Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the LORD’s law, and all Israel with him.
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ὡς ἡτοιμάσθη ἡ βασιλεία Ροβοὰμ καὶ ὡς κατεκρατήθη, ἐγκατέλιπε τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετ' αὐτοῦ.
2In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against the LORD,
2καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ πέμπτῳ τῆς βασιλείας Ροβοὰμ ἀνέβη Σουσακὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὅτι ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον Κυρίου,
3with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
3ἐν χιλίοις καὶ διακοσίοις ἅρμασι καὶ ἑξήκοντα χιλιάσιν ἵππων, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμὸς τοῦ πλήθους τοῦ ἐλθόντος μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, Λίβυες, Τρωγοδύται καὶ Αἰθίοπες.
4He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
4καὶ κατεκράτησαν τῶν πόλεων τῶν ὀχυρῶν, αἳ ἦσαν ἐν Ἰούδᾳ, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
5Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “The LORD says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”
5καὶ Σαμαίας ὁ προφήτης ἦλθε πρὸς Ροβοὰμ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ἰούδα τοὺς συναχθέντας εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ προσώπου Σουσακὶμ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ὑμεῖς ἐγκατελίπετέ με, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐγκαταλείψω ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ Σουσακίμ.
6Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “The LORD is righteous.”
6καὶ ᾐσχύνθησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπαν· δίκαιος ὁ Κύριος.
7When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
7καὶ 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,
8Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
8ὅτι ἔσονται εἰς παῖδας καὶ γνώσονται τὴν δουλείαν μου καὶ τὴν δουλείαν τῆς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς.
9So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
9καὶ 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,
10King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
10καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ θυρεοὺς χαλκοῦς ἀντ' αὐτῶν. καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπ' αὐτὸν Σουσακὶμ ἄρχοντας παρατρεχόντων, τοὺς φυλάσσοντας τὸν πυλῶνα τοῦ βασιλέως.
11As often as the king entered into the LORD’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.
11καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἰσελθεῖν τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου. εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ φυλάσσοντες καὶ οἱ παρατρέχοντες καὶ οἱ ἐπιστρέφοντες εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῶν παρατρεχόντων.
12When he humbled himself, the LORD’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.
12καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐντραπῆναι αὐτὸν ἀπεστράφη ἀπ' αὐτοῦ ὀργὴ Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ εἰς καταφθορὰν εἰς τέλος· καὶ γὰρ ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἦσαν λόγοι ἀγαθοί.
13So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
13Καὶ κατίσχυσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐβασίλευσε. καὶ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἑνὸς ἐτῶν Ροβοὰμ 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.
14He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek the LORD.
14καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν, ὅτι οὐ κατεύθυνε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον.
15Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
15καὶ λόγοι Ροβοὰμ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ ἔσχατοι οὐκ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐν τοῖς λόγοις Σαμαία τοῦ προφήτου καὶ Ἀδδὼ τοῦ ὁρῶντος καὶ πράξεις αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἐπολέμησε Ροβοὰμ τὸν Ἱεροβοὰμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
16Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
16καὶ ἀπέθανε Ροβοὰμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀβιὰ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ' αὐτοῦ.
