14 And he did rah, because he set not his lev to seek Hashem.

Divrey Hayamim Bais 12:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 12:14

And he did evil
Committed idolatry, relapsed into that, his humiliation not being hearty and sincere:

because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord;
by prayer and supplication, and by an attendance on the service and worship of God; for though he did these things outwardly, yet not sincerely and heartily; he did not engage in them seriously and in good earnest, with affection and fervour.

Divrey Hayamim Bais 12:14 In-Context

12 And when he humbled himself, the Af Hashem turned from him, that He would not destroy him altogether; and also in Yehudah things went well.

13 So HaMelech Rechav’am strengthened himself in Yerushalayim, and reigned; for Rechav’am was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Yerushalayim, HaIr that Hashem had chosen out of all the Shivtei Yisroel, to put Shmo there. And the shem immo was Na’amah HaAmmonit.

14 And he did rah, because he set not his lev to seek Hashem.

15 Now the acts of Rechav’am, harishonim and ha’acharonim, are they not written in the Divrei Shemayah HaNavi, and of Iddo HaChozer with genealogies? And there were milchamot between Rechav’am and Yarov’am continually.

16 And Rechav’am slept with Avotav, and was buried in Ir Dovid; and Aviyah bno reigned in his place.
