26 He took the treasures from the Temple of the Lord and the king’s palace. He took everything, even the gold shields Solomon had made.
27 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to put in their place. He gave them to the men who were guarding the palace gates.
28 Whenever the king went to the Temple of the Lord, the guards carried the shields. After they were finished, they put the shields back in the guardroom.
29 Everything else King Rehoboam did is written down. It is in the book of the history of the kings of Judah.
30 Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always fighting a war with each other.
31 Rehoboam died and was buried with his ancestors in Jerusalem. His mother was Naamah from Ammon. And Rehoboam’s son Abijam became king in his place.
