2 Chronicles 12:13-16

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Closing Summary of Rehoboam’s Reign

¹³ King Rehoboam strengthened his position in Jerusalem and ruled as king. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and for seventeen years he ruled as king in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord had chosen from among all the tribes of Israel to put his Name there. Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Na’amah the Ammonite.

¹⁴ He did evil, because he did not set his heart to seek the Lord.

¹⁵ The acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the annals of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer, which deal with genealogy? Rehoboam and Jeroboam waged war with each other throughout all their days.

¹⁶ Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. His son Abijah ruled as king in his place.
