22 And Judah did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and made him more angry than their fathers had done by their sins.
23 For they made high places and upright stones and wood pillars on every high hill and under every green tree;
24 And more than this, there were those in the land who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, doing the same disgusting crimes as the nations which the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.
25 Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;
26 And took away all the stored wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the king's house, and all the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.
27 So in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass, and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.
28 And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.
