6. And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.
7. And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.
8. But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.
9. So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,
10. Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.
11. And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.
12. But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.
