Rehoboam Reigns in Judah

(2 Chronicles 12:13–14)

Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. [He] was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.

22 

And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and by the sins they committed they provoked Him to jealous anger more than all their fathers had done. 23 They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree. 24 There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites
