Rehavam (Rehoboam) rules in Yehudah

14:21 Rehavam (Rehoboam) rules in Yehudah

Southern kingdom

(2 Chr. 11:5–12:15)

21Meanwhile, Shelomoh’s son Rehavam reigned in Yehudah. He was forty-one when he started reigning, and he reigned for seventeen years from Yerushalem—the city that Yahweh had chosen to associate his name with out of all the tribes of Yisrael. Rehavam’s mother was Naamah the Ammonite.

22The people of Yehudah did what Yahweh had decided was evilin fact they made him more jealous (by worshipping other gods) than their ancestors ever had. 23They even built hilltop temples and sacred pillars and poles on every high hill and under every large evergreen tree.[ref] 24There were also male prostitutes associated with them, and the Israelis did the same abhorrent things as the nations that Yahweh had removed ahead of their entering the land.[ref]

25In the fifth year of King Rehavam’s reign, Egypt’s King Shishak attacked Yerushalem[ref] 26and took away the valuables from Yahweh’s temple, and the king’s palace. He took everything of value, including all the gold shields that Shelomoh had made.[ref] 27To replace them, King Rehavam made some bronze shields and assigned them to the officers who protect the entrance to the palace. 28Whenever the king would enter the temple, the guards would quickly take the shields there, and when he left, they’d run them back to the palace.

29Everything else that Rehavam did is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yehudah. 30Rehavam and Yarave’am were in a continual state of war during their reigns. 31Then Rehavam (his mother was Naamah the Ammonite) died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David, and his son Abiyyam replaced him as king.
