2 Chronicles 34:26-28

34:26 Say this to the king of Judah, who sent you to seek an oracle from the Lord: “This is what the Lord God of Israel says concerning the words you have heard: 34:27 ‘You displayed a sensitive spirit ¹  and humbled yourself before God when you heard his words concerning this place and its residents. You humbled yourself before me, tore your clothes and wept before me, and I have heard you,’ says the Lord. 34:28 ‘Therefore I will allow you to die and be buried in peace. ²  You will not have to witness all the disaster I will bring on this place and its residents.’”’” Then they reported back to the king.

[34:27]  ¹ tn Heb “Because your heart was tender.”
