2 Chronicles
Rehoboam assembled an army to fight Israel, but the word of the LORD came through Shemaiah. The message said not to go up or fight their brothers, because the thing was from God, and they returned home (2 Chronicles 11:1-4).
1When Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4Thus says Yahweh, You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they listened to the words of Yahweh, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
