5 Then Shemaiah (heard by YHWH) the prophet came to Rehoboam (a people has enlarged) and the leaders of Judah (praised) who had gathered at Jerusalem (city of peace) because of Shishak (greedy of fine linen), and he said to them, “This is what the LORD {YHWH} says: ‘You⁺ have forsaken Me; therefore, I have forsaken you⁺ into the hand of Shishak.’” 6 So the leaders of Israel (he wrestles with God) and the king humbled themselves and said, “The LORD is {YHWH} righteous.” 7 When the LORD {YHWH} saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah (heard by YHWH), saying, “They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but will soon grant them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem (city of peace) through Shishak (greedy of fine linen). 2 Chronicles 12:5-7, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
