וְדִבְרֵי רְחַבְעָם הָרִֽאשֹׁנִים וְהָאַחֲרוֹנִים הֲלֹא־הֵם כְּתוּבִים בְּדִבְרֵי שְׁמַעְיָה הַנָּבִיא וְעִדּוֹ הַחֹזֶה לְהִתְיַחֵשׂ וּמִלְחֲמוֹת רְחַבְעָם וְיָרׇבְעָם כׇּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃
Now the acts of Reĥav῾am, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shema῾ya the prophet, and of ῾Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Reĥav῾am and Yorov῾am continually.

וַיִּשְׁכַּב רְחַבְעָם עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקָּבֵר בְּעִיר דָּוִיד וַיִּמְלֹךְ אֲבִיָּה בְנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ {פ}
And Reĥav῾am slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Aviyya his son reigned in his stead.

בדברי שמעיה הנביא. כל נביא ונביא היה כותב ספרו מה שהיה מתנבא וזהו שמעיה שאמר לעיל (ב' י"א) ולקמן (י"ב) מוכיח ויתר דברי אביה ודרכיו ודבריו כתובין במדרש הנביא עדו ספרו היה נקרא מדרש:
in the words of Shemaiah the prophet Every prophet would write his book, containing that which he prophesied, and this is the Shemaiah who was mentioned above (11:2, 12:5). And the verse written further (13:22), “And the rest of the deeds of Abijah and his ways and his words are written in the midrash of the prophet Iddo,” proves this, [that each prophet wrote a book of his prophecies, and] his [Iddo’s] book was called midrash.
