2 Chronicles 12:13

So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

KJV

Confortatus est ergo rex Roboam in Jerusalem, atque regnavit : quadraginta autem et unius anni erat cum regnare cœpisset, et decem et septem annis regnavit in Jerusalem, urbe quam elegit Dominus ut confirmaret nomen suum ibi, de cunctis tribubus Israël : nomen autem matris ejus Naama Ammanitis.

Vulgate

καὶ κατίσχυσεν Ῥοβοὰμ ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν· καὶ τεσσεράκοντα καὶ ἑνὸς ἐτῶν Ῥοβοὰμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτόν, καὶ ἑπτὰ καὶ δέκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἐν τῇ πόλει ᾗ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος ἐπονομάσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Νοομμὰ ἡ Ἀμμανεῖτις.

LXX

So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
