1 Kings 14:24-31
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.
30Rehoboam and Jeroboam were continually at war with each other.
31Rehoboam passed away and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. His mother was an Ammonite named Naamah. His son Abijah replaced him as king.
