    3With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people [were] without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.

    4And he took the fenced cities which [pertained] to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

    5Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and [to] the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

    6Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD [is] righteous.

    7And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; [therefore] I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

    8Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

    11And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.

    12And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy [him] altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
