Where else “amar” appearsYHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

Shemaiah stops the war
2 Chronicles 11:1-4
1Rehoboam came to Jerusalem and assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam. 2But the word of YHWH came to Shemaiah, the man of Elohim, saying, 3“Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, 4‘Thus says YHWH: You shall not go up and you shall not fight against your brothers.
