Rehoboam’s Last Days

¹³ King Rehoboam^(A) established his royal power in Jerusalem. Rehoboam was 41 years old when he became king and reigned 17 years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to put His name.^(B) Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. ¹⁴ Rehoboam did what was evil, because he did not determine in his heart to seek the Lord.^(C)

¹⁵ The events^(D) of Rehoboam’s reign, from beginning to end, are written in the Events of Shemaiah^(E) the Prophet and of Iddo the Seer concerning genealogies.^(F) There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their reigns.
