Honor the name of the Lord is a blessing of a kingdom

1 King 14:21-31
Rehoboam was king in Judah. His mother was an Ammonite.
Judah did evil in the eyes of the Lord. The people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
I the fifth of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem. He carried off the treasures of the temple of the Lord and the treasures of the royal palace He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made.
There was continual warfare between Rehoboam an Jeroboam.
Why?
For father did an evil thing, so as son, Rehoboam followed his father and Solomon married Ammonite, his mother taught son do the same evil things. The spiritual environment was worse.
The gold shield is an symbol of rich of Solomon, for their sins, the Lord let king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and carried off all the treasures of the temple of the Lord.
The Lord even allowed his temple be attacked by Egyptian for the sin of Judah.
The temple is an symbol of the Lord, but the requirement is the people should be walked on the way of the Lord.
The weaken state loses the Temple treasures to the invading Egyptian pharaoh, and north and south are constantly at war.
How?
When the situation of spirit is weaken, then many attacks or disasters are coming for the blessing of the Lord is away from evil doing man.
When a kingdom is weakening, his righteous people will feel frustrated on the right thing, who don't like to pay more effort on the right things for no one will appreciate their efforts. It is same to a church.
