1 Kings 14:21-23

Evangelical Heritage Version

Rehoboam’s Reign

²¹ Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon was king in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he ruled for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to put his Name there. The name of Rehoboam’s mother was Na’amah the Ammonite.

²² Judah did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and they provoked him to anger more than all their fathers had done with the sins that they committed. ²³ They built for themselves high places, sacred memorial stones, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every leafy tree.
