Contextual Overview

13 So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned, - because, forty-one years old, was Rehoboam when he began to reign, and, seventeen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen, to set his Name there - from among all the tribes of Israel, and, the name of his mother, was Naamah, the Ammonitess. 14 But he did evil, - in that he did not fix his heart to seek Yahweh. 15 Now, the story of Rehoboam, first and last, is it not written in the story of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer, for enrolling,-also the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam, all the days? 16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David, - and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
