King James Bible - 2 Chronicles 12:8

Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

World English Bible

Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."

Douay-Rheims - 2 Chronicles 12:8

But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.

Webster's Bible Translation

Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

Original Hebrew

כי
3588 יהיו 1961 לו  לעבדים 5650  וידעו 3045  עבודתי 5656 ועבודת 5656 ממלכות 4467 הארצות׃ 776

SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:8

Pero serán sus siervos; para que sepan qué es servirme a mí, y servir a los reinos de las naciones.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 12:8

Verse 8. They shall be his
servants] They shall be preserved, and serve their enemies, that they may see the difference between the service of God and that of man. While they were pious, they found the service of the Lord to be perfect freedom; when they forsook the Lord, they found the fruit to be perfect bondage. A sinful life is both expensive and painful.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 8. Nevertheless, they shall be his
servants , etc.] tributaries to the king of Egypt: that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries ; the difference between them, how easy the one, which they might perform without taxes and tributes, and how hard and heavy the other, through the exactions and exorbitant demands of those to whom they became subjects.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Rehoboam,
forsaking the Lord, is punished.

--When Rehoboam was so strong that he supposed he had nothing to fea from Jeroboam, he cast off his outward profession of godliness. It is very common, but very lamentable, that men, who in distress or danger or near death, seem much engaged in seeking and serving God, thro aside all their religion when they have received a mercifu deliverance. God quickly brought troubles upon Judah, to awaken the people to repentance, before their hearts were hardened. Thus it becomes us, when we are under the rebukes of Providence, to justif God, and to judge ourselves. If we have humbled hearts under humblin providences, the affliction has done its work; it shall be removed, or the property of it be altered. The more God's service is compared with other services, the more reasonable and easy it will appear. Are the laws of temperance thought hard? The effects of intemperance will be found much harder. The service of God is perfect liberty; the servic of our lusts is complete slavery. Rehoboam was never rightly fixed in his religion. He never quite cast off God; yet he engaged not his hear to seek the Lord. See what his fault was; he did not serve the Lord because he did not seek the Lord. He did not pray, as Solomon, for wisdom and grace; he did not consult the word of God, did not seek to that as his oracle, nor follow its directions. He made nothing of his religion, because he did not set his heart to it, nor ever came up to steady resolution in it. He did evil, because he never was determine for good __________________________________________________________________
