1 KINGS 14:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.”
In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem — The southern kingdom faces military invasion as judgment for apostasy. Shishak's Egyptian invasion materializes the threat that prophets had warned about. The phrase בִּשְׁנַת־חֲמִישִׁית לַמֶּלֶךְ רְחַבְעָם (in the fifth year of King Rehoboam) dates the invasion precisely.
