Context of 2 Chronicles 12:16
14But he did evil because he had not set his heart to seek Adonai. 15Now the acts of Rehoboam, from beginning to end, are they not written in the chronicles of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer for genealogies? There were continuous wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. Then Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David. Then his son Abijah became king in his place.
