Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 12:7-8

_ _ when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves — Their repentance and contrition was followed by the best effects; for Shemaiah was commissioned to announce that the phial of divine judgment would not be fully poured out on them — that the entire overthrow of the kingdom of Judah would not take place at that time, nor through the agency of Shishak; and yet, although it should enjoy a respite from total subversion, [Judah] should become a tributary province of Egypt in order that the people might learn how much lighter and better is the service of God than that of idolatrous foreign despots.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Chronicles 12:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 12:7

Some deliverance — I will give some stop to the course of my wrath, which was ready to be poured forth upon them to their utter destruction. Those who acknowledge God is righteous in afflicting them, shall find him gracious.
