5 Then ^gShemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says the Lord, ^h‘You abandoned me, so I have abandoned you to the hand of Shishak.’”

7 When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah: ^k“They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, ^land my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

15 ^tNow the acts of Rehoboam, ^ufrom first to last, are they not written in the chronicles of ^vShemaiah the prophet and of ^wIddo ^xthe seer?¹ There were continual wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
