1 Kings 14:21-23

Modern English Version

Rehoboam, King of Judah^(A)

²¹ Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one 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.

²² Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the people provoked Him to jealousy with the sins they committed, even worse than their fathers had done. ²³ For they also built high places and images and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
