Contextual Overview
1When Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he abandoned the law of the Lord—he and all Israel with him. 1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rechav`am was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Yisra'el with him. 1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord , and all Israel with him. 1 When the rule of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the law of the Lord , and all Israel with him. 1 After Rehoboam's kingdom was set up and he became strong, he and the people of Judah stopped obeying the teachings of the Lord . 1 After Rehoboam's rule was established and solidified, he and all Israel rejected the law of the Lord . 1When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him abandoned the law of the LORD. 1 When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him abandoned the Law of the LORD. 1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of Yahweh, and all Israel with him. 1 And when Rehoboam had established the kingdome and made it strong, hee forsooke the Lawe of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves,.... Both by words acknowledging their sins, and the justice of God, and by deeds, perhaps putting on sackcloth, as was usual on such occasions, and betaking themselves to fasting and prayer:
and they said, the Lord is righteous; in giving them up into the hand of their enemies, seeing they had forsaken him, and sinned against him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They said, The Lord is righteous - i. e., they acknowledged the justice of the sentence which had gone forth against them 2 Chronicles 12:5.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 12:6. Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves — This is not mentioned in the parallel place, 1 Kings 14:25-29: this was the sole reason why Jerusalem was not at this time totally destroyed, and the house of David entirely cut off; for they were totally incapable of defending themselves against this innumerable host.
