And when
Rehoboam was
come to
Jerusalem, he
gathered of the
house of
Judah and
Benjamin an
hundred and
fourscore thousand chosen men, which were
warriors*, to
fight against
Israel, that he might
bring the
kingdom again to
Rehoboam.

But the

Thus
saith the
LORD, Ye shall not go
up, nor
fight against your
brethren: return every
man to his
house: for this
thing is
done of me. And they
obeyed the
words of the
LORD, and
returned from
going against
Jeroboam.
