10 King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them into the care of the captains of the royal escorts[a] who guarded the entrance to the king's palace.
11 Whenever the king entered the Lord's temple, the royal escorts would carry the shields and take them back to the royal escorts' armory.[b]
12 When Rehoboam humbled himself, the Lord's anger turned away from him, and He did not destroy [him] completely. Besides that, conditions were good in Judah.

Rehoboam's Last Days

13 King Rehoboam established his royal power in Jerusalem. Rehoboam was 41 years old when he became king; he reigned 17 years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to put His name.[c] Rehoboam's mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite.
14 Rehoboam did what was evil, because he did not determine in his heart to seek the Lord.[d]
15 The events of Rehoboam's [reign], from beginning to end, are written about in the Events of Shemaiah the Prophet and of Iddo the Seer concerning genealogies.[e] There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their reigns.
16 Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David. His son Abijah[f] became king in his place.[g]
