Fortaleceu-se, pois, o rei Roboão em Jerusalém, e reinou. Roboão tinha quarenta e um anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezessete anos em Jerusalém, a cidade que o Senhor escolhera dentre todas as tribos de Israel, para pôr ali o seu nome. E era o nome de sua mãe Naama, a amonita.
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
