2 Chronicles 12:6-12
-
6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.
-
7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
-
8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
-
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
-
10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.
-
11 And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.
-
12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
