Divrey Hayamim Bais 11:3 In-Context

1 1 And when Rechav’am was come to Yerushalayim, he gathered of the Bais Yehudah and Binyamin a hundred and fourscore thousand bachur oseh milchamah (chosen men, which were warriors), to make war against Yisroel, that he might restore the mamlachah to Rechav’am.

2 But the Devar Hashem came to Shemayah the Ish HaElohim, saying,

3 Speak unto Rechav’am ben Sh’lomo Melech Yehudah, and to kol Yisroel in Yehudah and Binyamin, saying,

4 Thus saith Hashem, Ye shall not go up, nor make war against your achim. Shuvu (return) every ish to his bais, for this thing is done from Me. And they obeyed the divrei Hashem, and returned back from going against Yarov’am.

5 And Rechav’am dwelt in Yerushalayim, and built arim lematzor (cities for defense) in Yehudah.
