And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam are all the days; 16and Rehoboam lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David, and reign doth Abijah his son in his stead. ‹Previous chapter2 Chronicles 11Next chapter2 Chronicles 13›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Versions2 Chronicles 12 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
