[[2 Chron-11]] Prev: [[Prophecies in 2 Chron-10]] | Next: [[Prophecies in 2 Chron-12]] --- ### 'Yahweh says, "You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Every man return to his house; for this thing is of me."' So they listened to Yahweh's words, and returned from going against Jeroboam. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: God prevents King Rehoboam from waging civil war to reunite the kingdom, explicitly declaring that the division of the United Monarchy into two separate nations was a result of His divine decree. *Historical context*: The division of the United Monarchy into the Northern Kingdom (Israel) and the Southern Kingdom (Judah) is historically dated to approximately 930 BCE. Archaeological evidence, such as the Tel Dan Stele (which mentions the 'House of David') and Assyrian records like the Kurkh Monolith (which mentions 'Ahab the Israelite'), confirms that two distinct and often rival Israelite polities existed in the Levant during the Iron Age II period, exactly as described in the biblical narrative of the split. *Related to*: [[1 Kings-11#v29|1 Kings 11:29]]-39 (The prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, where he tore a new garment into twelve pieces and gave ten to Jeroboam, symbolizing that God would tear the kingdom from Solomon's son and give ten tribes to Jeroboam). --- #ai_prophecy
