The reign and death of Rehoboam With twelve hundred chariots The mention of "twelve hundred chariots" signifies a formidable military force. In ancient warfare, chariots were a symbol of power and technological advancement. The Hebrew word for chariot, "רֶכֶב" (rekeb), often denotes a vehicle of war, emphasizing the might and preparedness of Shishak's army. Historically, Egypt was known for its chariotry, which played a crucial role in its military campaigns. This detail underscores the threat posed to Judah, highlighting the gravity of the situation Rehoboam faced. sixty thousand horsemen and countless troops who came with him out of Egypt Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites The Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethi-opians.--Rather, Lybians, Sukkiyans, 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. 2Chronicles 16:8.) The Sukkiyans 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. sukko, "his lair," Psalm 10:9.) Verse 3. - Twelve hundred chariots. The parallel does not give the numbers.

The letter s is orthographically redundant in this, as also in the following names, the forms being already plural. The Lubim mean the Libyans, west of Egypt. They are probably the people represented on the Egyptian monuments as Lebu, of Semitic type, subjugated by Egypt's kings in the thirteenth century B.C. They were among the oldest of colonists, that drifted along the coast of Africa, north of the Great Desert, from the East, and are perhaps the same as the Lehabim (Genesis 10:13; 2 Chronicles 16:8; Nahum 3:9; Daniel 11:43; Jeremiah 46:9; Ezekiel 38:5). Sukkiims. Probably an Arab tribe, though the Septuagint Version gives Τρωγοδύται, as though taking them for Troglodytes in the hills west of the Red Sea; so, too, the Vulgate. Gesenius at once renders the סֻכִּיִּים tent-dwellers, and sets the people in question down for some African tribe. They are not mentioned elsewhere so as to be recognized. Ethiopians. These were ethnically Cushites, but the territorial application of the term was confined to the African Cushite settlers. It is remarkable that, in 2 Chronicles 21:16, Ethiopians are classed with Arabians, but otherwise with African peoples, and in particular Egypt (Psalm 68:31; Isaiah 20:3, 4; Isaiah 43:3; Isaiah 45:14; Jeremiah 46:9; Ezekiel 30:5; Ezekiel 38:5). They were many-tribed, and the Sabaeans were a leading tribe of them. It is evident that Shishak could draw from a large and varied dominion subject to his dynasty at this time.Parallel Commentaries ...
