1 Kings 12:23-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²³ Tell Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and all the house of Judah and Benjamin and the remnant of the people,

²⁴ Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up or fight against your brethren, the Israelites. Return every man to his house, for this thing is from Me. So they hearkened to the Lord’s word and returned home, according to the Lord’s word.

²⁵ Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. He went out from there and built Penuel.
