And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem and called up the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.

And the Word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, a man of God, saying,

Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon the king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

So says Jehovah, You shall not go up, nor fight with your brothers. Each return to his house, for this thing has come from Me. And they heard the Words of Jehovah, and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
