and thus it happened that in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt marched on Jerusalem, because they had been unfaithful to Yahweh, (2 Chronicles 12, 2)
At this, the Israelite generals and the king humbled themselves and said, 'Yahweh is just!' (2 Chronicles 12, 6)
So Shishak king of Egypt advanced on Jerusalem and carried off the treasures of the Temple and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything away, including the golden shields which Solomon had made. (2 Chronicles 12, 9)
To replace these, King Rehoboam made bronze shields, entrusting them to the commanders of the guard who guarded the king's palace gate. (2 Chronicles 12, 10)
Whenever the king went to the Temple of Yahweh, the guards would come out carrying them, returning them to the guardroom afterwards. (2 Chronicles 12, 11)
Because King Rehoboam had humbled himself, the retribution of Yahweh turned away from him so as not to destroy him completely; and there were also some good features in Judah. (2 Chronicles 12, 12)
Thus he was able to strengthen his position in Jerusalem and continue as king; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he came to the throne and remained king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city chosen by Yahweh from all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite. (2 Chronicles 12, 13)
In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king of Judah (2 Chronicles 13, 1)
King Asa even deprived his mother Maacah of the dignity of Great Lady for having made an obscenity for Asherah; Asa cut down her obscenity, smashed it and burnt it in the ravine of the Kidron. (2 Chronicles 15, 16)
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign, Baasha king of Israel marched on Judah and fortified Ramah to block the communications of Asa king of Judah. (2 Chronicles 16, 1)
Asa then took silver and gold from the treasuries of the Temple of Yahweh and the royal palace and sent this with the following message to Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, (2 Chronicles 16, 2)
'Let us make an alliance between me and you, between my father and your father! Look, I have sent you silver and gold. Come, break off your alliance with Baasha king of Israel, which will make him withdraw from me.' (2 Chronicles 16, 3)
