And the Lord, seeing that they had made themselves low, said to Shemaiah, They have made themselves low: I will not send destruction on them, but in a short time I will give them salvation, and will not let loose my wrath on Jerusalem by the hand of Shis

So Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And when he made himself low, the wrath of the Lord was turned back from him, and complete destruction did not come on him, for there was still some good in Judah.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was ruling for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And he did evil because his heart was not true to the Lord.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Is it not clear to you that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave the rule over Israel to David and to his sons for ever, by an agreement made with salt?

יְהוָ֣ה׀ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And now it is your purpose to put yourselves against the authority which the Lord has put into the hands of the sons of David, and you are a very great number, and you have with you the gold oxen which Jeroboam made to be your gods.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And after driving out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, have you not made priests for yourselves as the people of other lands do? so that anyone who comes to make himself priest by offering an ox or seven sheep, may be a priest

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not been turned away from him; we have priests who do the work of the Lord, even the sons of Aaron and the Levites in their places;

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”לַֽיהוָה֙ (יהוָה֙) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

By whom burned offerings and perfumes are sent up in smoke before the Lord every morning and every evening; and they put out the holy bread on its table and the gold support for the lights with its lights burning every evening; for we keep the orders giv

לַיהוָ֡ה (יהוָ֡ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And now God is with us at our head, and his priests with their loud horns sounding against you. O children of Israel, do not make war on the Lord, the God of your fathers, for it will not go well for you.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Judah, turning their faces, saw that they were being attacked in front and at the back; and they gave a cry for help to the Lord, while the priests were sounding their horns.

לַיהוָ֑ה (יהוָ֑ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So at that time the children of Israel were overcome, and the children of Judah got the better of them, because they put their faith in the Lord, the God of their fathers.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Jeroboam did not get back his power again in the life-time of Abijah; and the Lord sent death on him.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God;

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And he made Judah go after the Lord, the God of their fathers, and keep his laws and his orders.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

He made walled towns in Judah, for the land was quiet and there were no wars in those years, because the Lord had given him rest.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

He said to Judah, Let us make these towns, building walls round them with towers and doors and locks. The land is still ours, because we have been true to the Lord our God; we have been true to him and he has given us rest on every side. So they went on

יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Asa made prayer to the Lord his God and said, Lord, you only are able to give help against the strong to him who has no strength; come to our help, O Lord our God, for our hope is in you, and in your name we have come out against this great army. O L

So the Lord sent fear on the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah; and the Ethiopians went in flight.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Asa and the people who were with him went after them as far as Gerar; and so great was the destruction among the Ethiopians that they were not able to get their army together again, for they were broken before the Lord and before his army; and they t

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And they overcame all the towns round Gerar, because the Lord sent fear on them; and they took away their goods from the towns, for there were stores of wealth in them.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And he came face to face with Asa and said to him, Give ear to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you while you are with him; if your heart's desire is for him, he will be near you, but if you give him up, he will give you up.

יְהוָ֤ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

But when in their trouble they were turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, searching after him, he let their search be rewarded.
