1 Kings 14:22

And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked Him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done. Cf 2 Chronicles 11:5; 2 Chronicles 12:1. This decay set in just as soon as Rehoboain had established his kingdom and fortified its boundaries.
