2 Chronicles 12

After establishing his kingdom, Rehoboam forsook the law of YHWH, leading Shishak king of Egypt to invade Judah and capture Jerusalem in his fifth year[1][2][3]. The prophet Shemaiah declared YHWH's abandonment due to their unfaithfulness; upon the king and leaders humbling themselves and confessing 'YHWH is righteous,' YHWH granted partial deliverance through Shemaiah, allowing subjection to Shishak to learn the difference between serving YHWH and foreign kings, after which Shishak plundered the temple and palace treasures, prompting Rehoboam to replace gold shields with bronze[1][3][4].
