15 The events of Rehoboam’s reign, from start to finish, are recorded[b] in the Annals of Shemaiah the Prophet and of Iddo the Seer that include genealogical records. There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 16 Then Rehoboam passed away[c] and was buried in the City of David.[d] His son Abijah replaced him as king.
