Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines, c] Who is called Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel, 2 Chronicles 13:2,

for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines led thereunto by the example of his father Solomon, contrary to the command of God, Deuteronomy 17:17

and begat twenty eight sons and sixty daughters; to have many children was reckoned a great blessing, but it was not honourable to have them in such a way.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 11:21. Eighteen wives and threescore concubines — Bad enough, but not so abandoned as his father. Of these marriages and concubinage the issue was twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters; eighty-eight children in the whole, to the education of the whole of whom he could pay but little attention. Numerous families are often neglected; and children by different women, must be yet in a worse state.
