2 Chronicles 12:5-8

5The prophet Shemaiah then came to speak to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah. They had met together in Jerusalem because they were afraid of King Shishak. Shemaiah said to them, ‘The Lord says this: “You have turned away from me. So now I have turned away from you. I will let Shishak take power over you.” ’

6The leaders of Israel and the king made themselves humble. They said, ‘The Lord is right to do that.’

7The Lord saw that they had made themselves humble. So he said to Shemaiah, ‘Because they have made themselves humble, I will not destroy them. I will soon rescue them. I will not use Shishak to completely destroy Jerusalem's people. But because I am angry,

8they will become his servants. Then they will learn what it is like to serve a foreign king instead of me.’
