The Death of Rehoboam

13 So King Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned there. Now, Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city where Yahweh had chosen to put his name out of all the tribes of Israel. And the name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite. 14 And he did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek Yahweh.

15 Now the words of Rehoboam from the first to the last, are they not written in the chronicles[fn] of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer as a record? Andthere were battles between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their[fn] days. 16 And Rehoboam slept with his ancestors,[fn] and he was buried in the city of David, and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
