2 Chronicles 12:8 Context
6Whereupon, the Princes of Israel, and the king humbled themselues and they saide, The Lord is righteous. 7And when the Lord saw that they humbled themselues, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They haue humbled themselues, therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliuerance, and my wrath shall not bee powred out vpon Ierusalem, by the hand of Shishak. 8Neuerthelesse they shalbe his seruants, that they may know my seruice, and the seruice of the kingdomes of the countreys. 9So Shishak king of Egypt came vp against Ierusalem, and tooke away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the kings house, hee tooke all: he caried away also the shields of gold, which Solomon had made. 10In stead of which, king Rehoboam made shields of brasse, and committed them to the hands of the chiefe of the guard, that kept the entrance of the Kings house.
