Rehoboam Reigns in Judah

21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. aRehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king. He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city bwhich the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. cHis mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.  
22 aNow Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they bprovoked Him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, more than all that their fathers had done.  
23 For they also built for themselves ahigh places, bsacred pillars, and cwooden images on every high hill and dunder every green tree.  
24 aAnd there were also1 perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the babominations of the nations which the Lord had cast out before the children of cIsrael.  
25 aIt happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.  
26 aAnd 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 bwhich Solomon had made.

1 Kings 14:22

In the sight of the Lord - In contempt and defiance of him, and the tokens of his special presence. Jealousy - As the adulterous wife provokes her husband, by breaking the marriage covenant.
