1 Kings 12:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² But the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:

²³ Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, the king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda, and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying:

²⁴ Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: let every man return to his house, for this thing is from me. They hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from their journey, as the Lord had commanded them.
