1 Kings 14:24-31

24And there were also perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.

25It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

26And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house; he took away everything. He also took away all the gold shields which Solomon had made.

27Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who guarded the doorway of the king’s house.

28And whenever the king entered the house of the Lord, the guards carried them, then brought them back into the guardroom.

29Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

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

31So Rehoboam rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. Then Abijam his son reigned in his place.
