1 Soon after Rehoboam had control of his kingdom, he and everyone in Judah stopped obeying the Lord.
2 So in the fifth year of Rehoboam's rule, the Lord punished them for their unfaithfulness and allowed King Shishak of Egypt to invade Judah.
3 Shishak attacked with his army of one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand cavalry troops, as well as Egyptian soldiers from Libya, Sukkoth, and Ethiopia.
4 He captured every one of the fortified cities in Judah and then marched to Jerusalem.
