Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.(2 Chronicles 12:6)

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.(2 Chronicles 12:7)

Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.(2 Chronicles 12:8)

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.

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.(2 Chronicles 12:10)

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.(2 Chronicles 12:11)

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.(2 Chronicles 12:12)
