Rehoboam did not set his heart to seek Yahweh - 2 Chronicles 10-12

Rehoboam’s Foolish Reign

[15] So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turn [of events] from God, that Yahweh might establish His word, which He spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. [2Ch 10:15 LSB]

Rehoboam Builds Cities for Fortification

[4] 'Thus says Yahweh, "You shall not go up and fight against your brothers; return every man to his house, for this thing is from Me."'" So they listened to the words of Yahweh and returned from going against Jeroboam. [2Ch 11:4 LSB]

[13] Moreover, the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel took their stand with him from all their territories. [2Ch 11:13 LSB]

Jeroboam Sets Up His Own Priests

[14] For the Levites left their pasture lands and their possession [of land] and went to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from ministering as priests to Yahweh-- 

[15] And he set up priests of his own for the high places, for the goat demons and for the calves which he had made-- [2Ch 11:14-15 LSB]

[16] Now those from all the tribes of Israel who gave their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, followed them to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers. [2Ch 11:16 LSB]

Rehoboam’s Family

[22] And Rehoboam set up Abijah the son of Maacah [to be] head and ruler among his brothers, for he [intended] to make him king. [2Ch 11:22 LSB]

Shishak of Egypt Comes Against Judah

[1] Now it happened that when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him forsook the law of Yahweh. [2Ch 12:1 LSB]

[6] So the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, "Yahweh is righteous." 

[7] When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves [so] I will not bring them to ruin, but I will grant them some [measure] of escape, and My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 

[8] "But they will become his slaves so that they may know [the difference between] My slavery and the slavery of the kingdoms of the countries." [2Ch 12:6-8 LSB]

Shishak Takes from Yahweh’s House

[12] And when he humbled himself, the anger of Yahweh turned away from him, so as not to ruin [him] completely; and also conditions were good in Judah. [2Ch 12:12 LSB]

[14] And he did evil because he did not set his heart to seek Yahweh. [2Ch 12:14 LSB]
