Prophecy and Repentance
2 Chronicles 12:5-8
5
Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says the LORD, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”
6
Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “The LORD is righteous.”
7
When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8
Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
