Don't Fight Your Brothers

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.

Hearts Set on God

Name Date

Read and Think

Rehoboam gathered a large army to win back the kingdom. But Yahweh's word came through Shemaiah: they must not go up or fight against their brothers, for this thing was from God. They listened to Yahweh's words and turned back.

Rehoboam then strengthened Judah. He built fortified cities, put captains in them, and stored food, oil, wine, shields, and spears. Judah and Benjamin stayed with him.

Jeroboam set up his own priests for the high places and calf idols, and cast off the Levites. So the priests and Levites left their homes and came to Judah. After them, all who set their hearts to seek Yahweh came to Jerusalem to sacrifice. For three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.

2 Chronicles 11 · Grade 5

Strength Through Faithfulness

Name Date

Read and Think

Rehoboam's first impulse was war, but he obeyed the word of Yahweh through Shemaiah and turned back. The Chronicler praises this obedience. Rather than spending his strength on fighting his brothers, Rehoboam built and stocked fortress cities across Judah.

The real strength of Judah came from elsewhere. Jeroboam had made his own priests for the calf idols and cast out the Levites. Priests and Levites abandoned their pasture lands and property to come to Judah and Jerusalem. Then faithful people from every tribe followed them to worship Yahweh.

These worshipers strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam strong for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon. The chapter also lists Rehoboam's large family. Faithfulness, not fortresses, was Judah's true defense. In the New Testament, Jesus says, seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33).

Show What You Know

  1. What was Rehoboam's first impulse?

  2. What did Rehoboam build instead of fighting?

  3. Why did the Levites leave their land?

  4. What was Judah's true defense?

  5. What does Jesus say in Matthew 6:33?
