3 E andou em todos os pecados de seu pai, que havia este feito antes dele; e não foi seu coração completo com o SENHOR seu Deus, como o coração do seu pai Davi.

4 Mas por amor de Davi, deu-lhe o SENHOR seu Deus lâmpada em Jerusalém, levantando-lhe a seu filho depois dele, e sustentando a Jerusalém:

6 E havia guerra entre Roboão e Jeroboão todos os dias de sua vida.
