He said to them, "This is what the LORD says: 'You have abandoned me; therefore, I now abandon you to Shishak.'" 6 The leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, "The LORD is righteous." 7 When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah: "Since they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them, but will grant them some deliverance. My anger will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak. 8 However, they will become his servants, so that they may learn the difference between serving me and serving the kings of other lands." 9 Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the royal palace.
