1After Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he and all Israel with him forsook the Law of the LORD.

“It came to pass, chapter 12, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord and all Israel with him.”

5Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, "This is what the LORD says: 'You have forsaken Me; therefore, I have forsaken you into the hand of Shishak.'"
“Then came Shemiah the prophet to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak and said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in…”
6So the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, "The LORD is righteous."
“Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and they said, The Lord is righteous.”
“Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves, and they said, The Lord is righteous.”
“Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves, and they said, The Lord is righteous.”
“So the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and they said the Lord is righteous.”
7When the LORD saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but will soon grant them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.
“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…”
“And when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemiah saying, They have humbled themselves. Therefore, I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance. And my wrath shall not be…”
“when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves. The word of the Lord came again to Shemaiah saying they have humbled themselves. Listen now, so I will not destroy them. But I will grant them some measure of Deliverance. My wrath…”
8Nevertheless, they will become his servants, so that they may learn the difference between serving Me and serving the kings of other lands."
“Nevertheless, they shall be his servants that they may know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
“Nevertheless, they shall be his servants, that they may know my service in the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
9So King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including the gold shields that Solomon had made.
“so Shishak the 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 all the shields of gold, which Solomon had made.”
“Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem. And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king's house. He took away everything. He also took away all the gold shields with which Solomon…”
“Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king's house. He took away everything. He also took away all the gold shields which Solomon had made.”
10Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
“then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and Committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard who guarded the doorway of the king's house.”
“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.”
“Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard who guarded the doorway of the king's house.”
“Instead of which rainbow 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.”
11And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would go with him, bearing the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
“And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the guard came and fetched them and brought them again into the guard's chamber.”
“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.”
12Because Rehoboam humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, and He did not destroy him completely. Indeed, conditions were good in Judah.
