2 CHRONICLES 12:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess.”
And he did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek the LORD — The summary judgment: Rehoboam 'did evil' (וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע) because he failed to 'set his heart to seek the LORD' (כִּי־לֹא־הֵכִין אֶת־לְבָבוֹ לִדְרֹשׁ אֶת־יְהוָה). The pattern: devotion leads to blessing; apostasy leads to punishment.
