Ammonitess.
22
And Judah did evil in the sight of the L
ORD
, and they provoked him to jealousy
with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
23
For they also
built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.

and
they did according to all the abominations of the
nations which the L
ORD
cast out before the children of Israel.

that
Shishak king of Egypt came up
against Jerusalem:
26

ORD
, and the treasures
of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon
had made.
27
And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed
them
unto the
hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king’s house.
28
And it was
so,
when
the king went into the house of the L
ORD
, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the
guard chamber.

Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did,

days.

CHAPTER KINGS 15

was
Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
3
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not

ORD
his God, as the heart of David his father.

the L
ORD
his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish

right in the eyes of the L
ORD

Hittite.

that which was
right in the eyes of the L
ORD
, as
did
David his father.

away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13
And
also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from
being
queen, because she had made an idol
