2 Chronicles 12:2–8

^2cIn the fifth year of King Rehoboam, because they had been unfaithful to the Lord, ^dShishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem ³with 1,200 chariots and 60,000 horsemen. And the people were without number who came with him from Egypt—^eLibyans, Sukkiim, and Ethiopians. ⁴And he took ^fthe fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem. ⁵Then ^gShemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says the Lord, ^h‘You abandoned me, so I have abandoned you to the hand of Shishak.’ ” ⁶Then the princes of ⁱIsrael and the king humbled themselves and said, ^j“The Lord is righteous.” ⁷When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah: ^k“They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, ^land my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. ⁸Nevertheless, they shall be servants to him, ^mthat they may know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
