1 Kings 14

1And Roboam son of Solomon ruled over Juda. Roboam was forty and one years old when he beganto reign, and he reigned seventeen years in the city Jerusalem, which the Lord chose to put his name thereout of all the tribes of Israel: and his mother's namewas Naama the Ammonitess. 22And Roboam did evil in the sight of the Lord; and he provoked him in all the things whichtheir fathers did in their sins which they sinned. 23And they built for themselves high places, and pillars, andplanted groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree. 24And there was a conspiracy in the land, and they did according to all the abominationsof the nations which the Lord removed from before the children of Israel. 25And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Susakim king of Egypt cameup against Jerusalem; 26and took all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king'shouse, and the golden spears which David took out of the hand of the sons of Adrazaar king of Suba, andbrought them into Jerusalem, even all that he took,and the golden shields which Solomon had made,and carried them away into Egypt. 27And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them; and the chiefs of the body guard,who kept the gate of the house of the king, were placed in charge over them. 28And it came to pass when the king went into the house of the Lord, that the body guardtook them up, and fixed them in the chamber of the body guard. 29And the rest of the history of Roboam, and all that he did, behold, are they not writtenin the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? 30And there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam continually. 31And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David:and Abiu his son reigned in his stead.
