Prophet Shemaiah (Judah) (jan 1, 930 BC – jan 1, 920 BC)
Description:
Shemaiah prophesied during the reign of King Rehoboam after the kingdom split. When Rehoboam planned to wage war against the northern tribes, Shemaiah delivered God’s message telling him not to fight, and the king obeyed. This helped prevent immediate civil war between Israel and Judah. His role highlights how prophets could directly influence political decisions and maintain stability.
