2 Chronicles 11 · Grade 3

Don't Fight Your Brothers

Name Date

Read the Story

Rehoboam gathered men from Judah and Benjamin to fight Israel. But Yahweh's word came to Shemaiah the man of God. He told them not to fight against their brothers. God told every man to return home, for this was from Him.

They listened to Yahweh's words and went home. Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built cities for defense. He put food, oil, wine, shields, and spears in them.

The priests and Levites left their land in Israel and came to Judah, because Jeroboam had cast them off. People from every tribe who set their hearts to seek Yahweh came to Jerusalem to worship.

Memory Verse

“After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those who set their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.”

2 Chronicles 11:16 (WEB)
