Exegesis
The main verb ba {בָּ֣א | bāʾ} ‘came’ moves the narrative to a confrontation scene, and the destination phrase el-rechavam {אֶל־רְחַבְעָ֔ם | ʾel-rəḥavʿām} is expanded by coordination with vesarei yehudah {וְשָׂרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה | wə-sārê yə-hûdāh} ‘the officials of Judah.’
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.’”
