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 He took the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.

5 Then the prophet Shemaiah came to Rehoboam and to the officers of Judah, who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the Lord: You abandoned me, so I have abandoned you to the hand of Shishak."

6 Then the officers of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, "The Lord is in the right."

7 When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying: "They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants, so that they may know the difference between serving me and serving the kingdoms of other lands."
