1 And it came to be, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of Yahweh, and all Israēl with him.

1 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἡτοιμάσθη ἡ βασιλεία Ῥοβοὰμ καὶ ὡς κατεκρατήθη, ἐγκατέλιπεν τὰς ἐντολὰς κυρίου καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.	1 Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἡτοιμάσθη ἡ βασιλεία Ῥοβοὰμ καὶ ὡς κατεκρατήθη, ἐγκατέλιπε τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.

2 And it came to be, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against Yahweh,

2 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας Ῥοβοὰμ ἀνέβη Σουσακὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὅτι ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον κυρίου,	2 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ πέμπτῳ τῆς βασιλείας Ῥοβοὰμ ἀνέβη Σουσακὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὅτι ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον Κυρίου,

3 ἐν χιλίοις καὶ διακοσίοις ἅρμασιν καὶ ἑξήκοντα χιλιάσιν ἵππων, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμὸς τοῦ πλήθους τοῦ ἐλθόντος μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, Λίβυες, Τρωγλοδύται καὶ Αἰθίοπες.	3 ἐν χιλίοις καὶ διακοσίοις ἅρμασι καὶ ἑξήκοντα χιλιάσιν ἵππων, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμὸς τοῦ πλήθους τοῦ ἐλθόντος μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, Λίβυες, Τρωγοδύται καὶ Αἰθίοπες.

4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

4 καὶ κατεκράτησαν τῶν πόλεων τῶν ὀχυρῶν, αἳ ἦσαν ἐν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.	4 καὶ κατεκράτησαν τῶν πόλεων τῶν ὀχυρῶν, αἳ ἦσαν ἐν Ἰούδᾳ καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
4 And they obtained possession of the strong cities, which were in Jouda, and came to Jerousalēm.	4 And they obtained possession of the strong cities, which were in Jouda, and came to Jerousalēm.

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

5 καὶ Σαμαίας ὁ προφήτης ἦλθεν πρὸς Ῥοβοὰμ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ἰούδα τοὺς συναχθέντας εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ προσώπου Σουσακὶμ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ὑμεῖς ἐγκατελίπετέ με, κἀγὼ ἐγκαταλείψω ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ Σουσακίμ.	5 καὶ Σαμαίας ὁ προφήτης ἦλθε πρὸς Ῥοβοὰμ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ἰούδα τοὺς συναχθέντας εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ προσώπου Σουσακὶμ καὶ εἶπε αὐτοῖς· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ὑμεῖς ἐγκατελίπετέ με, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐγκαταλείψω ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ Σουσακίμ.

6 Whereupon the princes of Israēl and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Yahweh is righteous.

6 καὶ ᾐσχύνθησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπαν δίκαιος ὁ κύριος.	6 καὶ ᾐσχύνθησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπαν· δίκαιος ὁ Κύριος.
6 And the elders of Israēl and the king were ashamed, and said, The Lord is righteous.	6 And the elders of Israēl and the king were ashamed, and said, The Lord is righteous.

7 And when Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I won’t destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

7 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν κύριον ὅτι ἐνετράπησαν, καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Σαμαίαν λέγων ἐνετράπησαν, οὐ καταφθερῶ αὐτούς· καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς ὡς μικρὸν εἰς σωτηρίαν, καὶ οὐ μὴ στάξῃ ὁ θυμός μου ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ,	7 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν Κύριον ὅτι ἐνετράπησαν, καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Σαμαίαν λέγων· ἐνετράπησαν, οὐ καταφθερῶ αὐτούς· καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς ὡς μικρὸς εἰς σωτηρίαν, καὶ οὐ μὴ στάξῃ ὁ θυμός μου ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ,

8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

8 ὅτι ἔσονται εἰς παῖδας καὶ γνώσονται τὴν δουλείαν μου καὶ τὴν δουλείαν τῆς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς.	8 ὅτι ἔσονται εἰς παῖδας καὶ γνώσονται τὴν δουλείαν μου καὶ τὴν δουλείαν τῆς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς.

9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

9 καὶ ἀνέβη Σουσακὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως, τὰ πάντα ἔλαβεν· καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς θυρεοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς, οὓς ἐποίησεν Σαλωμών,	9 καὶ ἀνέβη Σουσακὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἔλαβε τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως, τὰ πάντα ἔλαβε· καὶ ἔλαβε τοὺς θυρεοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς, οὓς ἐποίησε Σαλωμών,

10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king’s house.

10 καὶ ἐποίησεν Ῥοβοὰμ θυρεοὺς χαλκοῦς ἀντ’ αὐτῶν. καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν Σουσακὶμ ἄρχοντας παρατρεχόντων τοὺς φυλάσσοντας τὸν πυλῶνα τοῦ βασιλέως·	10 καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ῥοβοὰμ θυρεοὺς χαλκοῦς ἀντ’ αὐτῶν. καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν Σουσακὶμ ἄρχοντας παρατρεχόντων, τοὺς φυλάσσοντας τὸν πυλῶνα τοῦ βασιλέως.
10 And king Roboam made copper-alloy shields instead of them. And Susakim set over him captains of footmen, as keepers of the gate of the king.	10 And king Roboam made copper-alloy shields instead of them. And Susakim set over him captains of footmen, as keepers of the gate of the king.

11 And when the king entered into the house of Yahweh, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.

11 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἰσελθεῖν τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον κυρίου, εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ φυλάσσοντες καὶ οἱ παρατρέχοντες καὶ οἱ ἐπιστρέφοντες εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῶν παρατρεχόντων.	11 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἰσελθεῖν τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου. εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ φυλάσσοντες καὶ οἱ παρατρέχοντες καὶ οἱ ἐπιστρέφοντες εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῶν παρατρεχόντων.

12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of Yahweh turned from him that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in Judah things went well.

12 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐντραπῆναι αὐτὸν ἀπεστράφη ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ὀργὴ κυρίου καὶ οὐκ εἰς καταφθορὰν εἰς τέλος· καὶ γὰρ ἐν Ἰούδα ἦσαν λόγοι ἀγαθοί.	12 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐντραπῆναι αὐτὸν ἀπεστράφη ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ὀργὴ Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ εἰς καταφθορὰν εἰς τέλος· καὶ γὰρ ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἦσαν λόγοι ἀγαθοί.

13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was 41 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned 17 years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israēl, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

13 καὶ κατίσχυσεν Ῥοβοὰμ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν· καὶ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἑνὸς ἐτῶν Ῥοβοὰμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν καὶ ἑπτακαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῇ πόλει, ᾗ ἐξελέξατο κύριος ἐπονομάσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Νοομμὰ ἡ Ἀμμανῖτις.	13 Καὶ κατίσχυσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ῥοβοὰμ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐβασίλευσε. καὶ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἑνὸς ἐτῶν Ῥοβοὰμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν καὶ ἑπτακαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ἐν τῇ πόλει, ᾗ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος ἐπονομάσαι τό ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Νοομμὰ ἡ Ἀμανῖτις.
13 So king Roboam strengthened himself in Jerousalēm, and reigned; and Roboam was 40 and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned 17 years in Jerousalēm, in the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of the sons of Israēl to call his name there; and his mother’s name was Noomma the Ammanitess.	13 So king Roboam strengthened himself in Jerousalēm, and reigned; and Roboam was 40 and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned 17 years in Jerousalēm, in the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of the sons of Israēl to call his name there; and his mother’s name was Noomma the Ammanitess.

14 And he did evil, because he didn’t prepar his heart to seek Yahweh.

14 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρόν, ὅτι οὐ κατεύθυνεν τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον.	14 καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν, ὅτι οὐ κατεύθυνε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον.
14 And he did evil, for he didn’t direct his heart to seek the Lord.	14 And he did evil, for he didn’t direct his heart to seek the Lord.

15 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.

15 καὶ λόγοι Ῥοβοὰμ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι οὐκ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐν τοῖς λόγοις Σαμαίᾳ τοῦ προφήτου καὶ Ἀδδὼ τοῦ ὁρῶντος καὶ πράξεις αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἐπολέμει Ῥοβοὰμ τὸν Ἰεροβοὰμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.	15 καὶ λόγοι Ῥοβοὰμ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ ἔσχατοι οὐκ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐν τοῖς λόγοις Σαμαία τοῦ προφήτου καὶ Ἀδδὼ τοῦ ὁρῶντος καὶ πράξεις αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἐπολέμησε Ῥοβοὰμ τὸν Ἱεροβοὰμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
15 And the acts of Roboam, the first and the last, behold, are they not written in the book of Samaia the prophet, and Addo the seer, with his achievements.	15 And the acts of Roboam, the first and the last, behold, are they not written in the book of Samaia the prophet, and Addo the seer, with his achievements.

16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

16 καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ῥοβοὰμ καὶ ἐτάφη μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀβιὰ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.	16 καὶ ἀπέθανε Ῥοβοὰμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀβιὰ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.
