12 So when Rehoboam[a] humbled himself, the Lord relented from his anger and did not annihilate him;[b] Judah experienced some good things.[c] 13 King Rehoboam solidified his rule in Jerusalem;[d] he[e] 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.[f] Rehoboam’s[g] mother was an Ammonite named Naamah. 14 He did evil because he was not determined to follow the Lord.[h]

  3. 2 Chronicles 12:12 tn Heb “and also in Judah there were good things.”
  4. 2 Chronicles 12:13 tn Heb “and the king, Rehoboam, strengthened himself in Jerusalem and ruled.”
  5. 2 Chronicles 12:13 tn Heb “Rehoboam.” The recurrence of the proper name here is redundant in terms of contemporary English style, so the pronoun has been used in the translation instead.

  7. 2 Chronicles 12:13 tn Heb “his”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 Chronicles 12:12-14
Darby Translation

12 And when he humbled himself, the anger of Jehovah turned away from him, that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in Judah there were good things.

13 And king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

14 And he did evil, for he applied not his heart to seek Jehovah.
