Beginilah firman TUHAN: Janganlah kamu maju dan janganlah kamu berperang melawan saudara-saudaramu, orang Israel. Pulanglah masing-masing ke rumahnya, sebab Akulah yang menyebabkan hal ini terjadi." Maka mereka mendengarkan firman TUHAN dan pergilah mereka pulang sesuai dengan firman TUHAN itu.
Inilah firman Tuhan: Jangan kamu mendatangi atau memerangi saudara-saudaramu, yaitu bani Israel, melainkan hendaklah masing-masing kamu pulang ke rumahnya karena perkara ini telah jadi dengan kehendak-Ku juga. Hata, maka didengarlah oleh mereka itu akan firman Tuhan ini, lalu mereka itupun balik pulang menurut firman Tuhan.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus saith the Lord,.... A common preface the prophets used when they spoke in the name of the Lord:
ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel; and that because they were their brethren; though that is not the only reason, another follows:
return every man to his house, for this thing is from me; it was according to the will of God, as Josephus rightly says o; it was by his ordination and appointment, though Jeroboam and the people sinned in the way and manner in which they brought it about; and therefore to fight against Israel, in order to regain the kingdom, would be fighting against God, and so to no purpose:
they hearkened therefore to the word of the Lord, and returned to depart according to the word of the Lord; they knew Shemaiah was a prophet of the Lord, and they believed the message he brought came from him, and therefore hearkened and were obedient to it; and with the consent of Rehoboam were disbanded, and returned to their habitations, being satisfied with, and submissive to, the will of God, both king and people.
o Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 8. c. 8. sect. 3.)
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 24. For this thing is from me. — That is, the separation of the ten tribes from the house of David.
They - returned to depart — This was great deference, both in Rehoboam and his officers, to relinquish, at the demand of the prophet, a war which they thought they had good grounds to undertake. The remnant of the people heard the Divine command gratefully, for the mass of mankind are averse from war. No nations would ever rise up against each other, were they not instigated to it or compelled by the rulers.
