1 Kings 14:25-31

« 1 Kings 131 Kings 141 Kings 15 »

25 ^aNow it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem. 26 And he took the treasures of the house of Yahweh and the treasures of the king’s house. And ^ahe took everything; he ^beven took all the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 27 Then King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and ^acommitted them into the hand of the commanders of the ¹guard who kept the door of the king’s house. 28 Now it happened as often as the king entered the house of Yahweh, that the ¹guards would carry them and would bring them back into the ¹guards’ room.

The Death of Rehoboam

29 ^aNow 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? 30 ^aNow there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. 31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and ^ahis mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son became king in his place.
