2 Chronicles 12:5-12
5Then ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030 cameH935 toH413 RehoboamH7346 and the leadersH8269 of JudahH3063 whoH834 had gatheredH622 atH413 JerusalemH3389 because ofH6440 ShishakH7895, and he said toH559 them, “This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘YouH859 have forsaken MeH5800; thereforeH637, IH589 have forsakenH5800 youH853 into the handH3027 of ShishakH7895.’”
6So the leadersH8269 of IsraelH3478 and the kingH4428 humbled themselvesH3665 and saidH559, “The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662.”
7When the LORDH3068 sawH7200 thatH3588 they had humbled themselvesH3665, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 toH413 ShemaiahH8098, sayingH559, “They have humbled themselvesH3665; I will notH3808 destroy themH7843, but will soon grantH5414H4592 them deliveranceH6413. My wrathH2534 will notH3808 be poured outH5413 on JerusalemH3389 throughH3027 ShishakH7895. 8NeverthelessH3588, they will becomeH1961 his servantsH5650, so that they may learnH3045 the difference between serving MeH5656 and servingH5656 the kingsH4467 of other landsH776.”
9So KingH4428 ShishakH7895 of EgyptH4714 attackedH5927H5921 JerusalemH3389 and seizedH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 andH853 of the royalH4428 palaceH1004. He tookH3947 everythingH3605, including the goldH2091 shieldsH4043 thatH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.
10Then KingH4428 RehoboamH7346 madeH6213 bronzeH5178 shieldsH4043 in their placeH8478 and committed themH6485 toH5921 the careH3027 of the captainsH8269 of the guardH7323 on dutyH8104 at the entranceH6607 to the royalH4428 palaceH1004. 11AndH1961 wheneverH1767 the kingH4428 enteredH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the guardsH7323 would goH935 with him, bearingH5375 the shields, and later they would return themH7725 toH413 the guardroomH7323H8372.
12Because Rehoboam humbled himselfH3665, the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 turned awayH7725 from himH4480, and He did notH3808 destroy him completelyH7843H3617. IndeedH1571, conditionsH1697 wereH1961 goodH2896 in JudahH3063.
