Commentary on 2 Chronicles 12:1

Theological / Devotional

Forsook the law. This evidently occurred after Rehoboam’s third year (ch. 11:17). The evils of Rehoboam’s reign are set forth in greater detail in Kings. There it is stated that the people established high places, images, and groves, and that other abominations, such as the degrading practices of the sodomites, were encouraged (see on 1 Kings 14:22-24).
