21And when RehoboamH7346 arrivedH935 in JerusalemH3389, he mobilizedH6950 the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144—180,000H3967H8084H505 chosenH977H6213 warriorsH4421—to fightH3898 againstH5973 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and restoreH7725 the kingdomH4410 to RehoboamH7346 sonH1121 of SolomonH8010.

22But the wordH1697 of GodH430 cameH1961 toH413 ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of GodH430: 23“TellH559H413 RehoboamH7346 sonH1121 of SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, allH3605 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the restH3499 of the peopleH5971H559 24that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘You are notH3808 to go upH5927H3808 and fightH3898 againstH5973 your brothersH251, the IsraelitesH1121H3478. EachH376 of you must returnH7725 homeH1004, forH3588 thisH2088 isH1961 MyH854 doingH1697.’”

So they listenedH8085 to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 and turned backH7725H1980 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
