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. 14 But 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. 16 And 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.

Death of Rehoboam
13 So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign; he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.(A) 14 He did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek the Lord.(B)
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the records of the prophet Shemaiah and of the seer Iddo, recorded by genealogy? There were continual wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.(C) 16 Rehoboam slept with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David, and his son Abijah succeeded him.(D)
