Context of 2 Chronicles 12:15

13King Rehoboam solidified his rule in Jerusalem; he was forty-one years old when he became king and he ruled for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord chose from all the tribes of Israel to be his home. Rehoboam’s mother was an Ammonite named Naamah. 14He did evil because he was not determined to follow the Lord. The events of Rehoboam’s reign, from start to finish, are recorded in the Annals of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer that include genealogical records. 16Then Rehoboam passed away and was buried in the City of David. His son Abijah replaced him as king.
