And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all
their
days.
] For though Rehoboam did not enter into an offensive war, and
attack the children of Israel, being dissuaded from it by
Shemaiah the prophet in the name of the Lord, yet he might
maintain a defensive war; and though there were no pitched
battles between them as afterwards, in his son's time, yet there
might be skirmishes and bickerings on the borders of their
countries.
1 Kings 14:30
