2 Chronicles 12:6

6 consternatique principes Israhel et rex dixerunt iustus est Dominus

2 Chronicles 12:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 12:6

Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled
themselves
Both by words acknowledging their sins, and the justice of God, and by deeds, perhaps putting on sackcloth, as was usual on such occasions, and betaking themselves to fasting and prayer:

and they said, the Lord is righteous;
in giving them up into the hand of their enemies, seeing they had forsaken him, and sinned against him.

2 Chronicles 12:6 In-Context

4 cepitque civitates munitissimas in Iuda et venit usque Hierusalem

5 Semeias autem propheta ingressus est ad Roboam et principes Iuda qui congregati fuerant in Hierusalem fugientes Sesac dixitque ad eos haec dicit Dominus vos reliquistis me et ego reliqui vos in manu Sesac

6 consternatique principes Israhel et rex dixerunt iustus est Dominus

7 cumque vidisset Dominus quod humiliati essent factus est sermo Domini ad Semeiam dicens quia humiliati sunt non disperdam eos daboque eis pauxillum auxilii et non stillabit furor meus super Hierusalem per manum Sesac

8 verumtamen servient ei ut sciant distantiam servitutis meae et servitutis regni terrarum
