וּרְחַבְעָם בֶּן־שְׁלֹמֹה מָלַךְ בִּיהוּדָה בֶּן־אַרְבָּעִים וְאַחַת שָׁנָה רְחַבְעָם בְּמׇלְכוֹ וּֽשְׁבַע עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה ׀ מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר־בָּחַר יְהֹוָה לָשׂוּם אֶת־שְׁמוֹ שָׁם מִכֹּל שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ נַעֲמָה הָעַמֹּנִֽית׃
And Rechavom, the son of Shlomo reigned in Yehuda. Rechavom was forty one years old when he became king, and for seventeen years he reigned in Yerushalayim; the city that Adonoy had chosen to place His Name there from among all the tribes of Yisroel. His mother’s name was Naamoh, the Ammonite.

ויעש יהודה הרע. ולא נתנו זה על לבם:
