* And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah . Rehoboam was forty one years old when he began to reign . And he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem , the city which Jehovah chose out of all the tribes of Israel , to put his name there . And his mother 's name was Naamah the Ammonitess . * And Judah did evil in the sight of Jehovah , and they provoked Him to jealousy above all their fathers did by their sins that they had sinned . * And they built , they also , high places for themselves , and standing pillars , and Asherahs on every high hill , and under every green tree . * And also the sodomite was in the land . They did according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah expelled before the sons of Israel . * And it happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam , Shishak the king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem . * And he took the treasures of the house of Jehovah , and the treasures of the king 's house ; yea , he took all . And he took all the golden shields that Solomon had made . * And king Rehoboam made in their place bronze shields . And he gave them into the hand of the commander of the runners , who kept the door of the king 's house . * And it happened , when the king went to the house of Jehovah , the runners bore them , and brought them back to the room of the runners . * And the rest of the acts of Rehoboam , and all that he did , are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Judah ? * And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually . * And Rehoboam lay with his fathers , and was buried with his fathers in the city of David . And his mother 's name was Naamah the Ammonitess . And his son Abijam reigned in his place .
