2 Chronicles 11

Rehoboam assembles 180,000 warriors to reclaim the northern tribes, but the prophet Shemaiah delivers YHWH's word commanding him to abandon the military campaign, recognizing the kingdom's division as God's will.[1][2] Following this obedience, Rehoboam fortifies strategic cities in Judah and Benjamin, and priests and Levites from the north migrate to Judah, strengthening his kingdom as Jeroboam leads the northern tribes into religious apostasy.[1][5]
