2 Chronicles 12 — Context

13

So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there.

And he did evil because his heart was not true to the Lord.

Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not recorded in the words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

16

And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David; and Abijah his son became king in his place.
