Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he did evil,.... Committed idolatry, relapsed into that, his humiliation not being hearty and sincere:

because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord; by prayer and supplication, and by an attendance on the service and worship of God; for though he did these things outwardly, yet not sincerely and heartily; he did not engage in them seriously and in good earnest, with affection and fervour.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He prepared not his heart ... - See the margin. Rehoboam’s sin was want of earnestness and consistency.
