11 And whenever the king entered the house of the Lord, the guard would go and bring them out; then they would take them back into the guardroom.
12 When he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and things also went well in Judah.
The End of Rehoboam’s Reign
13 Thus King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now aRehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king; and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, bthe city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother’s name was Naamah, an cAmmonitess.
14 And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.
15 The acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, aand of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? bAnd there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
16 So Rehoboam rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David. Then aAbijah his son reigned in his place.
