The reign and death of Rehoboam And Rehoboam rested with his fathers This phrase indicates the death of Rehoboam, the son of Solomon and the first king of the southern kingdom of Judah after the division of Israel.

It reflects the belief in an afterlife and the continuation of one's lineage.

Leaders today must seek wisdom and discernment in their decisions. The Importance of Heritage The mention of the City of David emphasizes the importance of heritage and legacy. Believers are encouraged to consider the spiritual legacy they are building for future generations. God's Sovereignty in Succession Despite human failures, God's plan continues. The transition from Rehoboam to Abijah shows that God's purposes prevail, encouraging believers to trust in His sovereignty. The Role of Rest and Transition "Resting with his fathers" signifies a transition and the natural cycle of life and leadership. It reminds us of the importance of preparing the next generation to carry on God's work.(16) And Rehoboam slept with his fathers.--Abridged from 1Kings 14:31, which see. Abijah.--2Chronicles 11:22. Abijam, the spelling of Kings, is probably due to an accident of transcription. Verse 16. - In the city of David; i.e on Mount Zion, an eminence on the northern part of Mount Moriah. Here was the bury-lug-place of the kings, chambers with recesses for the successive kings. To this place of royal sepulture some of the kings were not permitted to be brought (2 Chronicles 21:20; 2 Chronicles 24:25; 2 Chronicles 28:27; 2 Kings 15:7). The chief cemetery of the city was on the slopes of the valley of the Kidron (1 Kings 15:13; 2 Kings 23:6; 2 Chronicles 29:5, 16); another, probably, was south of the city on the sides of the ravine of Hinnom (Jeremiah 7:32). In the king's sepulchres eleven out of Judah's twenty-two kings were laid - David, Solomon, Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Ahaziah, Amaziah, Jotham, Hezekiah, Josiah. For Asa (2 Chronicles 16:14) and Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 32:33) places of special honour were found. The good priest Jehoiada also had burial in the king's burial-place (2 Chronicles 24:16). Kings Jehoram (2 Chronicles 21:20) and Joash (2 Chronicles 24:25) were buried in the "city of David," but not in the above sepulchres Uzziah, because a leper, was buried in the "field of the burial of the kings" (2 Chronicles 26:23). It is all but certain that these royal sepulchres were in the enclosure now called the "Haram area." (For other interesting and important references, see Nehemiah 3:16; Ezekiel 43:7, 9; 2 Kings 21:18, 26; 2 Chronicles 33:20; 2 Chronicles 28:27.) While Rehoboam was laid thus to sleep with his fathers, Jeroboam's reign had yet four years to run.
