In the book of 2 Chronicles, starting at chapter 11, the people of Judah rose up to take Israel back from Rehoboam. But the Lord commanded them not to fight against their own people.
They obeyed.
Rehoboam remained in Jerusalem and fortified the cities. He had many wives and many children.
Starting in chapter 12, Rehoboam had long since abandoned God and His Laws. He was only in power for five years before Egypt came up and invaded Judah. Rehoboam then humbled himself and said that the Lord was right in doing what He is doing. God saw his change of heart and He said He would not completely destroy the Israelites.
So they became slaves and all of Rehoboam's treasures were taken by the Egyptians.
