# Rehoboam

Source: https://enocharchive.com/characters/rehoboam (Enoch Archive).

Rehoboam was the son of Solomon and reigned after him. The Cave of Treasures records that he was forty-one years old when he began to reign. He polluted Jerusalem with fornication, the altars of devils, and the stink of heathendom, and the kingdom of Israel was rent in twain. In the fifth year of his kingdom Shishak the king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem. Rehoboam died in the heathen practices of his father Solomon.

The Kebra Nagast refers to Rehoboam as a young son of Solomon. Solomon declares that Rehoboam shall reign over Israel and that the seed of Solomon shall become three heads of kingdoms upon the earth.
