1 Kings 14:25-26
14:25 In King Rehoboam’s fifth year, King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem.
14:26 He took away the treasures of the Lord’s temple and of the royal palace; he took everything, including all the golden shields that Solomon had made.
1 Kings 14:2
14:2 Jeroboam told his wife, “Disguise
yourself so that people cannot recognize you are Jeroboam’s wife. Then go to Shiloh; Ahijah the prophet, who told me I would rule over this nation, lives there.
1 Kings 12:2-9
12:2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard the news, he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon and had been living ever since.
12:3 They sent for him,
and Jeroboam and the whole Israelite assembly came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
12:4 “Your father made us work too hard.
Now if you lighten the demands he made and don’t make us work as hard, we will serve you.”
12:5 He said to them, “Go away for three days, then return to me.” So the people went away.
12:6 King Rehoboam consulted with the older advisers who had served his father Solomon when he had been alive. He asked them, “How do you advise me to answer these people?”
12:7 They said to him, “Today if you show a willingness to help these people and grant their request, they will be your servants from this time forward.”
12:8 But Rehoboam rejected their advice and consulted the young advisers who served him, with whom he had grown up.
12:9 He asked them, “How do you advise me to respond to these people who said to me, ‘Lessen the demands your father placed on us’?”
