ægypto, Libyes scilicet, et Troglodytæ, et Æthiopes.
4 And he tooke the strong cities which were of Iudah, and came vnto Ierusalem.
Cepitque civitates munitissimas in Iuda, et venit usque in Ierusalem.
5 Then came Shemaiah the Prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Iudah, that were gathered together in Hierusalem, because of Shishak, and sayde vnto them, Thus sayth the Lord, Ye haue forsaken me, therefore haue I also left you in the handes of Shishak.
Semeias autem propheta ingressus est ad Roboam, et principes Iuda, qui congregati fuerant in Ierusalem, fugientes Sesac, dixitque ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus: Vos reliquistis me, et ego reliqui vos in manu Sesac.
6 Then the princes of Israel, and the King humbled themselues, and sayde, The Lord is iust.
Consternatique principes Israel et rex dixerunt: Iustus est Dominus.
7 And when the Lord sawe that they humbled themselues, the worde of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They haue humbled theselues, therefore I will not destroy them, but I will sende them deliuerance shortly, and my wrath shall not bee powred out vpon Ierusalem by the hand of Shishak.
Cumque vidisset Dominus, quod humiliati essent, factus est sermo Domini ad Semeiam, dicens: Quia humiliati sunt, non disperdam eos, daboque eis pauxillum auxilii, et non stillabit furor meus super Ierusalem per manum Sesac.
8 Neuerthelesse they shalbe his sernants: so shall they knowe my seruice, and the seruice of the kingdomes of the earth.
Verumtamen servient ei, ut sciant distantiam servitutis meæ, et servitutis regni terrarum.
9 Then Shishak King of Egypt came vp against Ierusalem, and tooke the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the Kings house he tooke euen all, and hee caried away the shields of golde, which Salomon had made.
Recessit itaque Sesac rex Ægypti ab Ierusalem, sublatis thesauris domus Domini, et domus regis, omniaque secum tulit, et clypeos aureos, quos fecerat Salomon,
10 In stead whereof King Rehoboam made shieldes of brasse, and committed them to the handes of the chiefe of the garde, that wayted at the doore of the Kings house.
pro quibus fecit rex æneos, et tradidit illos principibus scutariorum, qui custodiebant vestibulum palatii.
11 And when the King entred into the house of the Lord, the garde came and bare them and brought them againe vnto the garde chamber.
Cumque introiret rex domum Domini, veniebant scutarii, et tollebant eos, iterumque referebant eos ad armamentarium suum.
12 And because hee humbled himselfe, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, that hee woulde not destroy all together. And also in Iudah the things prospered.
Verumtamen quia humiliati sunt, aversa est ab eis ira Domini, nec deleti sunt penitus: siquidem et in Iuda inventa sunt opera bona.
13 So King Rehoboam was strong in Ierusalem and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and fourtie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned seuenteene yeres in Ierusalem, the citie which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his Name there. And his mothers name was Naamah an Ammonitesse.
Confortatus est ergo rex Roboam in Ierusalem, atque regnavit: quadraginta autem et unius anni erat cum regnare cœpisset, et decem et septem annis regnavit in Ierusalem, urbe, quam elegit Dominus, ut confirmaret nomen suum ibi, de cunctis tribubus Israel: nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanitis.
14 And he did euill: for hee prepared not his heart to seeke the Lord.
Fecit autem malum, et non præparavit cor suum ut quæreret Dominum.
15 The actes also of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the booke of Shemaiah the Prophet, and Iddo the Seer, in rehearsing the genealogie? and there was warre alway betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam.
Opera vero Roboam prima et novissima scripta sunt in Libris Semeiæ prophetæ, et Addo Videntis, et diligenter exposita: pugnaveruntque adversum se Roboam, et Ieroboam cunctis diebus.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the citie of Dauid, and Abiiah his sonne reigned in his stead.
Et dormivit Roboam cum patribus suis, sepultusque est in Civitate David. Et regnavit Abia filius eius pro eo.
