The expression "rested with his fathers" is a common biblical euphemism for death, suggesting a peaceful passing and a joining with ancestors. It reflects the belief in an afterlife where the deceased are gathered to their people, as seen in <a href="/genesis/25-8.htm">Genesis 25:8</a> with Abraham.and was buried with them in the City of David; The City of David refers to Jerusalem, specifically the ancient part of the city that David captured from the Jebusites and established as his capital (<a href="/2_samuel/5-7.htm">2 Samuel 5:7</a>). Being buried in the City of David was an honor, signifying Rehoboam's royal status and lineage. This burial place underscores the continuity of the Davidic dynasty, which holds significant messianic implications as prophesied in <a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-16</a>.his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. Naamah's identity as an Ammonite highlights the political alliances formed through marriage during Solomon's reign, as he took many foreign wives (<a href="/1_kings/11.htm">1 Kings 11:1-4</a>). The Ammonites were descendants of Lot (<a href="/genesis/19-38.htm">Genesis 19:38</a>) and often in conflict with Israel. Her mention here may imply the influence of foreign cultures and religions in Judah, contributing to the spiritual decline during Rehoboam's reign (<a href="/1_kings/14-22.htm">1 Kings 14:22-24</a>).And his son Abijam reigned in his place. Abijam, also known as Abijah, succeeded Rehoboam as king of Judah. His reign continued the Davidic line, which is crucial for the fulfillment of God's covenant with David. Despite his short reign and the continuation of idolatrous practices (<a href="/1_kings/15-3.htm">1 Kings 15:3</a>), the preservation of the Davidic line is significant in biblical history, ultimately leading to the birth of Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, as outlined in the genealogies of <a href="/matthew/1-7.htm">Matthew 1:7</a> and <a href="/luke/3-31.htm">Luke 3:31</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/r/rehoboam.htm">Rehoboam</a> The son of Solomon and king of Judah, whose reign was marked by division and conflict.

And his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. [Same words as in ver. 21. The repetition can hardly be, as Bahr, Wordsworth, al., imagine, designed, in order to show that the worship of Moloch was brought by her to Jerusalem (<a href="/1_kings/11-7.htm">1 Kings 11:7</a>), and that she exercised a sinister influence upon her son. As she is twice called "the Ammonitess" it can hardly be doubted that she was one of the "Ammonitesses" (<a href="/1_kings/11-1.htm">1 Kings 11:1</a>, Hebrews) who turned away Solomon's heart; and it is also certain that Rehoboam did not inherit his folly from his father. At the same time these words are more easily accounted for on the supposition that the historian found them in this position in one or more of the documents from which he compiled his history. It is also to be remembered that some of these chronological statements are manifestly by a later hand, and have been transferred from the margin to the text. See on 1 Kings 6:1.] And Abijam [elsewhere called Abijah (<a href="/2_chronicles/12-16.htm">2 Chronicles 12:16</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/13-1.htm">2 Chronicles 13:1</a>), or Abijahu (<a href="/2_chronicles/13-21.htm">2 Chronicles 13:21</a>, Hebrews) Some MSS. have Abijah here. The variation is not easily accounted for except as a clerical error. The supposition of Lightfoot that the name was designedly altered by the historian to avoid the incorporation of the sacred JAH into the name of a bad man is too fanciful, the more so as Abijam was by no means an exceptionally bad king. It is, however, approved by Bahr and Rawlinson. But it is as little probable that Abijam is the original form of the name (Keil). The form Abijahu, the LXX. Ἀβιού, and the analogy of Abiel (<a href="/1_samuel/9-1.htm">1 Samuel 9:1</a>) all make against this idea. On the whole, it is more likely that Abijam results from an error of transcription, ה and the final ם being easily confounded] his son reigned in his stead. <a href="/commentaries/1_kings/14-31.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>And Rehoboam רְחַבְעָ֜ם (rə·ḥaḇ·‘ām) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7346.htm">Strong's 7346: </a> Rehoboam -- 'a people are enlarged', a king of Judah rested וַיִּשְׁכַּ֨ב (way·yiš·kaḇ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7901.htm">Strong's 7901: </a> To lie down with עִם־ (‘im-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5973.htm">Strong's 5973: </a> With, equally with his fathers אֲבֹתָ֗יו (’ă·ḇō·ṯāw) Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1.htm">Strong's 1: </a> Father and was buried וַיִּקָּבֵ֤ר (way·yiq·qā·ḇêr) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Nifal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6912.htm">Strong's 6912: </a> To inter with עִם־ (‘im-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5973.htm">Strong's 5973: </a> With, equally with his fathers אֲבֹתָיו֙ (’ă·ḇō·ṯāw) Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1.htm">Strong's 1: </a> Father in the City בְּעִ֣יר (bə·‘îr) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5892.htm">Strong's 5892: </a> Excitement of David; דָּוִ֔ד (dā·wiḏ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1732.htm">Strong's 1732: </a> David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesse his mother’s אִמּ֔וֹ (’im·mōw) Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_517.htm">Strong's 517: </a> A mother, ) name וְשֵׁ֣ם (wə·šêm) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8034.htm">Strong's 8034: </a> A name was Naamah נַעֲמָ֖ה (na·‘ă·māh) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5279.htm">Strong's 5279: </a> Naamah -- a sister of Tubal-cain, also an Ammonitess the Ammonite. הָעַמֹּנִ֑ית (hā·‘am·mō·nîṯ) Article | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5985.htm">Strong's 5985: </a> Ammonitess -- an Ammonite woman And his son בְּנ֖וֹ (bə·nōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son Abijam אֲבִיָּ֥ם (’ă·ḇî·yām) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_38.htm">Strong's 38: </a> Abijam -- 'father of (the) sea', an Israelite name became king וַיִּמְלֹ֛ךְ (way·yim·lōḵ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4427.htm">Strong's 4427: </a> To reign, inceptively, to ascend the throne, to induct into royalty, to take counsel in his place. תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ (taḥ·tāw) Preposition | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8478.htm">Strong's 8478: </a> The bottom, below, in lieu of <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/1_kings/14-31.htm">1 Kings 14:31 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/1_kings/14-31.htm">1 Kings 14:31 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/1_kings/14-31.htm">1 Kings 14:31 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/1_kings/14-31.htm">1 Kings 14:31 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/1_kings/14-31.htm">1 Kings 14:31 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/1_kings/14-31.htm">1 Kings 14:31 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_kings/14-31.htm">1 Kings 14:31 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_kings/14-31.htm">1 Kings 14:31 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/1_kings/14-31.htm">1 Kings 14:31 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/1_kings/14-31.htm">1 Kings 14:31 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/1_kings/14-31.htm">OT History: 1 Kings 14:31 Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was (1Ki iKi i Ki 1 Kg 1kg) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/1_kings/14-30.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Kings 14:30"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Kings 14:30" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/1_kings/15-1.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Kings 15:1"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Kings 15:1" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
