2 Chronicles 12:2-6 World English Bible (WEB)

2. In the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Yahweh,

3. with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.

4. He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

5. Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Yahweh says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”

6. Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “Yahweh is righteous.”
