Contextual Overview

²¹ Rehoboam son of Solomon was forty-one years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled seventeen years from Jerusalem, the city where the Lord had chosen to be worshiped. His mother Naamah was from Ammon. ²² The people of Judah disobeyed the Lord and made him even angrier than their ancestors had. ²³ They also built their own local shrines and stone images of foreign gods, and they set up sacred poles for worshiping the goddess Asherah on every hill and in the shade of large trees. ²⁴ Even worse, they allowed prostitutes at the shrines, and followed the disgusting customs of the foreign nations that the Lord had forced out of Canaan. ²⁵ After Rehoboam had been king for four years, King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem. ²⁶ He took everything of value from the temple and the palace, including Solomon's gold shields. ²⁷ Rehoboam had bronze shields made to replace the gold ones, and he ordered the guards at the city gates to keep them safe. ²⁸ Whenever Rehoboam went to the Lord 's temple, the guards carried the shields. But they always took them back to the guardroom as soon as he was finished. ²⁹ Everything else Rehoboam did while he was king is written in The History of the Kings of Judah. ³⁰ He and Jeroboam were constantly at war.

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.
