2 Chronicles 12:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ King Rehoboam ·made himself a strong king [strengthened/established himself] in Jerusalem. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he ·was king [reigned] in Jerusalem for seventeen years. Jerusalem is the city that the Lord chose from all the tribes of Israel in which ·he was to be worshiped [^Lto put his name]. Rehoboam’s mother was Naamah from the country of Ammon. ¹⁴ Rehoboam did evil because he did not ·want to obey [^Lset/commit his heart to seek] the Lord.

¹⁵ The ·things Rehoboam did as king [events/acts/history of Rehoboam], from ·the beginning to the end [first to last], ·are [^Lare they not…?] written in the ·records [annals] of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the ·seer [prophet], in the ·family histories [genealogical records]. There were continual wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
