5 Right then, Shemaiah the prophet approached Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he told them, |This is what the LORD says: 'You abandoned me, so I've abandoned you to Shishak.'| 6 In response, the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and declared, |The LORD is righteous.| 7 When the LORD observed that they had humbled themselves, the LORD spoke to Shemaiah, |They have humbled themselves, so I won't destroy them. Instead, I'll grant them some deliverance by not pouring out my indignation on Jerusalem, using Shishak to do it. 2 Chronicles 12:5-7, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
