Rehoboam Reigns in Judah^(A)

²¹ And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. ^(B)Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king. He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city ^(C)which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. ^(D)His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

The End of Rehoboam’s Reign^(A)

¹³ Thus King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now ^(B)Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king; and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, ^(C)the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother’s name was Naamah, an ^(D)Ammonitess.

³⁶ And to his son I will give one tribe, that ^(A)My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there.

^31 (A)So Rehoboam ^[a]rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. ^(B)His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. Then ^(C)Abijam^[b] his son reigned in his place.

⁷ Then ^(A)worthless rogues gathered to him, and strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was ^(B)young and inexperienced and could not withstand them.
