Context — Shishak Raids Jerusalem
1After Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he and all Israel with him forsook the Law of the LORD.
2In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem
3with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and countless troops who came with him out of Egypt—Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
4He captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem. 5Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, “This is what the LORD says: ‘You have forsaken Me; therefore, I have forsaken you into the hand of Shishak.’”Cross References

2 Chronicles 12:3 Summary
This verse describes the large army that Shishak king of Egypt brought to attack Jerusalem, which included 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and many other troops from neighboring nations. This army was a powerful force that posed a significant threat to the kingdom of Judah, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of trusting in God rather than in human strength or alliances, as seen in Psalm 20:7. The presence of this army also highlights the consequences of turning away from God's Law, as seen in 2 Chronicles 12:1-2. By reflecting on this verse, we can learn the importance of trusting in God's power and provision, rather than in our own strength or resources, as emphasized in Proverbs 3:5-6.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the large army that Shishak king of Egypt brought with him?
The large army, consisting of 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and countless troops, including Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites, demonstrates the vast resources and power that Shishak had at his disposal, making him a formidable foe for Rehoboam and the kingdom of Judah, as seen in 2 Chronicles 12:3.
Who were the Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites that came with Shishak?
The Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites were neighboring nations that allied themselves with Egypt, and their presence in Shishak's army suggests that Egypt had formed alliances with various nations to strengthen its military power, similar to the alliances formed by other kingdoms in the ancient Near East, such as those mentioned in 2 Kings 17:4.
How does this verse relate to the overall narrative of 2 Chronicles?
This verse is part of the narrative of Rehoboam's reign, which highlights the consequences of turning away from the Law of the LORD, as seen in 2 Chronicles 12:1-2, and the subsequent attack by Shishak king of Egypt, which serves as a judgment from God, as stated in 2 Chronicles 12:5.
What can we learn from the military might of Shishak's army?
The military might of Shishak's army serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of human power and the importance of trusting in God, as emphasized in Psalm 20:7, which says, 'Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.'
Reflection Questions
- What are the spiritual implications of forming alliances with those who do not share our values or faith, as seen in the alliance between Egypt and the Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites?
- How can we, like Rehoboam, be tempted to trust in our own strength and resources rather than in God, and what are the consequences of such actions, as seen in 2 Chronicles 12:1-5?
- What role does God's judgment play in the narrative of 2 Chronicles, and how can we apply this to our own lives, as seen in 2 Chronicles 12:5 and Romans 11:22?
- How can we, as believers, balance our trust in God's sovereignty with the reality of living in a world where evil and opposition exist, as seen in the attack by Shishak king of Egypt?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 12:3
With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen; and the people were without number,.... The foot soldiers; their number, according to Josephus (h) was 400,000: that came with him out
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 12:3
With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. The Lubims - the Libyans of northeastern Africa.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 12:3
The Lubims; a people of Africa bordering upon Egypt; of whom See Poole ""; See Poole ""; See Poole "". The Sukkiims; a people living in tents, as the word signifies; and such there were not far from Egypt, both in Africa and in Arabia. The Ethiopians; either those beyond Egypt, or the Arabians.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 12:3
2 Chronicles 12:3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people [were] without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.Ver. 3. The Lubims.] Or, Lybians. The Sukkiims.] Or, Scenites, such as dwelt in tents. The same are called Nomades and Troglodytes, of whom Mela saith that they were Nullarum opum domini, strident potius quam loquunur, specus subeunt, alunturque serpentibus, beggarly, barbarous, savage people, all which made against the Jews, but for the fulfilling of God’ s threatenings. Lib. i.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 12:3
(3) With twelve hundred chariots.—The short account in Kings says nothing of the numbers or constituents of the invading host. The totals here assigned are probably round numbers founded on a rough estimate. The cavalry are exactly fifty times as many as the chariots. Thenius finds the numbers “not in credible.” The Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethi-opians.—Rather, Lybians, Sukkîyans, and Cushites (without the definite article). These were “the people”—i.e., the footmen. The Lybians and Cushites are mentioned together as auxiliaries of Egypt in Nahum 3:9. (Comp. 2 Chronicles 16:8.) The Sukkîyans are unknown, but the LXX. and Vulg. render Troglodytes, or cave-dwellers, meaning, it would seem, the Ethiopian Troglodytes of the mountains on the western shore of the Arabian Gulf. (Comp. sukkô, “his lair,” Psalms 10:9.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 12:3
Verse 3. The Lubims] Supposed to be a people of Libya, adjoining to Egypt; sometimes called Phut in Scripture, as the people are called Lehabim and Ludim. The Sukkiims] The Troglodytes, a people of Egypt on the coast of the Red Sea. They were called Troglodytes, Τρωγλοδυται, οἱταςτρωγλαςοικουντες, "because they dwelt in caves." - Hesych. This agrees with what Pliny says of them, Troglodytae specus excavant, haec illis domus; "The Troglodytes dig themselves caves; and these serve them for houses." This is not very different from the import of the original name סכיים Sukkiyim, from סכה sachah, to cover or overspread; (hence סוך such, a tabernacle;) the people who were covered (emphatically) under the earth. The Septuagint translate by the word Τρωγλοδυται, Troglodytes. The Ethiopians.] כושים Cushim. Various people were called by this name, particularly a people bordering on the northern coast of the Red Sea; but these are supposed to have come from a country of that name on the south of Egypt.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 12:3
3. with twelve hundred chariots] The details given in this verse are absent from 1 Kin. Lubims] R.V. Lubim (cp. 2 Chronicles 16:8). The “s” is not needed, “im” being a mark of the Heb. plural as in “Cherubim” and “Seraphim.” The Lubim are no doubt the Libyans. Sukkiims] R.V. Sukkiim. LXX. Τρωγλοδύται, i.e. the cave dwellers of the mountains which fringe the west coast of the Red Sea. But whether these are really meant here is doubtful.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Chronicles 12:3
twelve hundred chariots - This number is not unusnal (compare Exodus 14:7; 1 Kings 10:26).
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 12:3
3. The Lubim — Libyans, Daniel 11:43; probably identical with the Lehabim of Gen 10:13. They were an African nation, apparently under Egyptian rule, and are repeatedly mentioned in connexion with the Egyptians and Ethiopians.
