* And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah . Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king . He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem , the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel , to put His name there . His mother 's name was Naamah , an Ammonitess . * Now Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD , and they provoked Him to jealousy with their sins which they committed , more than all that their fathers had done . * For they also built for themselves high places , sacred pillars , and wooden images on every high hill and under every green tree . * And 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 . * It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak 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 ; he took away everything . He also took away all the gold shields which Solomon had made . * Then 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 . * And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD , the guards carried them , then brought them back into the guardroom . * 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 ? * And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days . * So 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 .
