We present deep {it Spitzer} mid-infrared spectroscopy, along with 16, 24, 70, and 850,$micron$ photometry, for 22 galaxies located in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-North (GOODS-N) field. The sample spans a redshift range of $0.6la z la 2.6$, 24~$mu$m flux densities between $sim$0.2$-$1.2 mJy, and consists of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), X-ray or optically selected active galactic nuclei (AGN), and optically faint ($z_{AB}>25$,mag) sources. We find that infrared (IR; $8-1000~micron$) luminosities derived by fitting local spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with 24~$micron$ photometry alone are well matched to those when additional mid-infrared spectroscopic and longer wavelength photometric data is used for galaxies having $zla1.4$ and 24~$micron$-derived IR luminosities typically $la 3times 10^{12}~L_{sun}$. However, for galaxies in the redshift range between $1.4la z la 2.6$, typically having 24~$micron$-derived IR luminosities $ga 3times 10^{12}~L_{sun}$, IR luminosities are overestimated by an average factor of $sim$5 when SED fitting with 24~$micron$ photometry alone. This result arises partly due to the fact that high redshift galaxies exhibit aromatic feature equivalent widths that are large compared to local galaxies of similar luminosities. Through a spectral decomposition of mid-infrared spectroscopic data, we are able to isolate the fraction of IR luminosity arising from an AGN as opposed to star formation activity. This fraction is only able to account for $sim$30% of the total IR luminosity among the entire sample.
