2 Chronicles 12:12-14

The Voice

¹² Because Rehoboam had humbled himself, the Eternal subdued His anger and did not destroy him. Things were good in the Southern Kingdom ¹³ when 41-year-old King Rehoboam began his strong 17-year reign in Jerusalem (the city the Eternal had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to establish His reputation).

Rehoboam’s mother was Naamah the Ammonitess. ¹⁴ During his reign, he abandoned the ways of the Eternal and did evil.
