1 Kings 14:24-31 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

24. There were also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord drove out before the children of Israel.

25. In the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem,

26. and he took away the treasures of the Lord’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house. He even took away all of it, including all the gold shields which Solomon had made.

27. King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.

28. It was so, that as often as the king went into the Lord’s house, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.

29. Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

30. There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

31. Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.
