1 Kings 14:19-29

19As for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JeroboamH3379, howH834 he waged warH3898 and howH834 he reignedH4427, they are indeedH2009 writtenH3789 inH5921 the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.

20And the lengthH3117 of Jeroboam’sH3379 reignH4427 was twenty-twoH6242H8147 yearsH8141, and he restedH7901 withH5973 his fathersH1, and his sonH1121 NadabH5070 reignedH4427 in his placeH8478.

21Meanwhile, RehoboamH7346 sonH1121 of SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JudahH3063. He was forty-oneH705H259 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he became kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 seventeenH7651H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 the LORDH3068 had chosenH977 from allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 in whichH834 to putH7760 His NameH8034H8033. His mother’sH517 nameH8034 was NaamahH5279 the AmmoniteH5984.

22And JudahH3063 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and by the sinsH2403 they committedH2398 they provoked Him to jealous angerH7065 more than allH3605 their fathersH1 had doneH6213. 23TheyH1992 alsoH1571 builtH1129 for themselves high placesH1116, sacred pillarsH4676, and Asherah polesH842 onH5921 everyH3605 highH1364 hillH1389 and underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086. 24There wereH1961 evenH1571 male shrine prostitutesH6945 in the landH776. They imitatedH6213 allH3605 the abominationsH8441 of the nationsH1471 the LORDH3068 had driven outH3423 beforeH6440 the IsraelitesH1121H3478.

In the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of Rehoboam’sH7346 reignH4428, ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 attackedH5927H5921 JerusalemH3389. 26He seizedH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 andH853 of the royalH4428 palaceH1004. He tookH3947 everythingH3605, includingH3947 allH3605 the goldH2091 shieldsH4043 thatH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.

27Then KingH4428 RehoboamH7346 madeH6213 bronzeH5178 shieldsH4043 in their placeH8478 and committedH6485 them toH5921 the careH3027 of the captainsH8269 of the guardH7323 on dutyH8104 at the entranceH6607 to the royalH4428 palaceH1004. 28AndH1961 wheneverH1767 the kingH4428 enteredH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the guardsH7323 would bear the shieldsH5375, and later they would return themH7725 toH413 the guardroomH7323H8372.

29As for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of RehoboamH7346, along with allH3605 thatH834 he didH6213, are theyH1992 notH3808 writtenH3789 inH5921 the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
