Rehoboam Reigns in Judah^(A)

²¹ And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. ^(B)Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king. He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city ^(C)which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. ^(D)His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

^22 (A)Now Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they ^(B)provoked Him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, more than all that their fathers had done.

^29 (A)Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? ³⁰ And there was ^(B)war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. ^31 (C)So Rehoboam ^[a]rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. ^(D)His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. Then ^(E)Abijam^[b] his son reigned in his place.
