His reign is marked by a lack of wisdom compared to his father, Solomon. The phrase "from first to last" suggests a comprehensive account of his reign, indicating that his actions, both good and bad, were recorded. This reflects the biblical principle that God is aware of all human actions and holds leaders accountable.are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the Prophet and of Iddo the Seer concerning the genealogies? Shemaiah and Iddo were prophets during the time of Rehoboam. Shemaiah is known for delivering God's message to Rehoboam, warning him not to fight against the northern tribes after the kingdom split. Iddo is mentioned in other parts of the Bible as a chronicler of the kings. The mention of "genealogies" highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in Israelite culture, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises through specific family lines. This also underscores the role of prophets and seers in documenting history and providing divine insight.There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days. The division of the kingdom led to ongoing conflict between Rehoboam, who ruled Judah, and Jeroboam, who ruled the northern kingdom of Israel. This strife is a direct consequence of Rehoboam's harsh policies and failure to heed wise counsel, leading to the fulfillment of God's judgment on Solomon's house. The persistent warfare symbolizes the spiritual and political division that plagued Israel, serving as a cautionary tale about the consequences of disobedience to God. This conflict also foreshadows the eventual downfall of both kingdoms due to their continued unfaithfulness.<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.

The authorities quoted here are the works of Shemaiah and of Iddo, and it is possible that the following words touching the continual wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, which have not the substantive verb among them, may have been part of the title of Iddo's work, although it is more probable that his work on 'Genealogies' would retain the character of a specialty. We subjoin for English readers a literal translation of this verse: "And the words (acts) of Jeroboam first and last, are they not written in the words (acts) of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer touching genealogies" [but Gesenius, sub voce," in the manner of a genealogical table"] "and wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam perpetual." We think that neither our Authorized Version nor Gesenius's rendering probably convey the correct meaning. The hithp, of יַחַשׁ would be better satisfied by the rendering, "to make a register," i.e. "to preserve a continued register of David's genealogy." <a href="/commentaries/2_chronicles/12-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Now the acts וְדִבְרֵ֣י (wə·ḏiḇ·rê) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1697.htm">Strong's 1697: </a> A word, a matter, thing, a cause of Rehoboam רְחַבְעָ֗ם (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 from first הָרִאשֹׁנִים֙ (hā·ri·šō·nîm) Article | Adjective - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7223.htm">Strong's 7223: </a> First, in place, time, rank to last, וְהָאֲ֣חַרוֹנִ֔ים (wə·hā·’ă·ḥa·rō·w·nîm) Conjunctive waw, Article | Adjective - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_314.htm">Strong's 314: </a> Hinder, late, last, western [are] they הֲלֹא־ (hă·lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no not הֵ֨ם (hêm) Pronoun - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1992.htm">Strong's 1992: </a> They written כְּתוּבִ֜ים (kə·ṯū·ḇîm) Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3789.htm">Strong's 3789: </a> To grave, to write in the records בְּדִבְרֵ֨י (bə·ḏiḇ·rê) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1697.htm">Strong's 1697: </a> A word, a matter, thing, a cause of Shemaiah שְׁמַֽעְיָ֧ה (šə·ma‘·yāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8098.htm">Strong's 8098: </a> Shemaiah -- 'Yah hears', the name of a number of Israelites the Prophet הַנָּבִ֛יא (han·nā·ḇî) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5030.htm">Strong's 5030: </a> A spokesman, speaker, prophet and of Iddo וְעִדּ֥וֹ (wə·‘id·dōw) Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5714.htm">Strong's 5714: </a> Iddo -- 'timely', the name of several Israelites the Seer הַחֹזֶ֖ה (ha·ḥō·zeh) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2374.htm">Strong's 2374: </a> A beholder in vision, a compact concerning the genealogies?
