2 Chronicles 12:13-16

New American Standard Bible

¹³^(A)So King Rehoboam became powerful in Jerusalem and reigned there. For Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. ¹⁴But he did evil ^(B)because he did not set his heart to seek the Lord.

¹⁵^(C)Now the acts of Rehoboam, from the first to the last, are they not written in the ^[a]records of ^(D)Shemaiah the prophet and of ^(E)Iddo the seer, according to genealogical enrollment? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. ¹⁶And Rehoboam ^[b]lay down with his fathers and was buried in the city of David; and his son ^(F)Abijah became king in his place.

The End of Rehoboam’s Reign^(A)

¹³Thus 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. ¹⁴And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.

¹⁵The acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, ^(E)and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? ^(F)And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. ¹⁶So Rehoboam ^[a]rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David. Then ^(G)Abijah^[b] his son reigned in his place.
