Ginsalakay ni Haring Shishak sang Egipto ang Jerusalem
(1 Har. 14:25-28)
1Sang malig-on na ang paghari ni Rehoboam kag gamhanan na siya, ginsikway niya kag sang bug-os nga Israel ang kasuguan sang Ginoo. 2Tungod nga indi sila matutom sa Ginoo, ginsalakay ni Haring Shishak sang Egipto ang Jerusalem sang ikalima nga tuig sang paghari ni Rehoboam. 3May dala si Shishak nga 1,200 ka karwahe, 60,000 ka manugkabayo, kag puwerte kadamo nga mga soldado, nga ang iban sa ila halin pa sa Libya, Sukot, kag Etiopia.12:3 Etiopia: sa Hebreo, Cush. 4Ginsakop ni Shishak ang napaderan nga mga banwa sang Juda kag nagpadayon sila sa pagsalakay pakadto sa Jerusalem.
5Dayon nagkadto si Propeta Shemaya kay Rehoboam kag sa mga pangulo sang Juda, nga nagpalalagyo sa Jerusalem tungod sa kahadlok kay Shishak. Nagsiling si Shemaya sa ila, “Amo ini ang ginasiling sang Ginoo: Ginsikway ninyo ako, gani karon pabay-an ko kamo kay Shishak.”
6Nagpaubos sang ila kaugalingon ang hari kag ang mga pangulo sang Israel. Nagsiling sila, “Matarong ang Ginoo!”
7Sang makita sang Ginoo nga nagpaubos sila sang ila kaugalingon, nagsiling ang Ginoo paagi kay Shemaya, “Tungod nga nagpaubos sila sang ila kaugalingon, indi ko sila paglaglagon kundi hilwayon ko sila sa indi madugay. Indi ko pag-ipaagom ang akon kaakig sa Jerusalem paagi kay Shishak. 8Pero ipasakop ko sila sa iya agod makatuon sila nga mas maayo ang mag-alagad sa akon sang sa mag-alagad sa mga dutan-on nga mga hari.”
9Sang ginsalakay ni Haring Shishak sang Egipto ang Jerusalem, ginpanguha niya ang mga manggad sa templo sang Ginoo kag sa palasyo. Ginkuha niya ang tanan, pati na ang mga taming nga bulawan nga ginpahimo ni Solomon. 10Gani nagpahimo si Haring Rehoboam sang mga taming nga saway sa pag-ilis sadto nga mga taming, kag gin-intrigar niya ini sa mga opisyal sang mga guwardya nga nagabantay sa puwertahan sang palasyo. 11Kag kon magkadto ang hari sa templo sang Ginoo, nagaupod sa iya ang mga guwardya nga nagadala sang sini nga mga taming, kag pagkatapos ginabalik man nila ini sa ila kuwarto.
12Tungod nga nagpaubos si Rehoboam sang iya kaugalingon, nadula ang kaakig sang Ginoo sa iya, kag wala siya malaglag sing bug-os. Sa matuod lang, may ara pa gid man nga kaayuhan sa Juda.
13Naglig-on ang pagdumala ni Haring Rehoboam kag nagpadayon siya sa paghari didto sa Jerusalem. Nagaedad siya sing 41 sang nangin hari siya, kag naghari siya sing 17 ka tuig sa Jerusalem, ang siyudad nga ginpili sang Ginoo sa tanan nga tribo sang Israel nga sa diin padunggan siya. Ang ngalan sang iloy ni Rehoboam amo si Naama, nga isa ka Ammonhon. 14Naghimo sing malaot si Rehoboam tungod nga wala siya naghandom sa pagdangop sa Ginoo.
15Ang estorya parte sa paghari ni Rehoboam halin sa umpisa hasta sa katapusan nasulat sa Libro ni Propeta Shemaya kag Libro ni Propeta Ido, nga listahan sang mga kaliwat. Permi lang sadto nagainaway si Rehoboam kag si Jeroboam. 16Sang napatay si Rehoboam, ginlubong siya sa Banwa ni David. Kag si Abia nga iya anak amo ang nagbulos sa iya bilang hari.
Shishak Attacks Jerusalem
1Rehoboam had made his position as king secure. He had become very strong. Then he turned away from the law of the Lord. So did all the people of Judah. 2They hadn’t been faithful to the Lord. So Shishak attacked Jerusalem. It was in the fifth year that Rehoboam was king. Shishak was king of Egypt. 3He came with 1,200 chariots and 60,000 horsemen. Troops of Libyans, Sukkites and Cushites came with him from Egypt. There were so many of them they couldn’t be counted. 4Shishak captured the cities of Judah that had high walls around them. He came all the way to Jerusalem.
5Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah. They had gathered together in Jerusalem. They were afraid of Shishak. Shemaiah said to them, “The Lord says, ‘You have left me. So now I am leaving you to Shishak.’ ”
6The king and the leaders of Israel made themselves humble in the Lord’s sight. They said, “The Lord does what is right and fair.”
7The Lord saw they had made themselves humble. So he gave a message to Shemaiah. The Lord said, “They have made themselves humble in my sight. So I will not destroy them. Instead, I will soon save them. Even though I am very angry with Jerusalem, I will not use Shishak to destroy them. 8But the people of Jerusalem will be brought under his control. Then they will learn the difference between serving me and serving the kings of other lands.”
9Shishak, the king of Egypt, attacked Jerusalem. He carried away the treasures of the Lord’s temple. He also carried the treasures of the royal palace away. He took everything. That included the gold shields Solomon had made. 10So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to take their place. He gave them to the commanders of the guards who were on duty at the entrance to the royal palace. 11Every time the king went to the Lord’s temple, the guards went with him. They carried the shields. Later, they took them back to the room where they were kept.
12Rehoboam had made himself humble in the Lord’s sight. So the Lord turned his anger away from him. Rehoboam wasn’t totally destroyed. In fact, some good things happened in Judah.
13King Rehoboam had made his position secure in Jerusalem. He continued as king. He was 41 years old when he became king. He ruled for 17 years in Jerusalem. It was the city the Lord had chosen out of all the cities in the tribes of Israel. He wanted to put his Name there. The name of Rehoboam’s mother was Naamah from Ammon. 14Rehoboam did what was evil. That’s because he hadn’t worshiped the Lord with all his heart.
15The events of Rehoboam’s rule from beginning to end are written down. They are written in the records of Shemaiah and Iddo, the prophets. The records deal with family histories. Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other. 16Rehoboam joined the members of his family who had already died. He was buried in the City of David. Rehoboam’s son Abijah became the next king after him.
