2 Chronicles 12:11

Compare all

9 ^aSo Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house; he took everything. He also carried away the gold shields which Solomon had ^bmade.

10 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and committed them ^ato the hands of the captains of the guard, who guarded the doorway of the king’s house.

11 And whenever the king entered the house of the Lord, the guard would go and bring them out; then they would take them back into the guardroom.

12 When he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and things also went well in Judah.

The End of Rehoboam’s Reign

13 Thus King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now ^aRehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king; and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, ^bthe city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother’s name was Naamah, an ^cAmmonitess.

14 And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.
