1 Kings 12:22-24

English Standard Version

²² But the word of God came to ^(A)Shemaiah the man of God: ²³ “Say to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the ^(B)rest of the people, ²⁴ ‘Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up or fight against your relatives the people of Israel. Every man return to his home, ^(C)for this thing is from me.’” So they listened to the word of the Lord and went home again, according to the word of the Lord.
