Thus sayth the Lord, Ye shall not goe vp, nor fight against your brethren: returne euery man to his house: for this thing is done of me. They obeyed therfore the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Ieroboam.

وَكَانَ فَهِيمًا، وَفَرَّقَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَنِيهِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرَاضِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْحَصِينَةِ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ زَادًا بِكَثْرَةٍ. وَطَلَبَ نِسَاءً كَثِيرَةً. ٢٣ 23
And he taught him: and dispersed all his sonnes throughout all the countreis of Iudah and Beniamin vnto euery strong citie: and hee gaue them aboundance of vitaile, and desired many wiues.
