1 Kings 14:19-29

19The rest of the events of Jeroboam’s reign, including the details of his battles and rule, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Israel.

20Jeroboam ruled for twenty-two years; then he passed away. His son Nadab replaced him as king.

21Now Rehoboam son of Solomon ruled in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king and he ruled for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord chose from all the tribes of Israel to be his home. His mother was an Ammonite woman named Naamah.

22Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord. They made him more jealous by their sins than their ancestors had done.

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

24There were also male cultic prostitutes in the land. They committed the same horrible sins as the nations that the Lord had driven out from before the Israelites.

25In King Rehoboam’s fifth year, King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem.

26He took away the treasures of the Lord’s temple and of the royal palace; he took everything, including all the golden shields that Solomon had made.

27King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned them to the officers of the royal guard who protected the entrance to the royal palace.

28Whenever the king visited the Lord’s temple, the royal guard carried them and then brought them back to the guardroom.

29The rest of the events of Rehoboam’s reign, including his accomplishments, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Judah.
