Exegesis
The relative clause asher-neesfu {אֲשֶׁר־נֶאֶסְפ֥וּ | ʾăšer-neʾespû} ‘who had assembled’ narrows the audience and is paired with the causal phrase mipnei shishaq {מִפְּנֵ֣י שִׁישָׁ֑ק | mippenê šîšāq} ‘because of Shishak,’ foregrounding threat-driven circumstances.
In context — 2 Chronicles 12:5
And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the officials of Judah who had assembled in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, “Thus says the LORD : ‘You have abandoned Me, and I have also abandoned you into the hand of Shishak.’”
