Contextual Overview

This was the city the Lord had chosen from all the families of Israel to put His name there. The name of Rehoboam's mother was Naamah the Ammonitess. 14 And he did what was sinful, because he did not follow the Lord with all his heart. 15 The acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are written in the writings of Shemaiah the man of God and of Iddo the man who told what would happen in the future. Wars were always being fought between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. 16 Rehoboam died and was buried in the city of David. His son Abijah became king in his place.
