21 So when Shelomoh’s son Rehavam (Rehoboam) returned to Yerushalem, he assembled all the tribes of Yehudah and Benyamin, and 180,000 warriors were chosen to fight against the northern tribes to return the kingship to him. 22 But God told the prophet Shemayah, 23 “Go and tell Shelomoh’s son Rehavam, the king of Yehudah, and tell all the descendants of Yehudah and Benyamin, and the remainder of the people, saying, 24 ‘Yahweh says this: Don’t go and fight against your Israeli relatives. Everyone should just return home because everything that happened there was initiated by me.’ ” When they heard Yahweh’s message, they took note of it and everyone went back home.
