Commentary on the chapter (in Russian)
1It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
Commentary, v. 1 (in Russian)
. Неверность Ровоама Иегове (сн. ст. 5 и ) подробнее изображена в 3 Цар XIV:21–24 Толков. Библия II, 476.
2It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against the Lord,
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.
4He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
Commentary, vv. 2–4 (in Russian)
. О нашествии Сусакима, как наказании за беззакония Ровоама, говорится и в 3 Цар XIV:25–26 (см.Толков. Библию II, 476), но во 2 Пар рассказ этот является восполненным несколькими частностями. Так показана (ст. 3) численность колесниц (1 200) и всадников (60 000) войска Сусакимова, а также отмечен разноплеменный состав этого войска: кроме собственно египтян, в нем были еще представители других народностей, очевидно африканских, подчиненных Египту: «Ливитяне, Сукхиты и Ефиопляне». Ливийцы (евр. лувим или легавим, Быт X:13; Наум III:9; Дан XI:43) обитали по северному побережью Африки, вблизи нынешнего Алжира и далее к востоку (ср. Толков. Библия т. I, с. 326). Ефиоплянами (евр. кутим ) обычно называются в Библии жители страны, соответствовавшей нынешней Нубии и Абиссинии, хотя иногда это имя означает территорию и народность к северу от Персидского залива. (См. Толков. Библию т. I, с. 325; т. II, с. 524). «Сукхиты», евр. суккиим, недостаточно известны LXX, Vulg., слав.: «Троглодиты», обитатели пещер и шатров, по наиболее принятому мнению, — кочевое племя на западном берегу Черного моря (родственное ефиоплянам).
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, "Thus says the Lord, 'You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'"
6Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "The Lord is righteous."
7When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."
Commentary, vv. 5–8 (in Russian)
. О деятельности пророка Самея — современника и бытописателя Ровоама (ст. 15), об обличительной проповеди этого пророка и благотворных последствиях этой проповеди известие находится также только во 2 Пар и имеет все признаки документального свидетельства очевидца или участника события пророка.
9So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, 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.
10King Rehoboam made in their place shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
11It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of the Lord, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
Commentary, vv. 9–11 (in Russian)
. Буквальное повторение 3 Цар XIV:25–28 (ср. Толков. Библия II, 476).
12When he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.
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: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
Commentary, v. 13 (in Russian)
и 16 сн. 4 Цар XIV:21 и 31.
14He did that which was evil, because he did not set his heart to seek the Lord.
15Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
