2 CHRONICLES 12:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.”
But when he humbled himself the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to make a complete destruction; and conditions in Judah were good — Rehoboam's humiliation (בִּשְׁפִּיל אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ) turned aside divine wrath (וַיִּשְׁמַע יְהוָה אֶת־תְּחִנָּתוֹ). 'Conditions in Judah were good' (וַיִּהְיוּ דְבָרִים טוֹבִים בִּיהוּדָה)—the kingdom achieved stability despite vassalage. The covenant principle: humiliation and repentance restore divine favor.
