Chap. XII.
For the sinnes of Roboam, and the people manie strong cities, also Ierusalem;
are taken and spoyled by the king of Ægypt. 8. They repent, and the Ægyptians
depart, 9. but carie away the treasures. 13. Roboam dieth, and his
sonne Abias reigneth.
1 And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened
and fortified, he forsooke the law of our Lord, and al
Israel with him.
2 And in the fifth yeare of the kingdom of
Roboam, came vp Sesac the king of Ægypt into Ierusalem
(because they had sinned to our Lord)
3 with a thousand
two hundred chariotes, and threescore thousand horsemen:
neither was anie number of the common people, that came
with him out of Ægypt, to witte, Lybians, and Troglodytes,
and Æthiopians.
4 And he tooke the most sensed cities in
Iuda, and came ouer vnto Ierusalem.
5 And Semeias the prophete
went to Roboam, and to the princes of Iuda, that were
gathered together in Ierusalem, fleing from Sesac, and he sayd
to them: Thus sayth our Lord: You haue leaft me, and I haue
leaft you in the hand of Sesac.
6 And the princes of Israel,
and the king, being astonied, sayd: Our Lord is iust.
7 And
when our Lord had seene that they were humbled, the word
of our Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled,
I wil not destroy them, and I wil geue them a litle ayde,
and my furie shal not droppe vpon Ierusalem by the hand
of Sesac.
8 But yet they shal serue him, that they may know
the distance of my seruice, and of the seruice of the kingdom
of the earth.
9 Therfore Sesac the king of Æpypt retyred
from Ierusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of
our Lord, and of the kinges house, and he tooke al thinges
with him, and the golden shieldes that Salomon had made,
10 for the which the king made brasen ones, and deliuered
them to the princes of the shieldbearers, which kept the

entrance of the palace.
11 And when the king entred into the
house of our Lord, the shieldbearers came, and tooke them,
& brought them backe agayne to their armorie.
12 But yet because
they were humbled, the wrath of our Lord was turned
away from them, neither were they vtterly destroyed: for in
Iuda there were found good workes.
13 King Roboam therfore
was strengthened in Ierusalem, & reigned: one and fourtie
yeares old was he when he beganne to reigne, and he reigned
seuentene yeares in Ierusalem, the citie, which our Lord
chose, to confirme his name there, out of al the tribes of Israel:
and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonite.
14 And
he did euil, and prepared not his hart to seke our Lord.
15 But
the workes of Roboam the first and the last are writen in the
Bookes of Semeias the Prophete, and of Addo the Seer, and
diligently expounded: and Roboam and Ietoboam fought
one agaynst the other al their daies.
16 And Roboam slept
with his fathers, and was buried in the citie of Dauid. And
Abias his sonne reigned for him.
