Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 11:4

"Thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they hearkened unto the words of Jehovah, and returned from going against Jeroboam." — 2 Chronicles 11:4 (ASV)

Thus says the Lord.—The words of the prophecy are reported as in 1 Kings 12:24, omitting “the sons of Israel” after “your brethren.”

This thing is done of me.—Literally, from me became (arose) this matter; namely, of the revolt of the ten tribes. (Compare to 2 Chronicles 10:15: For the cause was of God.)

Words.—The term is “Word” in Kings and the versions here, no doubt rightly, as this is the usual phrase. But compare to 1 Samuel 15:1.

From going against Jeroboam.—In Kings, the phrase is “To go away, according to the word of the Lord”—a tautology which the chronicler has avoided. The rest of the chapter is missing in the Syriac and Arabic Versions, which have instead 1 Kings 12:25–30; 1 Kings 13:34; and 1 Kings 14:1–9, where they break off abruptly, without finishing Ahijah’s prophecy.
