1 Kings 14:23 In-Context

21 Rehoboam, Solomon's son, ruled over Judah. Rehoboam was 41 years old when he became king. He ruled for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD chose from among all the tribes of Israel to set his name. Rehoboam's mother's name was Naamah from Ammon.
22 Judah did evil in the LORD's eyes. The sins they committed made the LORD angrier than anything their ancestors had done.
23 They also built shrines, standing stones, and sacred poles on top of every high hill and under every green tree.
24 Moreover, the consecrated workers in the land did detestable things, just like those nations that the LORD had removed among the Israelites.
25 During King Rehoboam's fifth year, King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem.
