2 Chronicles 12:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Then the ·leaders [officers; officials] of ·Judah [^LIsrael; ^Csometimes the name Israel refers specifically to Judah] and King Rehoboam ·were sorry for what they had done [humbled themselves]. They said, “The Lord ·does what is right [is just/fair/righteous].”

⁷ When the Lord saw they ·were sorry for what they had done [humbled themselves], the Lord spoke his word to Shemaiah, saying, “·The king and the leaders are sorry [They have humbled themselves]. So I will not destroy them but will ·save [rescue; ^Tdeliver] them soon. I will not use Shishak to ·punish Jerusalem in [pour out on Jerusalem] my anger. ⁸ But the people of Jerusalem will become Shishak’s ·servants [subjects; slaves] so they may learn the difference between serving me and serving the ·kings [kingdoms] of other nations.”
