And the rest of the acts of Jerobo´am, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.
And Rehobo´am the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehobo´am was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Na´amah an Ammonitess.
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michai´ah the daughter of U´ri-el of Gib´e-ah. And there was war between Abi´jah and Jerobo´am.
