2 Chronicles 12:5-8

5Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith Yhwh, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. 6Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Yhwh is righteous. 7And when Yhwh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yhwh 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.1 8Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
