1 Kings 14:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 14:20

And the days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty two years,
&c.] So that he outlived Rehoboam five years, and lived to the second year of the reign of his grandson Asa:

and he slept with his fathers;
or died as they did:

and Nadab his son reigned in his stead;
who perhaps was younger than Abijah, whose sickness and death are before related.

21 Rehoboam son of Solomon was king in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he took the throne and was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city God selected from all the tribes of Israel for the worship of his Name. Rehoboam's mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
