14:012:007 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
           grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured
           out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

14:012:008 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my
           service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

14:012:009 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 all:  he carried away also the
           shields of gold which Solomon had made.

14:012:010 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and
           committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that
           kept the entrance of the king’s house.

14:012:011 And when the king entered into the house of the lord, the
           guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the
           guard chamber.

14:012:012 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the lord turned from
           him, that he would not destroy him altogether:  and also in
           Judah things went well.

14:012:013 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and
           reigned:  for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he
           began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem,
           the city which the lord had chosen out of all the tribes of
           Israel, to put his name there.  And his mother’s name was
           Naamah an Ammonitess.

14:012:014 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the
           lord.

14:012:015 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written
           in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer
           concerning genealogies?  And there were wars between Rehoboam
           and Jeroboam continually.

14:012:016 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the
           city of David:  and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

14:013:001 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to
           reign over Judah.

14:013:002 He reigned three years in Jerusalem.  His mother’s name also
           was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah.  And there was
           war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

14:013:003 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men
           of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men:  Jeroboam also
           set the battle in array against him with eight hundred
           thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour.
