1 Kings 14:21-23

New Life Version

Rehoboam Rules Judah

²¹ Now Solomon’s son Rehoboam ruled in Judah. Rehoboam 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 families of Israel to put His name there. The name of Rehoboam’s mother was Naamah of Ammon. ²² Judah did what was sinful in the eyes of the Lord. They made Him jealous with their sins, more than all their fathers had done. ²³ For they built for themselves high places, holy objects and false gods on every high hill and under every green tree.
