*
Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves ;
and they said ,
The LORD is righteous .
*
And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves ,
the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah Sh @
ma #
yah #,
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 .
*
Nevertheless they shall be his servants ;
that they may know my service ,
and the service of the kingdoms of the countries .
*
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem ,
and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD ,
and the treasures of the kings house ;
he took all :
he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made .
*
Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass ,
and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard ,
that kept the entrance of the kings house .
*
And when the king entered into the house of the LORD ,
the guard came and fetched them ,
and brought them again into the guard chamber .
*
And when he humbled himself ,
the wrath of the LORD turned from him ,
that he would not destroy him altogether :
and also in Judah things went well .
