Notes

1 Kings 14:22

Judah did evil: Although Rehoboam started his reign with good spiritual intentions (2 Chronicles 11:5–17, 23), he abandoned God's principles (2 Chronicles 12:1).

1 Kings 14:21–31

Between the start and end details of Rehoboam’s rule (1 Kings 14:21, 29–31), the account highlights the declining spiritual state of God’s people in Judah (1 Kings 14:22–24) and an invasion by Egypt (1 Kings 14:25–28).
