1 Kings 14:30
There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.
BSB
ASV
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
KJV
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
Was war - Not an invasive war with potent armies, which was forbidden, chap. xii, 24, and not revived 'till Abijam's reign, 2 Chron. xiii, 1-3, but a defensive war from those hostilities which by small parties and skirmishes they did to one another.
It was strange that David would marry his son Solomon to an Ammonitess (for it was done while he lived), but it is probable that Solomon was in love with her, because she was Naamah, a beauty (so it signifies), and his father was loth to cross him, but it proved to have a very bad influence upon posterity.
