4 He took power over Judah's strong cities. Then his army marched to attack Jerusalem.
5 The prophet Shemaiah then came to speak to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah. They had met together in Jerusalem because they were afraid of King Shishak. Shemaiah said to them, ‘The Lord says this: “You have turned away from me. So now I have turned away from you. I will let Shishak take power over you.” ’
6 The leaders of Israel and the king made themselves humble. They said, ‘The Lord is right to do that.’
