1 Kings 14:22-31 ▼

22 And Judah did evil in the eyes of YHWH, and they provoked Him to jealousy more than all that their fathers had done by their sins that they sinned.

23 For they even built for themselves high places, and pillars, and Asherah poles, on every high hill and under every green tree.

24 And also there were male shrine prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that YHWH had cast out before the sons of Israel.

25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak King of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

26 And he took away the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he took the entirety, and he took all the gold shields that Solomon had made.

27 And King Rehoboam made in their place bronze shields and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guards who guarded the doorway of the house of the king.

28 And whenever the king entered the house of YHWH, the guards carried them and brought them back into the chamber guardroom.

29 And the rest of the acts of Rehoboam and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Days of the Kings of Judah?

30 And there was war between Rehoboam and between Jeroboam all the days.

31 And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. And the name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his place.
