Do not go up to fight against your fellow Israelites.Go home

2 Chronicles 11:1-23
This is what the Lord says: Do not go up to fight against your fellow Israelites.Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.’” So they obeyed the words of the Lord and turned back from marching against Jeroboam.
The Levites even abandoned their pasturelands and property and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the Lord when he appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat and calf idols he had made. Those from every tribe of Israel who set their hearts on seeking the Lord, the God of Israel, followed the Levites to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 
Rehoboam loved Maakah daughter of Absalom more than any of his other wives and concubines. In all, he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines, twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters. 
He acted wisely, dispersing some of his sons throughout the districts of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the fortified cities. He gave them abundant provisions and took many wives for them.
Why?
They obeyed the word of the Lord, for this is the way of the Lord, if they keep fight with their brother will be shamed to them.
For the Temple is located in Judah, so the Levites abandoned their pasturelands and property and came to Judah and Jerusalem. They are honest to serve the Lord Almighty.
Rehoboam loved Makkah daughter of Absalom caused him turned away from the Lord and make his people in disaster.
How?
No matter in good or bad circumstance obey the word of the Lord is the best way, for God loves us. Trust in Him there will be much blessing on us.
