In Context

19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.

20 It happened, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

21 When Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

23 |Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,

24 'Thus says Yahweh, |You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is of me.|'| So they listened to the word of Yahweh, and returned and went their way, according to the word of Yahweh.
