21 Brenton And Roboam son of Solomon ruled over Juda. Roboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in the city Jerusalem, which the Lord chose to put his name there out of all the tribes of Israel: and his mother's name was Naama the Ammonitess. BSB BSB: Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
22 Brenton And Roboam did evil in the sight of the Lord; and he provoked him in all the things which their fathers did in their sins which they sinned. BSB BSB: And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and by the sins they committed they provoked Him to jealous anger more than all their fathers had done.
23 Brenton And they built for themselves high places, and pillars, and planted groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree. BSB BSB: They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
24 Brenton And there was a conspiracy in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord removed from before the children of Israel. BSB BSB: There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.

26 Brenton and took all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and the golden spears which David took out of the hand of the sons of Adrazaar king of Suba, and brought them into Jerusalem, even all that he took, and the golden shields which Solomon had made, and carried them away into Egypt. BSB BSB: He seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields that Solomon had made.
27 Brenton And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them; and the chiefs of the body guard, who kept the gate of the house of the king, were placed in charge over them.

28 Brenton And it came to pass when the king went into the house of the Lord, that the body guard took them up, and fixed them in the chamber of the body guard. BSB BSB: And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would bear the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
29 Brenton And the rest of the history of Roboam, and all that he did, behold, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

30 Brenton And there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam continually. BSB BSB: There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.
31 Brenton And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Abiu his son reigned in his stead.
