2 Chronicles 12 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ And it came to be, when Reḥ

² And it came to be, in the fifth year of Sovereign Reḥ

³ with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen, and innumerable people who came with him out of Mitsrayim: the Luḇ

⁴ And he took the cities of defence of Yehuḏ

⁵ And Shemayah the prophet came to Reḥ

⁶ Then the rulers of Yisra’ĕ

⁷ And when יהוה  saw that they humbled themselves, the word of יהוה  came to Shemayah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I do not destroy them, but I shall give to them some deliverance, and not pour out My wrath on Yerushalayim by the hand of Shishaq,

⁸ but they are to become his servants, so that they know My service and the service of the reigns of the lands.”

⁹ And Shishaq sovereign of Mitsrayim came up against Yerushalayim, and took away the treasures of the House of יהוה  and the treasures of the sovereign’s house. He took all, he also took the gold shields which Shelomoh had made.

¹⁰ And Sovereign Reḥ

¹¹ And it came to be, whenever the sovereign went into the House of יהוה, the guard would go and bring them out, then they would take them back into the guardroom.

¹² And when he humbled himself, the wrath of יהוה  turned from him, so as not to destroy him completely. And matters also went well in Yehuḏ

¹³ So Sovereign Reḥ

¹⁴ And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek יהוה.

¹⁵ And the acts of Reḥ

¹⁶ So Reḥ
