2 CHRONICLES 12:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.”
Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, 'The LORD is righteous' — Upon hearing the prophecy, 'the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves' (וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ הַשָּׂרִים וְהַמֶּלֶךְ וַיִּשְׁפְּלוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ צַדִּיק יְהוָה). The recognition of divine justice (צַדִּיק יְהוָה, 'the LORD is just/righteous') initiated repentance.
