3 with twelve hundred chariots and sixty 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 Shemaiah, the prophet, went to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus hath the Lord said, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore, I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.
6 And 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 deliver them shortly; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Nevertheless, they shall be his slaves that they may know what it is to serve me and to serve the kingdoms of the nations.
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 it all; he also carried away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
