2 CHRONICLES 12:1 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.”
When the rule of Rehoboam was established and he had become strong, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him — After establishing his kingdom's stability (בִּנְחוֹם מַלְכוּת רְחַבְעָם), Rehoboam 'forsook the law of the LORD' (וַיַּעֲזֹב אֶת־תּוֹרַת יְהוָה וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל עִמּוֹ). The pattern emerges: initial faithfulness (11:17), then apostasy. The southern kingdom and its king turned from covenant observance.
