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.
King Rehoboam became strong in Jerusalem and ruled. He began ruling at age 41 and reigned for 17 years. Jerusalem, chosen by God among all Israel's tribes, was where he ruled. His mother's name was Naamah, from Ammon.
