So king  Rehoboam  strengthened   himself in Jerusalem, and reigned  : for Rehoboam  was one  and forty  years  old  when he began to reign , and he reigned   seventeen   years  in Jerusalem, the city  which the LORD  had chosen   out of all the tribes  of Israel, to put   his name  there. And his mother's  name  was Naamah  an Ammonitess.
