Old Testament

New Testament

2 Chronicles 12:6-10 Amplified Bible (AMP)

6. Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, The Lord is righteous.

7. And when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves, so 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.

8. Nevertheless, they shall be his servants, that they may know [the difference between] My service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

9. So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem; he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the king's house. He took everything. He took away also the shields of gold Solomon had made.

10. Instead of them King Rehoboam made shields of bronze and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard who kept the door of the king's house.
