21And when RehoboamH7346 was comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, he assembledH6950 all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, with the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, an hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505 chosen menH977, which were warriorsH4421H6213, to fightH3898 against the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to bringH7725 the kingdomH4410 againH7725 to RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010. 22But the wordH1697 of GodH430 came unto ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559, 23SpeakH559 unto RehoboamH7346, the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and unto all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and to the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, 24Thus saithH559 the LordH3068, Ye shall not go upH5927, nor fightH3898 against your brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004; for this thingH1697 isH1961 from me. They hearkenedH8085 therefore to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, and returnedH7725 to departH3212, according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068.
