Kings IV 22:19

19 because thy heart was softened, and thou was humbled before , when thou heardest all that I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, that it should be utterly destroyed and accursed, and thou didst rend thy garments, and weep before me; I also have heard, saith the Lord.

Kings IV 22:19 In-Context

17 because they have forsaken me, and burnt incense to other gods, that they might provoke me with the works of their hands: therefore my wrath shall burn forth against this place, and shall not be quenched.

18 And to the king of Juda that sent you to enquire of the Lord, —thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, the words which thou hast heard;

19 because thy heart was softened, and thou was humbled before , when thou heardest all that I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, that it should be utterly destroyed and accursed, and thou didst rend thy garments, and weep before me; I also have heard, saith the Lord.

20 It shall not be so : behold, I add thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy tomb in peace, and thine eyes shall not see among all the evils which I bring upon this place.
