20And it cameH1961 aboutH1961, when allH3605 IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 had returnedH7725, that they sentH7971 word and calledH7121 him to the assemblyH5712, and madeH4427 him kingH4427 overH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478. 1NoneH3808 exceptH2108 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 aloneH905 followedH310 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732.

212Now when RehoboamH7346 had comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, he assembledH6950 allH3605 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, 180,000H3967H8084H505 chosenH977 warriorsH6213H4421, to fightH3898 againstH5973 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to restoreH7725 the kingdomH4410 to RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010. 22But the wordH1697 of GodH430 cameH1961 to 3ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559, 23“TellH559 RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and allH3605 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the 4restH3499 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, 24‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “You shall not goH5927 upH5927 norH3808 fightH3898 againstH5973 your relativesH251 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; returnH7725, everyH376 manH376 to his houseH1004, 5for thisH2088 thingH1697 has comeH1961 from Me.”’” So they listenedH8085 to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, and returnedH7725 to goH1980 their way in accordance with the wordH1697 of the LordH3068.
