2 Chronicles 12:5-9

5Then 1ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346 and the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 whoH834 had gatheredH622 at JerusalemH3389 becauseH4480H6440 of ShishakH7895, and he saidH559 to them, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘2You have forsakenH5800 Me, so I alsoH637 have forsakenH5800 you 3to ShishakH7895.’” 6So the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478 and the kingH4428 humbledH3665 themselves and saidH559, “The 4LordH3068 is righteousH6662.”

7When the LordH3068 sawH7200 that they humbledH3665 themselves, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to ShemaiahH8098, sayingH559, “5They have humbledH3665 themselves so I will not destroyH7843 them, but I will grantH5414 them someH4592 measure of deliveranceH6413, and 6My wrathH2534 shall not be pouredH5413 out on JerusalemH3389 by meansH3027 of ShishakH7895. 8But they will becomeH1961 his slavesH5650 so 7that they may learnH3045 the difference between My serviceH5656 and the serviceH5656 of the kingdomsH4467 of the countriesH776.”

98So ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 cameH5927 up againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, and tookH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 palaceH1004. He tookH3947 everythingH3605; 9he even tookH3947 the goldenH2091 shieldsH4043 whichH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.
