1 Kings 14:25
Compare all
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.

I & II Kings

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS, in the ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible, constitute one book. Various titles have been given them; in the Septuagint and the Vulgate they are called the Third and Fourth Books of Kings. The authorship of these books is unknown; but the prevailing opinion is that they were compiled by Ezra, or one of the later prophets, from the ancient documents that are so frequently referred to in the course of the history as of public and established authority. Their inspired character was acknowledged by the Jewish Church, which ranked them in the sacred canon; and, besides, it is attested by our Lord, who frequently quotes from them (compare I Kings 17:9; II Kings 5:14 with Luke 4:24-27; I Kings 10:1 with Matthew 12:42).
