"Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place."
— 2 Chronicles 12:16 (World English Bible)
Surrounding context
So 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 which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
