2-3. Jeroboam told his wife:Disguise yourself so no one will know you're my wife, then go to Shiloh, where the prophet Ahijah lives. Take him ten loaves of bread, some small cakes, and honey, and ask him what will happen to our son. He can tell you, because he's the one who told me I would become king.
18. Everyone in Israel came and mourned at his funeral, just as the Lord's servant Ahijah had said.
19. Everything else Jeroboam did while he was king, including the battles he won, is written in The History of the Kings of Israel.
20. He was king of Israel for twenty-two years, then he died, and his son Nadab became king.
21. Rehoboam son of Solomon was forty-one years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled seventeen years from Jerusalem, the city where the Lord had chosen to be worshipped. His mother Naamah was from Ammon.
22. The people of Judah disobeyed the Lord and made him even angrier than their ancestors had.
23. They also built their own local shrines and stone images of foreign gods, and they set up sacred poles for worshipping the goddess Asherah on every hill and in the shade of large trees.
24. Even worse, they allowed prostitutes at the shrines, and followed the disgusting customs of the foreign nations that the Lord had forced out of Canaan.
25. After Rehoboam had been king for four years, King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem.
26. He took everything of value from the temple and the palace, including Solomon's gold shields.
