22Judah did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
23For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;
24and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahweh drove out before the children of Israel.
25It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
26and he took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, 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.
27King Rehoboam made in their place shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king`s house.
28It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of Yahweh, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.
