He said to them,“This is what the LORD says:‘You have rejected me, so I have rejected you and will hand you over to Shishak.’” 6 The leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said,“The LORD is just.” 7 When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the LORD’s message came to Shemaiah:“They have humbled themselves, so I will not destroy them. I will deliver them soon. My anger will not be unleashed against Jerusalem through Shishak. 8 Yet they will become his subjects, so they can experience how serving me differs from serving the surrounding nations.” 9 King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the LORD’s temple and of the royal palace; he took everything, including the gold shields that Solomon had made. 10 King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned them to the officers of the royal guard who protected the entrance to the royal palace. 11 Whenever the king visited the LORD’s temple, the royal guards carried them and then brought them back to the guardroom. 12 So when Rehoboam humbled himself, the LORD relented from his anger and did not annihilate him; Judah experienced some good things.
  • Ps 44:9-9 : 9 But you rejected and embarrassed us! You did not go into battle with our armies. 10 You made us retreat from the enemy. Those who hate us take whatever they want from us. 11 You handed us over like sheep to be eaten; you scattered us among the nations. 12 You sold your people for a pittance; you did not ask a high price for them. 13 You made us an object of disdain to our neighbors; those who live on our borders taunt and insult us. 14 You made us an object of ridicule among the nations; foreigners treat us with contempt. 15 All day long I feel humiliated and am overwhelmed with shame, 16 before the vindictive enemy who ridicules and insults me. 17 All this has happened to us, even though we have not rejected you or violated your covenant with us. 18 We have not been unfaithful, nor have we disobeyed your commands. 19 Yet you have battered us, leaving us a heap of ruins overrun by wild dogs; you have covered us with darkness. 20 If we had rejected our God, and spread out our hands in prayer to another god, 21 would not God discover it, for he knows one’s thoughts? 22 Yet because of you we are killed all day long; we are treated like sheep at the slaughtering block. 23 Rouse yourself! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Wake up! Do not reject us forever! 24 Why do you look the other way, and ignore the way we are oppressed and mistreated? 25 For we lie in the dirt, with our bellies pressed to the ground. 26 Rise up and help us! Rescue us because of your loyal love!
