*
And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem ,
he assembled all the house of Judah with the tribe of Benjamin ,
one hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors ,
to fight against the house of Israel ,
that he might restore the kingdom to Rehoboam the son of Solomon .
*
But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God ,
saying ,
* "
Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon ,
king of Judah ,
to all the house of Judah and Benjamin ,
and to the rest of the people ,
saying ,
* "
Thus says the LORD : "
You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel .
Let every man return to his house ,
for this thing is from Me .""'
Therefore they obeyed the word of the LORD ,
and turned back ,
according to the word of the LORD .
