On Rehoboam: Text and Manuscripts

Go to the Kings of Judah and Israel, Part 1 group, the Visual edition.

Iste roboam , spreto seniorum consilio pro adolescentum temeritate sua, conturbans populum, duas tribus cum leuitica retinuit et dictum est regnum illud juda ; qui, peccatis suis exigentibus, impetum susac regis egypti infestantis eum sustinuit, qui pro scutis aureis sublatis scuta erea substituit.

This Rehoboam, despising the advice of his elders in favour of youthful recklessness, disturbed the people. He retained the support of two tribes and the Levites, and that kingdom was called Judah. His sins being weighed, he withstood the force of Shishak, king of Egypt, who attacked him. He substituted bronze shields for the gold shields that were carried off.
