Do not fight against your relatives, the Israelites

Rehoboam did many evil things, but he did one things right.
When he mobilized his army to fight against the revolting north tribes, God told him,"Do not fight against your relatives, the Israelites. Go back home, for what has happened is my doing!"
So they obeyed the message of the LORD and went home, as the LORD had commanded.
It is God's will for us not to fight with each other, even though there are difference as big as the difference between Israel and Judah.

Bible verses,
When Rehoboam arrived at Jerusalem, he mobilized the men of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—180,000 select troops—to fight against the men of Israel and to restore the kingdom to himself.
But God said to Shemaiah, the man of God, “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the people of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, ‘This is what the LORD says: Do not fight against your relatives, the Israelites. Go back home, for what has happened is my doing!’” So they obeyed the message of the LORD and went home, as the LORD had commanded. 1 Kings 12:21-24 NLT
