2 Chronicles 12:5-7
New English Translation
5 Shemaiah the prophet visited Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who were assembled in Jerusalem because of Shishak. He said to them, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You have rejected me, so I have rejected you and will hand you over to Shishak.’”[a] 6 The leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The Lord is just.”[b] 7 When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the Lord’s message came to Shemaiah: “They have humbled themselves, so I will not destroy them. I will deliver them soon.[c] My anger will not be unleashed against[d] Jerusalem through Shishak.
