2 Chronicles 12:8

Shishak Raids Jerusalem

7When the LORD saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but will soon grant them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.8Nevertheless, they will become his servants, so that they may learn the difference between serving Me and serving the kings of other lands.”
