Abijam succeeds Rehoboam In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign Rehoboam was the son of Solomon and the first king of the southern kingdom of Judah after the united monarchy of Israel split. His reign began around 930 BC. The division of the kingdom occurred due to Rehoboam's harsh policies, which led to the northern tribes rebelling and forming their own kingdom under Jeroboam. The fifth year of Rehoboam's reign would be approximately 925 BC. This period was marked by political instability and spiritual decline, as Rehoboam and the people of Judah turned away from the Lord, leading to divine judgment. Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem Persons / Places / Events 1. King RehoboamThe son of Solomon and king of Judah, whose reign was marked by division and conflict. His failure to heed wise counsel led to the split of the united kingdom of Israel. 2. Shishak, King of Egypt The Pharaoh who invaded Judah during Rehoboam's reign. His attack is seen as a divine judgment against Judah for their unfaithfulness. 3. Jerusalem The capital city of Judah, which held the temple built by Solomon. It was the spiritual and political center of the kingdom. 4. The Fifth Year of Rehoboam's Reign This marks a significant point in Rehoboam's rule, highlighting the consequences of his and the nation's actions. 5. Attack on Jerusalem This event signifies a turning point and a divine warning to the people of Judah about their spiritual state. Teaching Points Consequences of DisobedienceRehoboam's failure to follow God's commandments led to national calamity. Disobedience to God often results in negative consequences, both personally and collectively. Divine Judgment and Mercy Shishak's invasion serves as a reminder of God's judgment but also His mercy, as He allows challenges to bring His people back to Him. Leadership and Responsibility Leaders have a significant impact on the spiritual and moral direction of their people. Rehoboam's poor leadership choices had dire consequences for Judah. The Importance of Spiritual Vigilance The attack on Jerusalem underscores the need for constant spiritual vigilance and faithfulness to God to avoid falling into sin and its repercussions. Historical Context and Spiritual Lessons Understanding the historical context of biblical events can provide deeper spiritual insights and lessons applicable to our lives today.(25) Shishak.--His invasion is narrated at greater length in the record of Chronicles (2Chronicles 12:2-12), which contains a description of his army, and a notice of the preservation of Jerusalem from destruction, though not from surrender, on the repentance of the people at the call of Shemaiah. It records also the taking of "fenced cities," having noticed previously the fortifications of many such "cities of defence" by Rehoboam (2Chronicles 11:5-10). This record is remarkably confirmed by the celebrated inscription at Karnak (see Dict. of the Bible: "SHISHAK") enumerating the conquests of Sheshenk (Shishak), in which names of cities, partly in Judah, partly in Israel, are traced. The latter are Levitical or Canaanitish cities; and it has been conjectured that, much as the Pharaoh of Solomon's day took Gezer and gave it to Israel (see 1Kings 9:16), so the Egyptian army, coming as allies of Jeroboam, took, or helped him to take, those cities which were hostile or disloyal to him. It is not unlikely that the whole invasion was instigated by Jeroboam, in that desire to crush the kingdom of Judah which afterwards suggested his war with Abijam. (See 2 Chronicles 13)Verse 25. - And it came to pass in the fifth year [that is, two years after king and people forsook the law of the Lord (2 Chronicles 12:11). Retribution seems to have overtaken Judah sooner than Israel. They had the less excuse, and they seem to have plunged deeper into idolatry and immorality (see Homiletics, p. 335)] of King Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt [to whom Jeroboam had fled (1 Kings 11:26, 40)] came up against Jerusalem. [This expedition is related with somewhat more of detail in 2 Chronicles 12:2-4. For Shishak, see 1 Kings 11:40. It was in the twentieth year of his reign that Shishak, once Jeroboam's protector and friend, invaded Palestine. It has been conjectured (Ewald, al.) that he was incited so to do by Jeroboam, and that the two kings waged war against Judah in concert (see on ver. 30). But as to this Scripture is silent; and moreover if Jeroboam summoned Shishak to his assistance, it is certain that his own kingdom did not altogether escape invasion; and it is perhaps more probable that the divided and weakened state of the country seemed to promise the Egyptian king an easy capture of Jerusalem, of the treasures of which he had doubtless heard. It is well known that a record of this expedition exists in the sculptures and inscriptions of the great temple at Karnak. The bassi relievi of the temple wall contain over 130 figures, representatives, as the names on the shields show, of so many conquered cities. Amongst these are found three of the "cities for defence" which Rehoboam had built, viz., Shoco, Adoraim, and Aijalon (2 Chronicles 11:7-10), while many other towns of Palestine, such as Gibeon, Taanach, Shunem, Megiddo, etc., are identified with more or less of probability. One feature in the list is remarkable, viz., the number of Levitical and Canaanite cities - cities of Israel - which Shishak is said to have conquered. The usual inference is that such cities, although in Jeroboam's dominions, had nevertheless held out against his rule - the former for religious reasons; the latter, perhaps, in the effort to recover their independence. Mr. Peele, however (Dict. Bib., art. "Egypt" ), accounts for the names on the supposition that Shishak directed, his forces against the northern as well as the southern kingdom, and certainly this seems to agree better with the facts. It is hardly likely that Jeroboam, with the army at his command, would tolerate so many centres of disaffection in his midst. Besides, the Levites, we are told, had migrated in a body to Judah; and the Canaanites at this period can hardly have been in a position to defy any Hebrew monarch. The silence alike of our historian and of the chronicler as to the invasion of Israel is easily accounted for by the fact that Judah bore the brunt of the war.] Parallel Commentaries ...
