2 Chronicles 11:1-4

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Rehoboam in Jerusalem

11 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem,^(A) he mobilized the house of Judah and Benjamin—180,000 choice warriors—to fight against Israel to restore the reign to Rehoboam. ² But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah,^(B) the man of God: ³ “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people: ⁴ ‘This is what the Lord says: You are not to march up and fight against your brothers.^(C) Each of you must return home, for this incident has come from Me.’”^(D)

So they listened to what the Lord said and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
