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.
27 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and1 committed them to the hands of the captains of the2 guard, who guarded the doorway of the king’s house.
28 And whenever the king entered the house of the Lord, the guards carried them, then brought them back into the guardroom.
