SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]

Explanation: 2 Chronicles 12 documents Rehoboam's disobedience to the LORD and the LORD's discipline by the hand of Shishak, King of Egypt.

[Traditional Patriarchal Timeline. Judges. Judges Period Chronology. Kings of Judah and Israel #1. Kings of Judah and Israel #2].

     After Rehoboam established himself in the newly formed Kingdom of Judah (the Southern Kingdom), he and the people of Israel forsook the law of the LORD. The previous chapter (2 Chronicles 11:17) notes that Rehoboam and his people served the LORD for the first three years of his reign and then lapsed into disobedience. After two years of this disobedience, in Rehoboam's fifth year, Shishak king of Egypt came against Rehoboam. (Previously, Shishak had given aid and shelter to Jeroboam, Rehoboam's opponent and rival king -- 1 Kings 11:40). Shishak came with massive forces and with three allies: the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. At that time Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and informed him that the LORD had left them in the hand of Shishak. But Rehoboam and the leaders of the people humbled themselves before the LORD; and the LORD told Shemaiah that he would not destroy them, and he would deliver Jerusalem, but they would become servants of Shishak (1-8).
     So Shishak took treasures from the Temple and from Rehoboam's house; and Rehoboam replaced some of the gold items of the Temple with bronze items. Subsequently, things went well with Rehoboam and with Judah (9-12).
     Rehoboam reigned for seventeen years; and his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. The lapse into evil which he experienced and for which he was disciplined came about because he did not prepare his heart to seek the LORD (13-14).
     The history of Rehoboam was written in the books of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer. When Rehoboam died he was buried in the city of David, which was Jerusalem's main fortified part, and Abijah his son succeeded him (15-16).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

     ¹ And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him. ² And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD, ³ With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. 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. 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 [was gone into] the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and bought 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 [all of the days]. ¹⁶ And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
