However, Rechav'am (on prophetic advice from Shemayah the Navi; see Melachim I 12 and Divrei HaYamim II 12) resists avenging Yarav’am's rebellion and acquiesces to the split of his kingdom (see Melachim I 12:22-24). After Rechav'am's lack of hostility, Yarav’am can hardly muster popular support for an attack on Yehudah. He has no reason or motive to attack; he is ironically beholden to Rechav’am for his kingdom.
