12:15 The events of Rehoboam’s reign, from start to finish, are recorded 1 in the Annals of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer that include genealogical records. 12:16 Then Rehoboam passed away 2 and was buried in the City of David. 3 His son Abijah replaced him as king.
1 tn Heb “As for the events of Rehoboam, the former and the latter, are they not written?”
2 tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”
3 sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
