How was the reign of king Rehoboam?

Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him but consulted the young men and brought hardship to Israelites.
When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they all went home.
God prohibited Rehoboam to fight against Jeroboam.
The priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel sided with Rehoboam.
Rehoboam had wives and children.
After Rehoboam’s position as king was established and he had become strong, he and all Israel with him abandoned the law of the Lord.
Because they had been unfaithful to the Lord, Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem in the fifth year of King Rehoboam.
Shishak carried off the treasures of the temple of the Lord and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including the gold shields Solomon had made.
