26 He took away all the treasures in the Temple and in the palace, including the gold shields Solomon had made.
27 To replace them, King Rehoboam made bronze shields and entrusted them to the officers responsible for guarding the palace gates.
28 Every time the king went to the Temple, the guards carried the shields, and then returned them to the guardroom.
29 Everything else that King Rehoboam did is recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah.
30 During all this time Rehoboam and Jeroboam were constantly at war with each other.
31 Rehoboam died and was buried in the royal tombs in David's City, and his son Abijah succeeded him as king.
