2 Chronicles 11:1-4
Rehoboam Builds Cities for Fortification
11aThen Rehoboam came to Jerusalem and assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who could wage war, to fight against Israel to return the kingdom to Rehoboam. 2But the word of Yahweh came to aShemaiah the man of God, saying, 3“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, 4‘Thus says Yahweh, “You shall not go up and fight against ayour brothers; return every man to his house, bfor this thing is from Me.”’” So they listened to the words of Yahweh and returned from going against Jeroboam.
