1 Kings 12:24

Thus says the LORD, You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned back according to the word of the LORD.

(Menochius) God must have touched the hearts of the leaders, to convince them that he spoke by the mouth of Semeias. (Salien) The Vatican Septuagint here subjoins almost the whole history of Jeroboam, improperly. (Haydock) See chap. xiv.
