Yahweh Is Righteous

Name Date

Read the Story

Rehoboam's kingdom grew strong. Then he left Yahweh's law, and all Israel did too. In the fifth year, Shishak king of Egypt came to Jerusalem with many chariots.

Shemaiah the prophet said, Yahweh says, You have forsaken me. Then the princes and the king humbled themselves. They said, Yahweh is righteous.

Yahweh saw that they were humble. He said, I will not destroy them. But they would serve Shishak for a while. Shishak took the gold. Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace the gold ones.

2 Chronicles 12 · Grade 4

Gold Shields and Bronze Shields

Name Date

Read and Think

When Rehoboam had established the kingdom and was strong, he forsook Yahweh's law, and all Israel with him. In his fifth year Shishak of Egypt came up with chariots, horsemen, and many people. He took the fortified cities of Judah and came to Jerusalem.

Shemaiah the prophet came to the king and the princes with Yahweh's word: because they had forsaken God, He had left them in the hand of Shishak. The princes and the king humbled themselves and said, Yahweh is righteous. God saw it and granted them some deliverance.

Yet they became Shishak's servants. So they would know the difference between serving God and serving the kings of the lands. Shishak took the treasures and the gold shields Solomon made, and Rehoboam replaced them with bronze. Because he humbled himself, God's wrath turned from him. But he did evil, because he did not set his heart to seek Yahweh.

2 Chronicles 12 · Grade 5

The Danger of Strength

Name Date

Read and Think

Chapter 12 opens with a warning. When Rehoboam became strong, he forsook Yahweh's law. Success led to pride, and pride led to unfaithfulness. In the fifth year, Shishak of Egypt invaded, took Judah's fortified cities, and came to Jerusalem. The fortresses of chapter 11 could not save them.

Shemaiah gave the diagnosis plainly: because they had forsaken God, He had left them to Shishak. The leaders and the king humbled themselves and confessed, Yahweh is righteous. God answered at once with mercy. He would not destroy them, but they would serve Shishak to learn the difference between God's service and the service of earthly kings.

Solomon's gold shields went to Egypt, and Rehoboam replaced them with bronze, a picture of glory lost. Still, because he humbled himself, God's wrath turned away, and there were good things in Judah. The final verdict is sobering: he did evil, because he did not set his heart to seek Yahweh. In the New Testament, Peter writes that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5).
