2 Chronicles 12:13-16
Christian Standard Bible
Rehoboam’s Last Days
13 King Rehoboam(A) established his royal power in Jerusalem. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen 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 the Prophet Shemaiah(E) and of the Seer Iddo concerning genealogies.(F) There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their reigns. 16 Rehoboam rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David. His son Abijah[a](G) became king in his place.
