Rotherham(i)
6 Then the rulers of Israel and the king humbled themselves,––and said, Righteous, is Yahweh!
7 And, when Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came unto Shemaiah, saying––They have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them,––but will grant them, in a little while, to escape, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem, by the hand of Shishak.
8 Nevertheless they shall become his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, the whole, he took,––and he took the bucklers of gold, which Solomon had made.
10 And King Rehoboam made, instead of them, bucklers of bronze,––and committed them unto the hand of the captains of the runners, who kept guard at the entrance of the house of the king.
11 And so it was, whensoever the king came into the house of Yahweh, the runners came and bare them, and then returned them into the chamber of the runners.
12 But, when he humbled himself, then turned from him the anger of Yahweh, that he would not destroy, to make an end,––moreover also, in Judah, there were some good things.
