Shemayah’s prophecy

1 Ki 12:21–24

2 Chr 11:1–4

21So 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. 22But God told the prophet Shemayah, 23Go 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.

11When Rehaveam (Rehoboam) arrived in Yerushalem, he assembled the warriors of Yehudah and Benyamin: 180,000 chosen to fight against Yisrael to bring the kingdom back to Rehaveam. 2But Yahweh spoke to the prophet Shemayah saying, 3Go and tell this to Shelomoh’s son King Rehaveam of Yehudah, and to all the Israeli people of the tribes of Yehudah and Benyamin: 4Yahweh says that you musn’t go and fight with your relatives. Everyone should just go home again because everything that’s happened, came from me.” So they listened to the message from Yahweh, and called off the planned attack against Yeroboam.
