Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite.
He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Micaiah[1] the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. Now there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
