2 Chronicles 12:5-12
5Then 1Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, “Thus says the Lord, ‘2You have forsaken Me, so I also have forsaken you 3to Shishak.’” 6So the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The 4Lord is righteous.”
7When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, “5They have humbled themselves so I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some measure of deliverance, and 6My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by means of Shishak. 8But they will become his slaves so 7that they may learn the difference between My service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
98So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s palace. He took everything; 9he even took the golden shields which Solomon had made. 10Then King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and committed them to the 10care of the commanders of the 11guard who guarded the door of the king’s house. 11As often as the king entered the house of the Lord, the 12guards came and carried them and then brought them back into the 13guards’ room. 12And 14when he humbled himself, the anger of the Lord turned away from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and also conditions 15were good in Judah.
