* And Rehobo ’am the son of Solomon reigned in Judah . Rehobo ’am was forty and one years old when he became king , and seventeen years did he reign in Jerusalem , the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel , to put his name there . And his mother ’s name was Na ’amah the ‘Ammonitess . * And Judah did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord , and they moved him to wrath more than all that their fathers had done , with their sins which they committed . * And they also built themselves high –places , and standing images , and groves , on every high hill , and under every green tree . * And sodomites also were in the land : they acted in accordance with all the abominable deeds of the nations which the Lord had driven out before the children of Israel . * And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehobo ’am , that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem : * And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord , and the treasures of the king ’s house ; yea , every thing did he take away ; and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made . * And king Rehobo ’am made in their stead shields of copper , and committed them for keeping into the hand of the chiefs of the runners , who kept guard at the door of the king ’s house . * And it happened whenever the king went into the house of the Lord , that the runners used to bear them , and carried them then back into the apartment of the runners . * And the rest of the acts of Rehobo ’am , and all that he did , behold , they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah . * And there was war between Rehobo ’am and Jerobo ’am all the days . * And Rehobo ’am slept with his fathers , and was buried with his fathers in the city of David . And his mother ’s name was Na ’amah the ‘Ammonitess . And Abiyam his son became king in his stead .
