Melachim Alef 14:25 In-Context

23 For they also built them [idolatrous] high places, and matzevot (idol images), and Asherim [Canaanite female nature idols] on every high hill, and under every thickly foliaged green tree.

24 And there were also kadesh (male and female cult prostitutes) in the land; and they did according to all the to’avot (abominations) of the Goyim which Hashem drove out before the Bnei Yisroel.

25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Melech Rechav‘am, that Shishak Melech Mitzrayim came up against Yerushalayim;

26 And he carried away the otzarot of the Beis Hashem, and the otzarot of the Bais HaMelech; he even carried away everything: and he carried away all the moginnim (shields) of zahav which Sh’lomo had made.

27 And Melech Rechav‘am made in their place moginnim of nechoshet, and committed them unto the hands of the commanders of the guard, which were the shomrim at the petach of the Bais HaMelech.
