Contextual Overview

²¹ And Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, was king in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman. 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. ²⁹ Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? ³⁰ And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. For though Rehoboam did not enter into an offensive war, and attack the children of Israel, being dissuaded from it by Shemaiah the prophet in the name of the Lord, yet he might maintain a defensive war; and though there were no pitched battles between them as afterwards, in his son's time, yet there might be skirmishes and bickerings on the borders of their countries.
