Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;

26

And took away all the stored wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the king's house, and all the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

27

So in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass, and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.

28

And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.

29

Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

30

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

31

And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman. And Abijam his son became king in his place.
