2 Chronicles 12:6-12
12:6 The leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The
Lord is just.”
12:7 When the
Lord saw that they humbled themselves, he gave this message to Shemaiah:
“They have humbled themselves, so I will not destroy them. I will deliver them soon.
My anger will not be unleashed against
Jerusalem through
Shishak.
12:8 Yet they will become his subjects, so they can experience how serving me differs from serving the surrounding nations.”
12:9 King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the Lord’s temple and of the royal palace; he took everything, including the gold shields that Solomon had made.
12:10 King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned them to the officers of the royal guard who protected the entrance to the royal palace.
12:11 Whenever the king visited the Lord’s temple, the royal guards carried them and then brought them back to the guardroom.
12:12 So when Rehoboam humbled himself, the Lord relented from his anger and did not annihilate him; Judah experienced some good things.
