10 Rehabeam fór til Síkem, því að allur Ísrael var kominn þangað til þess að taka hann til konungs.
2 En er Jeróbóam Nebatsson frétti (hann var í Egyptalandi, þangað sem hann hafði flúið undan Salómon konungi) að Salómon væri dáinn, sneri Jeróbóam heim frá Egyptalandi.
3 Og þeir sendu boð og létu kalla hann. Þá kom Jeróbóam og allur Ísrael og mæltu til Rehabeams á þessa leið:
4 "Faðir þinn lagði á oss hart ok, en gjör nú léttari hina hörðu ánauð föður þíns og hið þunga ok, er hann á oss lagði, og munum vér þjóna þér."
5 Hann svaraði þeim: "Farið nú burt og komið aftur til mín að þrem dögum liðnum." Og lýðurinn fór burt.
6 Þá ráðgaðist Rehabeam konungur við öldungana, sem þjónað höfðu Salómon föður hans meðan hann lifði, og mælti: "Hver andsvör ráðið þér mér að gefa þessum mönnum?"
7 Þeir svöruðu honum og mæltu: "Ef þú í dag verður lýð þessum eftirlátur, verður þeim náðugur og tekur vel máli þeirra, munu þeir verða þér eftirlátir alla daga."
8 En hann hafnaði ráði því, er öldungarnir réðu honum, en ráðgaðist við unga menn, er vaxið höfðu upp með honum og nú þjónuðu honum,
9 og hann sagði við þá: "Hver ráð gefið þér til, hversu vér skulum svara lýð þessum, er talað hefir til mín á þessa leið: ,Gjör léttara ok það, er faðir þinn á oss lagði`?"
10 Þá svöruðu honum hinir ungu menn, er vaxið höfðu upp með honum: "Svo skalt þú svara lýðnum, er sagði við þig: ,Faðir þinn gjörði ok vort þungt, en gjör þú oss það léttara` _ svo skalt þú tala til þeirra: ,Litlifingur minn er digrari en lendar föður míns.
11 Hafi faðir minn lagt á yður þungt ok, mun ég gjöra ok yðar enn þyngra. Faðir minn refsaði yður með keyrum, en ég mun refsa yður með gaddasvipum."`
12 Og Jeróbóam og allur lýðurinn kom til Rehabeams á þriðja degi, eins og konungur hafði sagt, þá er hann mælti: "Komið til mín aftur á þriðja degi."
13 Þá veitti konungur þeim hörð andsvör, og Rehabeam konungur fór eigi að ráðum öldunganna,
14 en talaði til þeirra á þessa leið að ráði hinna ungu manna: "Faðir minn gjörði ok yðar þungt, en ég mun gjöra það enn þyngra. Faðir minn refsaði yður með keyrum, en ég mun refsa yður með gaddasvipum."
15 Þannig veitti konungur lýðnum enga áheyrn, því að svo var til stillt af Guði, til þess að Drottinn gæti látið rætast orð sín, þau er hann hafði talað til Jeróbóams Nebatssonar, fyrir munn Ahía frá Síló.
16 Þá er allur Ísrael sá, að konungur veitti þeim enga áheyrn, þá veitti lýðurinn konungi þessi andsvör: Hverja hlutdeild eigum vér í Davíð? Engan erfðahlut eigum vér í Ísaísyni. Far heim til þín, hver Ísraelsmaður! Gæt þú þíns eigin húss, Davíð! Síðan fór allur Ísrael, hver heim til sín.
17 En yfir þeim Ísraelsmönnum, er bjuggu í Júdaborgum, var Rehabeam konungur.
18 Rehabeam konungur sendi Hadóram, sem var yfir kvaðarmönnum, en Ísraelsmenn lömdu hann grjóti til bana, en Rehabeam konungur hljóp í skyndi á vagn sinn og flýði til Jerúsalem.
19 Þannig gekk Ísrael undan ætt Davíðs, og stendur svo enn í dag.
11 En er Rehabeam kom til Jerúsalem, safnaði hann saman Júdamönnum og Benjamínsættkvísl, hundrað og áttatíu þúsundum einvalaliðs, til þess að berjast við Ísrael og ná konungdóminum aftur undir Rehabeam.
2 En orð Drottins kom til Semaja guðsmanns, svolátandi:
3 "Tala þú svo til Rehabeams, sonar Salómons, konungs í Júda, og til allra Ísraelsmanna í Júda og Benjamín:
4 Svo segir Drottinn: Farið eigi og berjist eigi við bræður yðar. Fari hver heim til sín, því að minni tilhlutun er þetta orðið." Og er þeir heyrðu orð Drottins, hurfu þeir aftur og hættu við að fara á móti Jeróbóam.
5 Rehabeam bjó síðan í Jerúsalem. Og hann gjörði nokkrar borgir í Júda að köstulum,
6 og hann gjörði Betlehem, Etam, Tekóa,
7 Bet Súr, Sókó, Adúllam,
8 Gat, Maresa, Síf,
9 Adóraím, Lakís, Aseka,
10 Sorea, Ajalon og Hebron, sem eru í Júda og Benjamín, að kastalaborgum.
11 Gjörði hann kastalana rammgjörva, setti þar höfðingja fyrir og lét þar forða vista, olíu og víns.
12 Og í hverja borg lét hann skjöldu og spjót, og víggirti þær afar rammlega. Og Júda og Benjamín lutu honum.
13 Prestarnir og levítarnir, er voru um allan Ísrael, komu úr öllum héruðum sínum og gengu honum til handa.
14 Því að levítarnir yfirgáfu beitilönd sín og óðul og fóru til Júda og Jerúsalem, því að Jeróbóam og synir hans höfðu rekið þá úr prestþjónustu fyrir Drottni,
15 og hafði hann sjálfur skipað sér presta fyrir fórnarhæðirnar og skógartröllin og kálfana, er hann hafði gjöra látið.
16 Og þeim fylgdu þeir af öllum ættkvíslum Ísraels, er lögðu hug á að leita Drottins, Guðs Ísraels. Komu þeir til Jerúsalem til þess að færa fórnir Drottni, Guði feðra þeirra.
17 Og þeir efldu Júdaríki og styrktu Rehabeam, son Salómons, í þrjú ár. Því að þeir fetuðu í fótspor Davíðs og Salómons í þrjú ár.
18 Og Rehabeam tók sér fyrir konu Mahalat, dóttur Jerímóts Davíðssonar og Abíhaílar, dóttur Elíabs Ísaísonar.
19 Ól hún honum sonu: Jeús, Semarja og Saham.
20 Og eftir hana fékk hann Maöku Absalonsdóttur. Hún ól honum Abía, Attaí, Sísa og Selómít.
21 Og Rehabeam unni Maöku Absalonsdóttur meira en öllum öðrum konum sínum og hjákonum, því að hann hafði tekið sér átján konur og sextíu hjákonur, og gat tuttugu og átta sonu og sextán dætur.
22 Og Rehabeam gjörði Abía, son Maöku, að ætthöfðingja, að höfðingja meðal bræðra sinna, því að hann hugðist mundu gjöra hann að konungi.
23 Og hann fór hyggilega að ráði sínu og skipti öllum sonum sínum niður á öll héruð í Júda og Benjamín, niður á allar kastalaborgir, fékk þeim gnóttir vista og bað þeim fjölda kvenna.
12 En er konungdómur Rehabeams var fastur orðinn, og hann sjálfur orðinn fastur í sessi, þá yfirgaf hann lögmál Drottins og allur Ísrael með honum.
2 Á fimmta ríkisári Rehabeams fór Sísak Egyptalandskonungur herför móti Jerúsalem _ af því að þeir höfðu sýnt Drottni ótrúmennsku _
3 með tólf hundruð vögnum og sextíu þúsund riddurum. Mátti eigi koma tölu á fólk það, er með honum kom frá Egyptalandi: Líbýumenn, Súkítar og Blálendingar.
4 Hann tók kastalaborgirnar, þær er voru í Júda, og komst allt til Jerúsalem.
5 En Semaja spámaður kom til Rehabeams og höfðingja Júda, er hörfað höfðu fyrir Sísak til Jerúsalem, og mælti til þeirra: "Svo segir Drottinn: Þér hafið yfirgefið mig, svo ofursel ég og yður á vald Sísaks."
6 Þá auðmýktu þeir sig, höfðingjar Ísraels og konungur, og sögðu: "Réttlátur er Drottinn!"
7 En er Drottinn sá, að þeir höfðu auðmýkt sig, kom orð Drottins til Semaja, svolátandi: "Þeir hafa auðmýkt sig; ég skal eigi tortíma þeim, heldur fulltingja þeim að nokkru, og eigi hella reiði minni yfir Jerúsalem fyrir Sísak.
8 Þó skulu þeir verða lýðskyldir honum, að þeir megi læra að þekkja muninn á að þjóna mér og á að þjóna heiðnum konungum."
9 Síðan fór Sísak Egyptalandskonungur herför móti Jerúsalem og tók fjársjóðu húss Drottins og fjársjóðu konungshallarinnar, tók það allt saman. Hann tók og gullskjölduna, er Salómon hafði gjöra látið.
10 Rehabeam konungur lét í þeirra stað gjöra eirskjöldu og fékk þá höfuðsmönnum lífvarðarins til geymslu, þeim er geyma dyra á höll konungs.
11 Og í hvert sinn, er konungur gekk í hús Drottins, komu varðliðsmennirnir og báru þá, og fóru síðan með þá aftur í herbergi varðliðsmannanna.
12 En er hann auðmýkti sig, hvarf reiði Drottins frá honum og tortímdi honum eigi með öllu; enn þá var þó eitthvað gott til í Júda.
13 Og Rehabeam konungur efldist í Jerúsalem og sat að völdum, því að Rehabeam hafði einn um fertugt, þá er hann varð konungur, og seytján ár ríkti hann í Jerúsalem, borginni sem Drottinn hafði útvalið af öllum ættkvíslum Ísraels til þess að láta nafn sitt búa þar. En móðir hans hét Naama og var ammónítísk.
14 Og hann breytti illa, því að hann lagði eigi hug á að leita Drottins.
15 En saga Rehabeams, frá upphafi til enda, er rituð í Sögu Semaja spámanns og Íddós sjáanda, í ættartölunum. Og ófriður stóð ávallt milli Rehabeams og Jeróbóams.
16 Og Rehabeam lagðist til hvíldar hjá feðrum sínum og var jarðaður í Davíðsborg. Og Abía sonur hans tók ríki eftir hann.

Israel Rebels Against Rehoboam(A)
10 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam(B) son of Nebat heard this (he was in Egypt, where he had fled(C) from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt. 3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel(D) went to Rehoboam and said to him: 4 “Your father put a heavy yoke on us,(E) but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
5 Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people went away.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders(F) who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How would you advise me to answer these people?” he asked.
7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them and give them a favorable answer,(G) they will always be your servants.”
8 But Rehoboam rejected(H) the advice the elders(I) gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 9 He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “The people have said to you, ‘Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter.’ Now tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. 11 My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, as the king had said, “Come back to me in three days.” 13 The king answered them harshly. Rejecting the advice of the elders, 14 he followed the advice of the young men and said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from God,(J) to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.(K)
16 When all Israel(L) saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:
“What share do we have in David,(M)
what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!
Look after your own house, David!”
So all the Israelites went home. 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah, Rehoboam still ruled over them.
18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram,[a](N) who was in charge of forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
11 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem,(O) he mustered Judah and Benjamin—a hundred and eighty thousand able young men—to go to war against Israel and to regain the kingdom for Rehoboam.
2 But this word of the Lord came to Shemaiah(P) the man of God: 3 “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, 4 ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not go up to fight against your fellow Israelites.(Q) Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.’” So they obeyed the words of the Lord and turned back from marching against Jeroboam.
Rehoboam Fortifies Judah
5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built up towns for defense in Judah: 6 Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, 7 Beth Zur, Soko, Adullam, 8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, 9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, 10 Zorah, Aijalon and Hebron. These were fortified cities(R) in Judah and Benjamin. 11 He strengthened their defenses and put commanders in them, with supplies of food, olive oil and wine. 12 He put shields and spears in all the cities, and made them very strong. So Judah and Benjamin were his.
13 The priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel sided with him. 14 The Levites(S) even abandoned their pasturelands and property(T) and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the Lord 15 when he appointed(U) his own priests(V) for the high places and for the goat(W) and calf(X) idols he had made. 16 Those from every tribe of Israel(Y) who set their hearts on seeking the Lord, the God of Israel, followed the Levites to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 17 They strengthened(Z) the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon three years, following the ways of David and Solomon during this time.
Rehoboam’s Family
18 Rehoboam married Mahalath, who was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth and of Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab. 19 She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah and Zaham. 20 Then he married Maakah(AA) daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abijah,(AB) Attai, Ziza and Shelomith. 21 Rehoboam loved Maakah daughter of Absalom more than any of his other wives and concubines. In all, he had eighteen wives(AC) and sixty concubines, twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah(AD) son of Maakah as crown prince among his brothers, in order to make him king. 23 He acted wisely, dispersing some of his sons throughout the districts of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the fortified cities. He gave them abundant provisions(AE) and took many wives for them.
Shishak Attacks Jerusalem(AF)
12 After Rehoboam’s position as king was established(AG) and he had become strong,(AH) he and all Israel[b](AI) with him abandoned(AJ) the law of the Lord. 2 Because they had been unfaithful(AK) to the Lord, Shishak(AL) king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem in the fifth year of King Rehoboam. 3 With twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen and the innumerable troops of Libyans,(AM) Sukkites and Cushites[c](AN) that came with him from Egypt, 4 he captured the fortified cities(AO) of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.
5 Then the prophet Shemaiah(AP) came to Rehoboam and to the leaders of Judah who had assembled in Jerusalem for fear of Shishak, and he said to them, “This is what the Lord says, ‘You have abandoned me; therefore, I now abandon(AQ) you to Shishak.’”
6 The leaders of Israel and the king humbled(AR) themselves and said, “The Lord is just.”(AS)
7 When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, this word of the Lord came to Shemaiah: “Since they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them but will soon give them deliverance.(AT) My wrath(AU) will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak. 8 They will, however, become subject(AV) to him, so that they may learn the difference between serving me and serving the kings of other lands.”
9 When Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem, he carried off the treasures of the temple of the Lord and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including the gold shields(AW) Solomon had made. 10 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned these to the commanders of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace. 11 Whenever the king went to the Lord’s temple, the guards went with him, bearing the shields, and afterward they returned them to the guardroom.
12 Because Rehoboam humbled(AX) himself, the Lord’s anger turned from him, and he was not totally destroyed. Indeed, there was some good(AY) in Judah.
13 King Rehoboam established(AZ) himself firmly in Jerusalem and continued as king. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name.(BA) His mother’s name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite. 14 He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the Lord.
15 As for the events of Rehoboam’s reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah(BB) the prophet and of Iddo the seer that deal with genealogies? There was continual warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. 16 Rehoboam(BC) rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Abijah(BD) his son succeeded him as king.

10 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.
6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
8 But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
9 And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?
10 And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
11 For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the Lord might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
11 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
12 And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the Lord:
15 And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord God of their fathers.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
18 And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19 Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
12 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
2 And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the Lord,
3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.
4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The Lord is righteous.
7 And when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.
11 And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.
12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
