22And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and by the sins they committed they provoked Him to jealous anger more than all their fathers had done.

23They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.

24There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.

25In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem.
