This was a tempting target for the king of Egypt who attacked and overranBest Salaams,
the truncated Kingdom of Judah. To prevent a siege of Jerusalem, Rehoboam
agreed to let the Egyptians loot Jerusalem and leave without a fight. This
Egyptian victory was commemorated on a temple wall at Karnak. The wall
carving shows Egyptian soldiers carrying away the Ark of the Covenant.
