2 Chronicles 12:14

14 fecit autem malum et non praeparavit cor suum ut quaereret Dominum

2 Chronicles 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.

2 Chronicles 12:14 In-Context

14 fecit autem malum et non praeparavit cor suum ut quaereret Dominum

15 opera vero Roboam prima et novissima scripta sunt in libris Semeiae prophetae et Addo videntis et diligenter exposita pugnaveruntque adversum se Roboam et Hieroboam cunctis diebus

16 et dormivit Roboam cum patribus suis sepultusque est in civitate David et regnavit Abia filius eius pro eo
