2 Chronicles 12:13-15
New English Translation

13 King Rehoboam solidified his rule in Jerusalem;[a] he[b] was forty-one years old when he became king, and he ruled for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord chose from all the tribes of Israel to be his home.[c] Rehoboam’s[d] mother was an Ammonite named Naamah. 14 He did evil because he was not determined to follow the Lord.[e]

15 The events of Rehoboam’s reign, from start to finish, are recorded[f] in the Annals of Shemaiah the Prophet and of Iddo the Seer that include genealogical records. There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

Footnotes

  1. 2 Chronicles 12:13 tn Heb “and the king, Rehoboam, strengthened himself in Jerusalem and ruled.”
  2. 2 Chronicles 12:13 tn Heb “Rehoboam.” The recurrence of the proper name here is redundant in terms of contemporary English style, so the pronoun has been used in the translation instead.
  3. 2 Chronicles 12:13 tn Heb “the city where the Lord chose to place his name from all the tribes of Israel.”
  4. 2 Chronicles 12:13 tn Heb “his”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  5. 2 Chronicles 12:14 tn Heb “because he did not set his heart to seek the Lord.”
  6. 2 Chronicles 12:15 tn Heb “As for the events of Rehoboam, the former and the latter, are they not written?”
