2Ch 12:1-12.
REHOBOAM, FORSAKING GOD, IS PUNISHED BY SHISHAK.
1. when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself--(See on
2Ch 11:17).
During the first three years of his reign his royal influence was exerted in the encouragement of the true religion. Security and ease led to religious decline, which, in the fourth year, ended in open apostasy. The example of the court was speedily followed by his subjects, for "all Israel was with him," that is, the people in his own kingdom. The very next year, the fifth of his reign, punishment was inflicted by the invasion of Shishak.

2. 埃及王示撒上来攻取耶路撒冷——他是第二十二王朝（即布巴斯提王朝）的开国之君。这次入侵的直接原因是什么？是出于对犹大王某种挑衅的报复，还是出于征服的野心，经文并未说明。但入侵的军队是一支庞大的军旅，因为示撒除了本国的埃及人之外，还带来了大批外邦的辅助部队。
英文原文
2. Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem--He was the first king of the twenty-second or Bubastic Dynasty. What was the immediate cause of this invasion? Whether it was in resentment for some provocation from the king of Judah, or in pursuance of ambitious views of conquest, is not said. But the invading army was a vast horde, for Shishak brought along with his native Egyptians an immense number of foreign auxiliaries.

3-5. 路比人——即非洲东北部的利比亚人。
苏基人——有人认为这些是住帐棚的基尼族阿拉伯人，但另有人更合理地认为这些是阿拉伯的穴居人，居住在红海西岸一带山脉的洞穴中。
古实人——来自埃及以南的地区。他们以压倒性的人数攻取了犹大近来设防的堡垒，进而前来围攻京城。当示撒和他的军队兵临耶路撒冷城下时，先知示玛雅向罗波安和众首领说话，将这场灾祸归因于全民的背道，并警告他们因离弃神将遭彻底的毁灭
(2Ch 12:6)。
英文原文
3-5. the Lubims--the Libyans of northeastern Africa.
the Sukkiims--Some think these were the Kenite Arabs, dwellers in tents, but others maintain more justly that these were Arab troglodytes, who inhabited the caverns of a mountain range on the western coast of the Red Sea.
and the Ethiopians--from the regions south of Egypt. By the overwhelming force of numbers, they took the fortresses of Judah which had been recently put in a state of defense, and marched to lay siege to the capital. While Shishak and his army was before Jerusalem, the prophet Shemaiah addressed Rehoboam and the princes, tracing this calamity to the national apostasy and threatening them with utter destruction in consequence of having forsaken God
(2Ch 12:6).

7, 8. 耶和华见他们自卑——他们的悔改与痛悔带来了最好的果效；因为示玛雅奉命宣告：神审判的杯不会完全倾倒在他们身上——犹大国的全面倾覆不会在此时发生，也不会借示撒之手而成；然而，它虽可免于彻底颠覆，〔犹大〕却要成为埃及的纳贡省，好使百姓知道：事奉神比起事奉拜偶像的外邦暴君，其轭要轻省得多、好得多了。
英文原文
7, 8. when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves--Their repentance and contrition was followed by the best effects; for Shemaiah was commissioned to announce that the phial of divine judgment would not be fully poured out on them--that the entire overthrow of the kingdom of Judah would not take place at that time, nor through the agency of Shishak; and yet, although it should enjoy a respite from total subversion, [Judah] should become a tributary province of Egypt in order that the people might learn how much lighter and better is the service of God than that of idolatrous foreign despots.

9. 于是示撒……上来攻打耶路撒冷——在描述被围朝廷之情态与处境的括号经段
(2Ch 12:5-8)
之后，史家继续叙述攻打耶路撒冷之事，以及随之而来的圣殿与王宫被劫。
他夺了——即他所发现的一切有价值之物。那些挡牌和盾牌的价值估计约为 239,000 镑 [内皮尔（NAPIER），《古代金属工人》（Ancient Workers in Metal）]。
金盾牌——所罗门所造的，原存于黎巴嫩林宫
(2Ch 9:16)。
这些盾牌似乎像权杖一样，在亲卫随王赴圣殿或其他公开游行时由他们捧持。这些华美的徽记既被埃及征服者所掠夺，便另以次等金属制造，存放在王宫的卫队室中以备不时之需；因为尽管朝廷的荣华已黯然失色，公开庄严场合仍旧沿用旧时的朝仪。这次征服犹大的记述，按照解者的说法，其主角俘虏的椭圆框中有「犹大王」之名，以象形文字刻写在卡纳克大宫殿的墙上，至今仍可看见。这雕刻约有两千七百年的历史，作为埃及对圣经历史真实性的有力见证，具有特殊的意义。
英文原文
9. So Shishak . . . came up against Jerusalem--After the parenthetical clause
(2Ch 12:5-8)
describing the feelings and state of the beleaguered court, the historian resumes his narrative of the attack upon Jerusalem, and the consequent pillage both of the temple and the palace.
he took all--that is, everything valuable he found. The cost of the targets and shields has been estimated at about £239,000 [NAPIER, Ancient Workers in Metal].
the shields of gold--made by Solomon, were kept in the house of the forest of Lebanon
(2Ch 9:16).
They seem to have been borne, like maces, by the guards of the palace, when they attended the king to the temple or on other public processions. Those splendid insignia having been plundered by the Egyptian conqueror, others were made of inferior metal and kept in the guard room of the palace, to be ready for use; as, notwithstanding the tarnished glory of the court, the old state etiquette was kept up on public and solemn occasions. An account of this conquest of Judah, with the name of "king of Judah" in the cartouche of the principal captive, according to the interpreters, is carved and written in hieroglyphics on the walls of the great palace of Karnak, where it may be seen at the present day. This sculpture is about twenty-seven hundred years old, and is of peculiar interest as a striking testimony from Egypt to the truth of Scripture history.

12. 他自卑的时候，耶和华的怒气就转离了——应许
(2Ch 12:7)
得了应验。神借着护理之恩保存了王国，朝廷中也有所改革，真道和敬虔也传遍全地。
英文原文
12. when he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him--The promise
(2Ch 12:7)
was verified. Divine providence preserved the kingdom in existence, a reformation was made in the court, while true religion and piety were diffused throughout the land.

2Ch 12:13-16.
他的作王与去世
13, 14. 罗波安自强……作王——埃及的入侵不过是一次掠夺性的远征，并未越过犹大疆界，大概不久便被入侵者所击退。罗波安的政权因真道的普遍复兴而获得了新的活力，其作王在示撒离去之后又延续了多年。但是
罗波安没有立定心意寻求耶和华——即他没有坚持他所开始的良好改革路线，「他行恶」，因为因他母亲——一个外邦人——的不幸影响，他幼年无疑已深受偶像崇拜的偏见所左右（参看
1Ki 14:21
的注释）。
英文原文
2Ch 12:13-16.
HIS REIGN AND DEATH.
13, 14. Rehoboam strengthened . . . and reigned--The Egyptian invasion had been a mere predatory expedition, not extending beyond the limits of Judah, and probably, ere long, repelled by the invaded. Rehoboam's government acquired new life and vigor by the general revival of true religion, and his reign continued many years after the departure of Shishak. But
he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord--that is, he did not adhere firmly to the good course of reformation he had begun, "and he did evil," for through the unhappy influence of his mother, a heathen foreigner, he had no doubt received in his youth a strong bias towards idolatry (see on
1Ki 14:21).
2Ch 12:1-12.
罗波安离弃神，被示撒所惩罚
1. 罗波安的国既坚立，他也强盛了——（参看
2Ch 11:17
的注释）。
在他作王的头三年里，他以其王权鼓励真道的信仰。安逸无虞导致了信仰的衰退，到了第四年，终于演变为公开的背道。朝廷的榜样很快被臣民效法，因为「以色列人都随从他」，即他本国中的百姓。就在第二年——也就是他作王第五年——神便借示撒的入侵施行了惩罚。
