14:011:015 And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the
           devils, and for the calves which he had made.

14:011:016 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set
           their hearts to seek the lord God of Israel came to Jerusalem,
           to sacrifice unto the lord God of their fathers.

14:011:017 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam
           the son of Solomon strong, three years:  for three years they
           walked in the way of David and Solomon.

14:011:018 And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the
           son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the
           son of Jesse;

14:011:019 Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.

14:011:020 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which
           bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

14:011:021 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all
           his wives and his concubines:  (for he took eighteen wives, and
           threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and
           threescore daughters.)

14:011:022 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be
           ruler among his brethren:  for he thought to make him king.

14:011:023 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children
           throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every
           fenced city:  and he gave them victual in abundance.  And he
           desired many wives.

14:012:001 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the
           kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of
           the lord, and all Israel with him.

14:012:002 And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam
           Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they
           had transgressed against the lord,

14:012:003 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand
           horsemen:  and the people were without number that came with
           him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the
           Ethiopians.

14:012:004 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and
           came to Jerusalem.

14:012:005 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes
           of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of
           Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the lord, Ye have
           forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of
           Shishak.

14:012:006 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled
           themselves; and they said, The lord is righteous.
