2 Chronicles 11:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ “Speak to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel who are in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

⁴ ‘Thus says the LORD: “You shall neither go up nor fight against your brethren. Every man should return to his house. For I have done this thing.”’” Therefore, they obeyed the Word of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

⁵ And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem and built strong cities in Judah.
