10 And in their place King Rehoboam made shields of brass and committed them to the hands of the princes of the guard that kept the entrance of the king’s house.
11 And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the guard came and brought them, and afterward they returned them again into the guard chamber.
12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in Judah things went well.
13 So King Rehoboam was strengthened and reigned in Jerusalem; and Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.
14 And he did evil because he did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah, the prophet, and of Iddo, the seer concerning genealogies? And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David, and Abijah, his son, reigned in his stead.
