nasb @1Kings:14:21 @Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah . Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king , and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem , the city which the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to put His name there . And his mother 's name was Naamah the Ammonitess . nasb @1Kings:14:22 @Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD , and they provoked Him to jealousy more than all that their fathers had done , with the sins which they committed . nasb @1Kings:14:23 @For they also built for themselves high places and sacred pillars and Asherim on every high hill and beneath every luxuriant tree . nasb @1Kings:14:24 @There were also male cult prostitutes in the land . They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD dispossessed before the sons of Israel . nasb @1Kings:14:25 @Now it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam , that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem . nasb @1Kings:14:26 @He took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king 's house , and he took everything , even taking all the shields of gold which Solomon had made . nasb @1Kings:14:27 @So King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place , and committed them to the care of the commanders of the guard who guarded the doorway of the king 's house . nasb @1Kings:14:28 @Then it happened as often as the king entered the house of the LORD , that the guards would carry them and would bring them back into the guards ' room . nasb @1Kings:14:29 @Now 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 ? nasb @1Kings:14:30 @There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually . nasb @1Kings:14:31 @And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David ; and his mother 's name was Naamah the Ammonitess . And Abijam his son became king in his place .
