Contextual Overview

21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty one years old when he began to reign. And he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. 22 And Judah did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and they provoked Him to jealousy above all their fathers did by their sins that they had sinned. 23 And they built, they also, high places for themselves, and standing pillars, and Asherahs on every high hill, and under every green tree. 24 And also the sodomite was in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed before the sons of Israel. 25 And it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak the king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem. 26 And he took the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; yea, he took all. And he took all the golden shields that Solomon had made. 27 And King Rehoboam made in their place bronze shields. And he gave them into the hand of the commander of the runners, who kept the door of the king's house. 28 And it happened, when the king went to the house of Jehovah, the runners bore them, and brought them back to the room of the runners. 29 And the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Judah? 30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

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.
