Conclusion of Rehoboam’s Reign
2 Chronicles 12:13-16
13
So King Rechav'am consolidated his rule in Yerushalayim. Rechav'am was forty-one years old when he began his reign; and he ruled seventeen years in Yerushalayim, the city ADONAI had chosen from all the tribes of Isra'el to bear his name; his mother's name was Na'amah the 'Amonit.
14
He did what was evil, because he had not set his heart on seeking ADONAI.
15
The activities of Rechav'am from beginning to end are written in the genealogically organized histories of Sh'ma'yah the prophet and 'Iddo the seer. But there were continual wars between Rechav'am and Yarov'am.
16
Rechav'am slept with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. Then Aviyah his son became king in his place.
