2 Chronicles 10-162 Chronicles 10-16

10 Rehoboam–Kingdom divided11 Rehoboam–Strength: passion, obedience, walk12 Rehoboam–Weakness Forsook law, didn’t seek God

And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.

Amplified - And he did evil because he did not set his heart to seek (inquire of, yearn for) the Lord with all his desire

2 Chronicles 12:142 Chronicles 12:14

One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.

When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
