2 Chronicles 12:13-16
New King James Version
The End of Rehoboam’s Reign(A)
13 Thus 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. 14 And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.
15 The 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. 16 So Rehoboam [a]rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David. Then (G)Abijah[b] his son reigned in his place.

2 Chronicles 12:13-16
American Standard Version
13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. 14 And he did that which was evil, because he set not his heart to seek Jehovah.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the [a]histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, [b]after the manner of 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.
