1 WHEN REHOBOAM had established the kingdom and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
2 And in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, because they had transgressed and been unfaithful to the Lord, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem
3 With 1,200 chariots and 60,000 horsemen, and the people were without number who came with him from Egypt–the Libyans, Sukkiim, and Ethiopians.
4 And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came on to Jerusalem.
