28. both Rehoboam, who had little prudence, and who turned away the people by his counsel,

29. and Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, and who provided a way of sin to Ephraim. And their sins were multiplied exceedingly.

30. They thoroughly turned them away from their own land.

31. And they sought every kind of wickedness, even until punishment overwhelmed them, and freed them from every kind of sin.
